Brain health supplements and medications are called “Nootropics” or memory enhancers, brain boosters, and cognitive enhancers. Whatever you happen to call them, they all aim to improve your brain health.
Brain enhancers can be a vitamin, mineral, amino acid, herb, or prescription medication. They work in various ways to improve your cognition, memory, and mental clarity.
It’s no secret that our bodies need nutrients to stay healthy and work optimally. While ideally we get all of these nutrients from our diet, it can be challenging to fully fuel and check all of those boxes. Not to mention that sometimes the foods available can be hard for our body to draw out the maximum nutrient benefits. BioPharma Scientific has created supplements that are packed with nutrients that work together and are highly absorbable. Using their advanced “Supersorb Technology®” delivery system they’ve designed their supplements to optimize nutrient absorption so your body can use those nutrients to their maximum benefits. They hope that by providing a more convenient and effective way to get these nutrients to the body they can in turn empower people worldwide to find greater health and well-being. For today’s blog I will highlight a few of their most popular supplements so you can get an idea of what these nutrient packed products look like.

Ed Smith and Sara Katz built Herb Pharm in 1979. Both Ed and Sara were fascinated by plants and their medicinal properties. As they grew their company they sought to understand plants with greater depth and explore their vast healing properties. They expanded their knowledge of botanicals and their uses through travel and research and they strongly believe that broad-spectrum liquid herbal extracts are the most effective way to administer herbs. The Herb Pharm brand has become renowned as a highly trusted herbal extracts company with over four decades of Certified Organic and regenerative herb agriculture. In this blog I’ll explore 8 of their most popular supplements giving you an idea of their composition and use.
Biocidin is a full spectrum and multi-use botanical formula. I have written several blogs discussing the basics of the formula, the research, programs, and how to avoid side effects.
The biggest “problem” with Biocidin is that it works too well. It will kill pathogens and your body will respond with more inflammation if your detox pathways are not open. I discuss in this blog how to ensure you detox pathways are open so that you don’t experience side effects known as “detox” or “herx” reactions.
Balancing your blood pressure can feel daunting. It’s a crucial part of keeping your body happy and healthy but yet it can be a frustrating process of trial and error that leaves you with undesirable side effects and not a lot of progress. Daily habits and diet choices can be a huge help in this process, but sometimes a little assistance from a supplement can be what makes that final difference. It’s important to carefully vet the supplement chosen because many supplements and medications for blood pressure can have negative effects on other facets of your body when used long-term. Ayush Herbs is a company that has worked hard to provide a safe and effective supplement to assist in blood pressure.

Biocidin herbal formula has rightly earned a great reputation for clearing the most stubborn infections and conditions. The herbs are powerful on their own and their effect is exponentially stronger when combined. I discuss the basics of Biocidin here, and the medical research here. In this recent blog, I discuss the complete 30 and 60 Biocidin programs and each supportive formula included in the kit.
For just a quick overview and review, Biocidin was developed by Dr. Rachel Fresco, LAc, PhD, to address biofilms and imbalances in the gut micrboiome while supporting systemic health. It’s become a cornerstone in integrative protocols for SIBO, Candida overgrowth, Lyme disease, and even mold toxicity.
It is a powerful blend of botanicals that are well-studied for their antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral strengths. The combination has recently it has been recognized for its ability to disrupt biofilms. I’m not over-exaggerating, when I say this is the most powerful herbal combination I know about. I always recommend starting low and slow with anything that kills microbes within our body. Please review this and my other blogs, the programs users guides, or schedule a consult with me, Carly Neubert BA, NC before using Biocidin formulas.
Many medications on the market are meant to manage the symptoms one is experiencing. K PAX is uninterested in being a band-aid supplement, focusing on the symptoms. Instead, K PAX supplements work with your body’s innate strengths. K PAX supplements work with the mitochondria, what many people refer to as “the powerhouse of the cell”. Improved mitochondria function can improve your energy and immune function naturally and in a way that is far more sustainable than solely addressing the symptoms. Stretching beyond energy, when mitochondria are working at their best, they help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation throughout the body. Oxidative stress and inflammation have been linked to metabolic disorders including insulin resistance and obesity. K PAX’s combination of medical-grade micronutrients and antioxidants have been carefully crafted to achieve their goal to have you “Feel Good. Do More. Be Present.” In this blog I will give you a look into three of K PAX’s best-selling formulas, their ingredients, and how they may be able to support you.
Have you heard the phrase—‘jack of all trades, master of none’? This concept comes from the idea that if you spread yourself too thin, you may do decently in each area of learning you venture into but you will never truly master any of the areas, any of the trades. There have been many theories on how best to mitigate this challenge, balancing being well-rounded with achieving mastery. One way to do so is to join together and build with one another. Three Minnesota-based companies decided to do just that. In 2019 Master Supplements, U.S. Enzymes and Tomorrow’s Nutrition Pro joined together to offer a full range of probiotic, enzyme and fiber supplements, while maintaining their specialties. They are united in their commitment to transparency and high quality supplements. You can be sure that what is on the product label will indeed be what is inside your capsule/powder. In this blog we’ll discuss the Master Philosophy of these three companies, a bit about what each company specializes in, as well as some of their best selling formulas.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: just eat whole foods. You can take all the prescription pills and supplements you want, but you will never make up for what you are missing when you don’t eat real, whole foods. Your body and cellular intelligence far outweigh what your thinking brain relies on. There is a synergy between the nutrients that are available in real food that you can never mimic with processed foods or supplements.
