LIPOSOMA’s hot-chocolate flavored NutraCups® DHA Brain Support is a functional food, owing its health benefit for brain and cognitive functioning to the uniquely combined effects of its bioactive ingredients. DHA contributes to normal brain performance, while vitamin C supports the functioning of the nervous system. The nervous system and the brain have high oxygen demands, and the antioxidants vitamin C and E in this drink can contribute to scavenging free radicals in these structures. Oxidative stress can play a role in cognitive problems that may arise during ageing, such as problems with memory, reasoning and problem solving. The cocoa flavanols in this NutraCup are suggested to help maintain normal mental health**, as they might increase blood flow and vascular health in the brain and sensory systems, and stimulate the production of neuroprotective and neuromodulatory proteins.
