- extensively studied in Europe.
- improves cerebral circulation (causes a mild dilation of blood vessels allowing for increased cerebral blood flow resulting in increased oxygenation and glucose utilization)
- enhances memory
- promotes higher mental acuity and awareness
- enhances cognitive functions
- increases brain-cell energy through its effect on the production of ATP
- promotes alertness, awareness, and preparedness
- enhances oxygen delivery to the brain, muscle, and liver
- improves hearing function
- improves visual function
- improves cardiovascular function
