MindWorks®

Overview

Neural connections in our brain start declining as early as age 20, and by age 45, this decline occurs even more rapidly. Studies show the key ingredients in MindWorks® improve short-term mental sharpness and support long-term cognitive health.*

MindWorks ingredients have been shown in three clinical studies and dozens of laboratory studies to immediately enhance mental sharpness and focus and protect against age-related mental decline.*†

Ingredients

Powered by an exclusive chardonnay seed extract and carefully selected guarana.

Only available to Shaklee, MindWorks® contains a unique chardonnay grape seed polyphenol blend created using a patent-pending water extraction process that results in a 30x concentration of specific polyphenols.‡ These polyphenols have been shown in clinical studies to be more bioavailable and impact healthy blood vessel function. This extract is designed to help make vital nutrients available to the brain by supporting healthy circulation.*

Our carefully selected guarana extract has been extensively tested—guarana has long been used traditionally by Amazonian Indian tribes. It helps improve cognitive performance, and one serving of MindWorks contains less caffeine than a medium cup of decaf coffee.*

†Based on a two-year study of 223 adults with mild cognitive impairment.

‡Percentage by weight of monomeric flavonols compared to a fresh grape seed

Scientific studies have shown the key ingredients in MindWorks® work in 3 ways:

• Immediate improvement in cognitive performance, 3x better than the control group**
  • Over time, neural connections become less efficient, impairing our ability to recall, think, and respond. A key nutrient in MindWorks was shown in multiple clinical studies to significantly enhance short-term memory, sharpen focus, and improve reaction time.*†
• Protects against age-related mental decline*
  • Key nutrients in MindWorks were shown in laboratory studies to promote the formation of new neural connections and in a clinical study to reduce brain shrinkage rate by 30% over two years.‡ In addition, MindWorks key nutrients were shown in laboratory studies to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain.*
• Supports healthy circulation*
  • Blood circulation is critical for delivery of oxygen and key nutrients to the brain. It is linked to neural activity.

**At 6 hours vs. control

†Based on a two-year study of 223 adults with mild cognitive impairment.

‡Based on thermographic imaging results from a double-blind preliminary Shaklee employee-use pilot trial.
