Brain Candy Ingredients
The Brain Candy® formula contains five research-backed ingredients. Here's a rundown of what each has to offer:
Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Acetyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid that increases the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and serotonin, which play essential roles in mood and brain function. It might also work by directly enhancing neural transmission by stimulating synapses or blocking post-synaptic inhibition.
Acetyl-L-carnitine also synergizes other nootropics, potentiating the overall effects of the formula.
As a user experience, Acetyl-L-carnitine appears to increase your electrical "wattage" so you burn brighter and longer. Here are some of the powerful ways acetyl-L-carnitine benefits the brain and body:
- Improves mood, social interaction, and verbal fluency
- Increases energy production in the mitochondria, boosting physical and mental energy for several hours
- Increases mental processing speed, learning rate, attention span, short-term and long-term memory, and facial recognition
- Increases glucose levels in the brain
- Stimulates brain cells and prompting them to grow more connections to other neurons
N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine

N-acetyl-L-tyrosine is a more water-soluble form of the amino acid L-tyrosine, which the brain uses to make dopamine. Dopamine plays a big part in memory, focus, libido, and sense of well-being.
Acetyl-L-tyrosine leaves people feeling refreshed after training or manual labor by mitigating some of the short-term stress caused by intensive work. Here are some of its advantages:
- Improves mood
- Reduces common social anxiety
- Boosts positive outlook
- Improves memory and learning capacity
- Improves analytical skills
- Increases energy
- Improves concentration
- Reduces short-term stress
CDP Choline

CDP Choline, also known as citicholine, is a highly bioavailable form of choline, which is essential for brain function. In addition to enhancing mental alertness, CDP choline provides the following benefits:
- Improves attention span and memory
- Enhances production of ATP in brain cells
- Optimizes signaling between brain neurons that enhances learning, cognition, and recall
DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol)

DMAE is a naturally produced amine in the brain, and you can also find high levels in certain seafoods. Some of its effects include the following:
- Improves memory
- Increases sense of well-being
- Improves sleep patterns
- Increases alertness and concentration
L-Theanine

L-theanine is an amino acid that produces a relaxed-alert state with causing drowsiness. It's known to mitigate some of the jittery effects of caffeine. Here are some of the other advantages of taking L-theanine:
- Enhances speaking ability
- Reduces normal anxiety
- Improves cognition and mood
- E sense of well-being
- Improves sleep patterns
