Cocoa is a plant native to South America, and is the source of cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate and other products. Cocoa beans are rich in a number of compounds that are believed to have health benefits, including flavonoids, polyphenols, and other antioxidants. In traditional medicine, cocoa is used as a natural remedy for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other cardiovascular problems. It is also thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, and it may be helpful in reducing inflammation and swelling in the body.

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that plays a crucial role in cell structure and function, particularly in the brain. It's a key component of cell membranes, aiding in cell signaling and maintaining cellular integrity. In the context of the brain, phosphatidylserine supports cognitive function, memory, and neurotransmitter regulation. Additionally, it's commonly used as a dietary supplement to potentially enhance cognitive performance and mitigate age-related cognitive decline.

Vinpocetine is a synthetic compound that is derived from the alkaloid vincamine, which is found in the periwinkle plant (Vinca minor). It is used as a dietary supplement and is claimed to have a number of potential health benefits, including improving memory and cognitive function, increasing blood flow to the brain, and reducing inflammation. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in 2019, issued a warning that those who are pregnant or who could become pregnant should avoid vinpocetine due to safety concerns.

| Formula |
- Jarrow Formulas BrainBoost combines clinically documented ingredients to deliver both short-term and long-term benefits.
Sharp-PS Gold supplies the form of phosphatidylserine found naturally in the brain as a conjugated complex of DHA (omega-3) fatty acid as part of the triacylglycerol tail of the phosphatidylserine phospholipid. Phosphatidylserine is important for cell membrane
fluidity and improves brain uptake of DHA.
Chocamine Plus (extract of Theobroma cacao) is a patented extract high in theobromine that has been shown to positively affect cognitive and motor functions, including reaction time.
Vinpocetine supports brain metabolism by increasing brain circulation, enhancing the cerebral synthesis of ATP, improving the utilization of oxygen and supporting the synthesis of several neurotransmitters that affect such critical brain functions as memory, recall, focus and mood.
