Quercetin & Polyphenol Defense
Potent polyphenols cross the blood-brain barrier, shielding neural tissues against oxidative stress and promoting neuroplasticity.
Prebiotic Pectin & Microbiome Nourishment
Soluble pectin ferments into beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs like butyrate), reinforcing the gut mucosal barrier.
Best consumed in the active hours of the day or 30 minutes before cognitive/physical activity. Natural sugars are immediately channeled into cellular glycogen.
