Get To Know The Ingredients
The special blend of ingredients in Carte Blanche supplements comes from a diverse background of Ancient Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Amazonian healing cultures. Combined with the knowledge and extraction technologies of modern science, we bring you an optimal combination of different medical disciplines in one convenient package.
DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) – DMAE is a compound naturally formed in the human body but can also be found in oily fish such as salmon or sardines. DMAE increases the production of Acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter that’s crucial for helping nerve cells send signals. It is an essential part of the brain’s learning and memory functions. It also helps clear the buildup of a brain plaque known as beta-amyloid, which is commonly associated with mental decline and memory loss. DMAE supplements may have the ability to improve memory retention, concentration, and reduce depression. Do not take DMAE if you are using Anticholinergic drugs such as those used for Parkinson’s disease or if you are taking Cholinesterase Inhibitors. **
Ginkgo Biloba Extract – This ancient tree has been an important part of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Ginkgo improves blood flow to the brain and acts as an antioxidant. Some studies have found that in healthy people, Ginkgo Biloba might boost memory and cognitive speed. Several studies have shown that it can help with memory problems caused by dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Do not overuse Ginkgo Biloba if you are taking blood thinning medications or have a bleeding disorder. The concentration found in Carte Blanche products is considered safe when used as directed. **
Bacopa Monnieri Extract – Bacopa Monnieri is a highly regarded herb in Ayurvedic Medicine. Preliminary evidence suggests that Bacopa may have antioxidant and neurotransmitter activating properties. The herb contains saponin compounds such as bacosides, which may enhance the function of neurotransmitters involved in cognition, learning, and memory, and inhibit inflammation in the brain. In addition, bacosides have been shown to enhance mood and reduce cortisol levels, leading to a reduction of stress and anxiety. At present, there are no known interactions between bacopa and foods, other herbs, or supplements. Exercise caution when taking any new supplement. **
Turmeric Extract (High Curcumin) – Turmeric Extract and its primary active component, curcumin, are some of the most powerful longetivity compounds found in nature. This root has been used heavily in Indian culture for thousands of years, both as a food and as Ayurvedic medicine. Research has shown that daily usage of Turmeric may potentially improve memory function in adults without dementia. It may also combat depression by boosting serotonin, dopamine and BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Turmeric is considered as generally safe but exercise caution when taking any new supplement. **
Huperzine A Extract – Huperzine is a powerful nootropic extracted from the Chinese Club Moss. It functions like a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine. Especially when used in conjunction with DMAE, Huperzine A has been shown to improve cognitive function in a variety of ways. It may enhance learning, boost memory, increase alertness and speed up reaction time. There may be some benefit to persons suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Huperzine appears to be a relatively safe compound from animal studies of toxicity and studies in humans showing no side-effects at dosages routinely supplemented with. Exercise caution when taking any new supplement. **
Adaptogenic Mushrooms (Hercicium and Panaeolus) – Our custom blend of Hercicium (Lion’s Mane) and Panaeolus (Haymaker Mushroom) provides a multitude of benefits, starting with its anti-inflammatory effects in cerebral regions. Research has shown that these mushrooms have the ability to help regulate the body’s serotonin pathways, and also aid the regeneration of nerve cells. These mushrooms may also provide cardiovascular protective benefits. Lion’s Mane, like DMAE, has been shown to help reduce amyloid plaque, which may help prevent Alzheimer’s Disease. We use a concentrated Lion's Mane extract to further increase its effectiveness.**
