Concentration & Focus

Natural nootropics are attracting growing interest for their ability to support brain function without the unwanted effects of classic stimulants. Lion’s Mane, a mushroom rich in erinacines and hericenones, is studied for its action on nerve growth factor (NGF). Bacopa monnieri, an age-old Ayurvedic plant, supports memory and learning thanks to its bacosides. Ginkgo biloba, one of the oldest tree species in the world, promotes cerebral microcirculation and oxygen supply to nerve cells. At Herba Barona, we select extracts standardised for active compounds to guarantee real effectiveness.

Certain amino acids play a key role in producing the neurotransmitters essential to concentration. L-tyrosine is a precursor of dopamine and noradrenaline, involved in motivation and alertness. Phosphatidylserine, a phospholipid naturally present in neuronal membranes, supports membrane fluidity and cell-to-cell communication. Long-chain omega-3s (DHA) contribute to the maintenance of normal brain function. We also offer complexes combining several of these actives for a synergistic effect. Every product is selected for the quality of its raw materials, its dosage and the absence of unnecessary additives, in line with our commitment to transparency since 2006.
