Why we leave out the salt

Walk down any supplement aisle and you'll find electrolyte mixes loaded with sodium, often 500 to 1,000 mg per serving. We intentionally made Brain Cardio salt-free, because for most people, more sodium is the last thing they need.

• Most of us already get far too much: According to the CDC, about 90% of Americans consume more sodium than recommended. The average adult takes in around 3,400 mg a day, well above the 2,300 mg daily limit set by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, mostly from processed and restaurant foods.
• Excess sodium and inflammation: A growing body of research shows that high sodium intake can promote inflammation, disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome and push the immune system toward a more inflammatory state.
• Excess sodium and your heart: High sodium intake is one of the best-documented contributors to elevated blood pressure, a leading factor in cardiovascular health.
• The overlooked electrolyte is potassium: Most people get too little potassium and too much sodium. Healthy fluid balance, nerve signaling and blood pressure depend on the right ratio between the two.

That's why high-salt electrolyte drinks are overrated for most people and can work against your long-term health goals. Unless you're an endurance athlete losing large amounts of sweat, you probably don't need extra salt. What your brain and heart need instead are the electrolytes and nutrients most diets lack: magnesium, potassium and taurine. Brain Cardio delivers exactly that, with zero added salt.

Taurine: the conductor of your electrolyte orchestra

Electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium only work when they are in the right place, in the right amounts, at the right time. Simply adding more of them isn't enough. Something has to direct the traffic, and that is where taurine comes in. Taurine is one of the most abundant free amino acids in your heart, brain and muscles, the very tissues that depend most on precise electrolyte balance, and it acts as a master regulator of how electrolytes move in and out of your cells.

• Directs electrolyte traffic at the cellular level: Taurine helps regulate the ion channels and pumps, including the sodium-potassium pump, that move electrolytes across cell membranes. That keeps the electrical charge of your nerve and muscle cells stable, which every heartbeat and every thought depends on.
• Keeps calcium in check: Calcium triggers every muscle contraction, including each beat of your heart. Taurine helps heart and muscle cells manage calcium precisely, supporting strong, steady contractions and healthy heart rhythm.
• Balances hydration inside your cells: Taurine is a natural osmolyte, meaning it helps cells hold the right amount of water and maintain healthy cell volume, supporting true hydration at the cellular level, not just in your bloodstream.
• Helps your body manage sodium: Taurine supports the kidneys' natural ability to balance sodium and water, which is one reason it pairs so well with a salt-free formula.
• Calms and stabilizes nerve signaling: In the brain, taurine supports GABA activity and helps stabilize nerve cell membranes, supporting a calm, focused and balanced mind.
• Works hand in hand with magnesium: Taurine and magnesium support each other. Taurine helps cells retain magnesium, and magnesium supports taurine's activity, which is why Brain Cardio pairs 2,000 mg of taurine with a 307 mg triple magnesium blend.

The result is electrolyte balance that is managed, not just supplied. Instead of flooding your body with salt, Brain Cardio gives your heart and brain the nutrients that orchestrate electrolyte balance from the inside out.

Brain Cardio Ingredients and Benefits

Taurine (2000mg per serving)

Brain Cardio contains 2000mg of Taurine, a non-essential amino acid, which rapidly declines with age, stress, and toxin exposures, such as heavy metals like lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic.  Additionally, alcohol also depletes taurine stores. Depletion of taurine has major and significant health implications. Research has shown that using 2000-6000mg per day helps to restore taurine levels, supporting heart and brain health, along with optimal metabolic function, all by way of stabilizing electrolyte balance at the cellular level. 

Taurine Benefits

Taurine is a unique amino acid that, unlike most others, does not contribute to protein building. Instead, it provides direct benefits to the heart, brain, mitochondria, immune system, pancreas, and nervous system. 

Taurine must be obtained through animal-based foods such as meat, dairy, and fish or through supplementation, as it is not found in plant-based foods.

Beet Root Powder extract (1000mg of Sabeet, min 2% nitrate)

Brain Cardio contains a patented Beetroot powder extract, rich in nitrates. Nitrates are essential for nitric oxide production, which supports blood flow in both the brain and heart.  This improved blood flow, especially to the brain and heart, supports cognitive function and optimal cardiovascular function. 

Brain Cardio uses a patented non-GMO beetroot powder standardized to nitrate concentration that contributes to cardiovascular and neurological benefits by increasing the body's NO levels. This, in turn, promotes and supports vasodilation, balanced blood pressure, enhanced circulation to the brain/body, supporting cognitive and cardiovascular function.

Beetroot Powder and Nitrate Standardization

Our patented Beetroot powder, standardized for nitrate concentration, primarily supports cardiovascular and neurological health through the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide (NO) pathway.

Benefits of enhanced nitric oxide production

Cardiovascular Health Benefits

Boost in Nitric Oxide (NO) Levels. Dietary nitrate from beetroot converts into nitrite and subsequently NO, enhancing nitric oxide production in the body.

Improved Blood Flow Through Vasodilation

NO acts as a vasodilator, helping blood vessels relax and widen, which increases blood flow throughout the circulatory system.

Supports Arterial flexibility

Beetroot extract supports youthful, supple arterial flexibility

Neurological support

Enhanced Brain Blood Flow. By boosting NO levels, beetroot supports blood flow to the brain, crucial for delivering oxygen, nutrients, and glucose for optimal cognitive function.

Support Cognitive Performance

Supports cerebral blood flow and oxygen delivery, critical for working memory, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.

Supports Antioxidant levels

Antioxidants from compounds such as betalains and polyphenols help combat oxidative stress and free radical damage linked to cognitive decline.

Neurotransmitter Support

NO acts as a neurotransmitter and modulates other neurotransmitters involved in mood, learning, and memory.

Supports learning and memory

NO plays a key role in synaptic plasticity, the brain’s ability to form and reorganize synaptic connections necessary for learning and memory.

From beetroot to better blood flow: how Sabeet™ works

Brain Cardio uses Sabeet™, a patented, non-GMO beetroot extract standardized to a minimum of 2% natural nitrates. That means every 1,000 mg serving delivers a consistent, measured amount of nitrate, at least 20 mg. Ordinary beet powders can vary widely in nitrate content from batch to batch, so you never really know what you're getting. With Sabeet™, you do.

Once you drink Brain Cardio, those natural nitrates follow a remarkable pathway in your body:

• Step 1, nitrate to nitrite: Friendly bacteria on your tongue convert dietary nitrate into nitrite.
• Step 2, nitrite to nitric oxide: Your body then converts nitrite into nitric oxide (NO), one of the most important signaling molecules for your blood vessels.
• Step 3, vessels relax and open: Nitric oxide signals the smooth muscle in your artery walls to relax, allowing vessels to widen and blood to flow more freely.

Why this pathway matters as we age. Your body's own ability to make nitric oxide from the amino acid L-arginine naturally declines with age and a less active lifestyle. The nitrate pathway provides a second, independent route to nitric oxide, helping support healthy levels even as the body's own production slows down.

Circulation, blood flow and vascular health benefits

• Supports healthy circulation: Relaxed, open blood vessels help blood move efficiently from your heart to every organ and tissue.
• Supports blood flow to the brain: Your brain relies on a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood. Nitric oxide supports healthy cerebral blood flow, especially to the brain regions involved in focus and decision making.
• Supports vascular health and arterial flexibility: Nitric oxide supports the health of the endothelium, the delicate inner lining of your blood vessels, helping arteries stay flexible and responsive.
• Supports healthy blood pressure levels already within the normal range.
• Supports oxygen delivery and exercise performance: Better blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients reach your muscles, supporting endurance, stamina and efficient energy use.

Tip: Antibacterial mouthwash can reduce the helpful mouth bacteria that start the nitrate-to-nitric-oxide process, so consider skipping it right before or after your Brain Cardio.

Summary

Our patented Beetroot powder standardized for nitrate concentration supports cardiovascular and neurological health by increasing nitric oxide levels in the body. This leads to balanced blood pressure and improved circulation support throughout your brain and body.

Vitamin B6 (5mg P5P)

Brain Cardio also uses the essential vitamin B6 in its active form (P5P) to support and optimize your brain and heart health.  B6 plays a crucial role in brain and heart function by supporting neurotransmitter production and healthy homocysteine levels. 

Brain Health

• Neurotransmitter Production: Vitamin B6 supports the creation of serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, essential for mood, sleep, and cognitive function.
• Cognitive Support:  B6 deficiency has been linked to memory issues and cognitive decline. 
• Homocysteine Regulation: Helps balance homocysteine levels.  Elevated homocysteine can damage neurons.  
• Mood Balance: B6 is an essential cofactor for the production of neurotransmitters, like serotonin, GABA, dopamine,  and noradrenaline.

• Antioxidant Properties: Vitamin C's antioxidant function helps protect against oxidative stress, supporting healthy blood vessels and heart function

Brain Cardio combines these powerful ingredients to holistically support brain performance, heart health, and overall vitality.

Designed to sip: why a drink mix works better

Brain Cardio is a drink mix for a reason. Instead of swallowing a large dose of minerals all at once in a pill, you can sip it through your morning, afternoon or evening and give your body a steady, consistent supply of electrolytes and nutrients over several hours.

• Better absorption, less waste: Your gut can only absorb so much of a mineral like magnesium at one time. Research shows that as a single dose gets larger, the percentage your body absorbs goes down. Spreading the same amount over a few hours helps your body absorb more of what you take in, instead of letting the excess pass through unused.
• Already dissolved and ready to absorb: Because Brain Cardio is dissolved in water, its minerals are ready to be absorbed. There is no tablet to break down first.
• Steady levels all day: Nutrients like taurine and potassium are used and cleared by the body within hours. Sipping keeps a steady supply flowing, just as your heart and brain use them, continuously throughout the day.
• Easier on the stomach: Smaller, spread-out amounts of minerals such as magnesium are gentler on digestion than a large single dose.
• Hydration that actually hydrates: Sipping electrolytes with water supports steady fluid balance, rather than the peaks and dips of drinking large amounts at once.

Keep a bottle of Brain Cardio at your desk, in the car or in your gym bag, and let every sip keep your brain and heart supported from morning to evening.

How to use

Mix 2 scoops (approx. 10.2 g) into 8 to 16 oz of water once daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For best results, sip it over a few hours, through your morning, afternoon or evening, rather than drinking it all at once. It is also a great caffeine-free refresher before or after exercise.
