Bluebonnet Nutrition is a company founded in 1991 with the purpose of delivering pure and natural nutritional supplements.

Synopsis

1) Power Thought at a Glance

Power Thought is a combination of vitamins, amino acids, herbal extracts and various other nutrients which promotes cognitive enhancement benefits. The formula is free of milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and wheat, corn, yeast, gluten, barley, rice, sodium and sugar.

Phosphatidylserine or is a phospholipid component and an important building block nutrient for healthy, functional brain cells, where it is found in great concentrations. For medicinal uses, it is extracted and processed from soy beans. Research so far indicates that Phosphatidylserine can improve mental focus, short-term memory, mood, concentration, coordination and learning and may potentially assist against symptoms age-related decline in mental function (Alzheimer’s disease or dementia).

L-tyrosine is an amino acid with an important role in protein synthesis. Scientists believe that it helps prevent decline in cognitive function in response to physical stress, and that it can influence the synthesis of two important neurotransmitters Dopamine and Norepinephrine. L-Tyrosine is commonly used for depression, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), against stress and to enhance cognitive performance.

3) Is Power Thought Right for You?

Bluebonnet Kosher Power Thought is a complex of vitamins intended to aid memory and concentration.

Vitamin B6 is one of the main components of Bluebonnet Kosher Power Thought. This vitamin plays a significant role in the biosynthesis of four important neurotransmitters: serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Studies have shown that Vitamin B6 deficiency will eventually lead to a seborrhoeic dermatitis-like eruption, atrophic glossitis with ulceration, angular cheilitis, conjunctivitis, intertrigo and neurologic symptoms of somnolence, confusion, and neuropathy.

Another major component of Bluebonnet Kosher Power Thought is Vitamin B12. This vitamin plays a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system. Studies have shown that it is generally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production.

Glutamine is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code. Although it is not recognized as an essential amino acid, it may become conditionally essential in certain situations.

Bluebonnet Kosher Power Thought also contains taurine. This ingredient is mostly found in energy drinks, and few know that it alleviates cardiovascular ailments. Studies performed on mice demonstrated taurine’s positive effects in removing fatty liver deposits, thus preventing liver disease and reducing the risk of cirrhosis.

Ginkgo biloba is also one of the ingredients found in Bluebonnet Kosher Power Thought. This herb has been used for thousands of years and its efficacy in memory enhancement, and circulatory problems have been widely proven in different studies.
