Brain Elevate 60’s

Brain Elevate, Seven Ingredients at Stated Amounts

Brain Elevate is taken for everyday mental clarity and focus, and it brings together seven ingredients at stated amounts in a single vegetarian capsule — ginkgo extract 60 mg, gotu kola 125 mg, L-glutamine 125 mg, choline 50 mg, rosemary extract 25 mg, phosphatidylserine 15 mg and a huperzine complex. 60 vegetarian capsules to a bottle.

The thing worth knowing about this formula is that every amount is printed. Most products in this category hide behind a proprietary blend, so you buy a list of names and never learn how much of anything you are getting. Below you will find the full panel, what each part is, how much to take, and the medicines our pharmacist needs to check it against before you start.

What Is in Brain Elevate, and How Much

Per vegetarian capsule, from the manufacturer’s own panel.

• Gotu kola extract 125 mg (Centella asiatica, 4:1 leaf extract). A plant long used in Ayurvedic and South-East Asian practice, and one of the two largest amounts in the capsule.
• L-glutamine 125 mg, free form. An amino acid the body uses widely, including as a precursor in the brain.
• Ginkgo extract 60 mg (Ginkgo biloba leaf), standardised to a minimum of 24% ginkgoflavonglycosides and 6% ginkgolides. That standardisation is the mark of a properly made ginkgo: it is the specification used in the research literature, and it is the reason this costs more than an unstandardised leaf powder.
• Choline 50 mg, from choline bitartrate, which is 9% of the daily reference intake. Choline is a nutrient the body genuinely needs, and it contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, to normal lipid metabolism and to the maintenance of normal liver function. The amount needed to claim those three is 82.5 mg per serving, so one capsule sits just under it and two capsules clear it.
• RoseOx rosemary leaf extract 25 mg (Rosmarinus officinalis), standardised to a minimum of 6% carnosic acid. A branded antioxidant extract rather than a culinary rosemary.
• Phosphatidylserine 15 mg, from soy lecithin. We will be straight with you: this is a token amount, and you should know it. The published phosphatidylserine studies run from 100 mg to 300 mg a day, so 15 mg is a name on the label rather than a working dose. If phosphatidylserine is specifically what you are after, tell us and we will show you something that carries it properly.
• Huperzine complex 25 mcg (Huperzia serrata moss). This one deserves a sentence of its own, and it is in the caution section below rather than buried here, because it is pharmacologically the most active thing in the capsule.

The capsule shell is plant based, so the product suits a vegetarian or vegan diet, and the only other ingredients are rice flour, silicon dioxide and a vegetable-source stearate. It contains soy, from the phosphatidylserine.

How to Take Brain Elevate

The manufacturer’s instruction is 1 capsule, once or twice daily, and it adds a sentence most labels do not: do not exceed that amount without a doctor’s advice. Please let our pharmacist confirm which of the two suits you and write it down, and we will start you at one.

That extra sentence on the label is a signal and we would rather explain it than skip past it. A formula containing a standardised ginkgo and a huperzine complex is more pharmacologically active than most things sold alongside it, so the maker has deliberately capped the amount and pointed you at a professional. We agree with them, and checking it takes a minute at our counter.

Take it with food. It is easier on the stomach that way, and the fat in a meal helps with the phosphatidylserine and the rosemary extract.

Give it a fair and honest trial. You may have read that results arrive in four to six weeks. We would rather not put a number on it, because nobody has measured this particular combination to that standard and we are not going to invent a timeline for you. Take it steadily, judge it for yourself, and if it is doing nothing for you after a couple of months the answer is to stop rather than to double up.

Who This Suits

Adults who want a transparent formula with every amount printed rather than a proprietary blend. People who already know they get on with ginkgo and would rather buy it alongside the rest than as a standalone. Anyone who wants a properly standardised ginkgo extract, since the specification on this one matches the research grade. Vegetarians and vegans, as the capsule is plant based. And anyone who would rather buy a formula like this from a pharmacy that will read it against their prescriptions than from a shelf where nobody asks.

Is Brain Elevate Right for You?

This is the part we would ask you to read, and then come and talk to us. These five points are the manufacturer’s own cautions and they are more specific than most.

• BRING US YOUR MEDICINE LIST, PARTICULARLY IF YOU TAKE AN ANTICONVULSANT OR AN ANTIDEPRESSANT. The manufacturer names both. The reason is the huperzine complex: huperzine A works by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine, which is the same mechanism as some prescription medicines, and it can pull in the same direction as certain drugs and against others. Our pharmacist will go through your list in a minute, and if it is not a sensible combination we will tell you so rather than sell it to you.
• IF YOU TAKE A BLOOD THINNER OR ASPIRIN, OR HAVE A CLOTTING DISORDER, PLEASE SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR, OR OURS, BEFORE YOU START. Ginkgo affects how long bleeding takes to stop, and the manufacturer names both bleeding time and coagulation disorders. The doctor already managing your medicine should know you are considering this.
• IF YOU HAVE SURGERY OR A DENTAL PROCEDURE BOOKED, STOP TAKING IT BEFOREHAND AND TELL YOUR SURGEON. Same reason. Two weeks clear is the usual advice and your surgeon will give you theirs. Tell us the date and we will remind you when to stop.
• IF YOU HAVE A LIVER CONDITION, ASK US FIRST. The manufacturer names liver disease specifically, and our doctor is here if you would rather discuss it at the counter than wait for an appointment.
• Adults only, and not during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The manufacturer restricts it to adults and excludes pregnancy and nursing. It also contains soy, from the phosphatidylserine, so tell us if you avoid soy. And if the reason you are looking at this is a memory change you have genuinely noticed in yourself or a parent, that deserves assessment rather than a purchase — our doctor is here at the pharmacy and can see you.

Storing It

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, below 25 degrees, and out of reach of children. A cupboard rather than a windowsill, a bathroom shelf or the cupboard above the cooker. Plant extracts lose potency with heat and light, which is the main reason this one is sold in an opaque bottle, so keep it in its own container rather than decanting it into a pill box for the week. Leave the desiccant sachet in until the last capsule.

Where to Buy OsteoMove in Kenya

Order online and we deliver countrywide, or collect from our pharmacy at Kahawa Sukari Shopping Center, Nairobi. We send orders to Nairobi and every neighbourhood around it — the CBD, Westlands, Parklands, Gigiri, Muthaiga, Runda, Rosslyn, Kitisuru, Lower Kabete, Lavington, Kileleshwa, Kilimani, Karen, Langata, South B, South C, Eastleigh, Buruburu, Donholm, Embakasi, Ngong Road, Kasarani, Roysambu, Zimmerman, Githurai, Ruaka, Banana Hill, Two Rivers, Village Market and Pride Lands — and across Kiambu, Thika, Juja, Ruiru, Kikuyu, Limuru and Ngong.

Beyond the capital we deliver to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, Machakos, Athi River, Kitengela, Kajiado, Naivasha, Narok, Kericho, Bomet, Kisii, Migori, Homa Bay, Siaya, Bungoma, Busia, Kakamega, Vihiga, Webuye, Kitale, Nandi Hills, Iten, Kapenguria, Embu, Meru, Chuka, Kerugoya, Murang’a, Othaya, Nyahururu, Nanyuki, Maralal, Isiolo, Marsabit, Moyale, Wajir, Mandera, Garissa, Lodwar, Kitui, Mwingi, Makueni, Emali, Kibwezi, Voi, Taveta, Wundanyi, Mariakani, Diani, Ukunda, Kilifi, Watamu, Malindi, Lamu and Hola. At two tablets a day a bottle runs for a long time, so tell us the pack size you want and we will work out how many months that covers before you order.

Across Africa, ask us before you order. We have sent orders to Uganda, Tanzania, Somaliland and as far as Malawi, and we will quote for Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and the rest of the continent. Shellfish and bovine-derived ingredients occasionally need an import declaration, and this formula contains both, so tell us the destination and we will confirm the paperwork before the parcel leaves us.

Living abroad? Order from wherever you are and we deliver to your family here in Kenya. Kenyans in the UK, the United States, Canada, South Africa and the Gulf order from us regularly for parents and relatives at home. A joint supplement is a sensible thing to send, because the benefit builds over months and a steady supply matters far more than a single bottle. Two tablets a day is also the easiest regimen to keep up with. Tell us who it is for, how many months you want covered, and whether they have a shellfish allergy or avoid beef, and we will set up the repeat.

Why Buy Your OsteoMove from HealthAlone Kenya?

HealthAlone is a pharmacist-led health ecosystem licensed by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board, and our stock is original, sealed and correctly stored. Kahawa Sukari is a real counter with real pharmacists behind it.

Our pharmacists will flag the shellfish and the bovine chondroitin before you pay, show you the shellfish-free or plant-derived option when that is the right answer, read you the amounts and say plainly which parts of the formula are doing the work, check it against warfarin, against any surgery you have booked and against your diabetes if you have it, and tell you honestly how long to give it. Our doctor is here too if you would rather have the whole question looked at properly.

It is one more step in our vision: building Africa’s most trusted health ecosystem, accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Brain Elevate used for?

It is a combination supplement taken by most people for everyday mental clarity and focus. It brings together seven ingredients in one capsule: ginkgo extract, gotu kola, L-glutamine, choline, a standardised rosemary extract, phosphatidylserine and a huperzine complex, all at printed amounts rather than inside a proprietary blend.

What is in Brain Elevate, and how much?

Per capsule: gotu kola extract 125 mg, L-glutamine 125 mg, ginkgo extract 60 mg standardised to 24% ginkgoflavonglycosides and 6% ginkgolides, choline 50 mg, RoseOx rosemary leaf extract 25 mg at 6% carnosic acid, phosphatidylserine 15 mg and huperzine complex 25 mcg. 60 capsules to a bottle.

How many capsules should I take a day?

The manufacturer’s instruction is 1 capsule, once or twice daily, with the added note that you should not exceed that without a doctor’s advice. Let our pharmacist confirm which of the two suits you, and we will write it down. We start most people at one.

How long before Brain Elevate works?

We would rather not give you a number. You may have read that four to six weeks is the usual answer, but nobody has measured this particular combination to that standard and we are not going to invent a timeline. Take it steadily with food, judge it for yourself, and if it is doing nothing for you after a couple of months the sensible answer is to stop rather than to take more.

Can I take Brain Elevate with my other medicines?

Bring us your list first, and this is the one product on our brain shelf where we would insist on it rather than suggest it. The manufacturer specifically names anticonvulsants, antidepressants and anything that affects bleeding time. The huperzine complex in the formula slows the breakdown of acetylcholine, which is the same mechanism as some prescription medicines, and the ginkgo affects clotting. Our pharmacist will check the whole list in a minute, and if it is not a sensible combination for you we will say so.

Can I take it if I am on a blood thinner, or have surgery booked?

Please talk to your doctor, or ours, first. Ginkgo affects how long bleeding takes to stop, and the manufacturer names bleeding time, coagulation disorders and planned surgery in its own cautions. If you have an operation or a dental procedure coming up, stop beforehand and tell your surgeon — two weeks clear is the usual advice and your surgeon will give you theirs. Tell us the date and we will remind you when to stop.

Is Brain Elevate safe for long-term use?

At the label amount it is intended for ongoing daily use, and most people take it without trouble. The conditions worth settling first are the ones above: your medicine list, any clotting or liver condition, and any surgery booked. It is for adults only and not for use in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Come and talk to our pharmacist and it is a short conversation.

Does it contain choline, and how much?

Yes, 50 mg per capsule from choline bitartrate, which is 9% of the daily reference intake. Choline has three recognised nutrient roles — normal homocysteine metabolism, normal lipid metabolism and the maintenance of normal liver function — and the amount needed to claim them is 82.5 mg per serving, so one capsule sits just under it and two clears it. We mention it because some listings describe this as a choline supplement, and at one capsule a day it is not primarily that.

Does it contain soy?

Yes. The phosphatidylserine is drawn from soy lecithin, and the soy is non-GMO. The capsule shell itself is plant based, so the product suits a vegetarian or vegan diet. If you avoid soy, tell us and we will show you the alternatives we carry.

Can I take Brain Elevate with other supplements?

Tell us what else you are taking. Ginkgo turns up in a good many combination products, choline turns up in multivitamins and focus blends, and doubling up on either without meaning to is easy. Bring the bottles or photograph the labels and our pharmacist will add it up with you.

Who should not take it?

Anyone under 18, anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and anyone who avoids soy. Beyond that it is a conversation rather than a list: if you take an anticonvulsant, an antidepressant, a blood thinner or aspirin, if you have a clotting or liver condition, or if you have surgery booked, please speak to us or to your doctor before starting rather than after.
