Brain Function

Black rice extract supports the maintenance of a healthy brain by protecting against oxidative stress, which is harmful to the human body and can negatively impact mental function. This means that black rice extract supports brain and memory health. Studies have shown that the antioxidants and anthocyanins found in black rice extract support the bodies protection against oxidative stress, and that the properties of these anthocyanins support the enhancement of learning and memory (1).* 

Anthocyanins, like those found in black rice, have also been connected to fighting mental aging. A 2012 study found that these anthocyanins could slow the mental aging process by as much as 2.5 years. What this means is that a diet high in anthocyanins, like those present in black rice, supports healthy brain and mental function (2).*

Simply Perfect Powder is 100% Sprouted Black Rice Powder. Black rice varieties contain GABA (3) and GABA has been shown to support brain function, heart health, protect the intestines and could prevent sleeplessness and depression. GABA may also lower glucose levels, suppress tumor growth, inhibit inflammation and limit allergies (4). GABA, Gamma-Amnobutyric Acid limits neural activity and allows the brain to slow down. This is an extremely important job and it limits damage to the brain cells. Gaba deficits have been found in people with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.*
