Memorable Quotes:

"Paraxanthine is actually healing your brain. It actually increases BDNF, which is neuroplasticity, meaning the resilience and malleability of your brain to take on new tasks. It's increasing blood flow to the brain, nitric oxide. It's increasing serotonin and dopamine, so you feel better, you feel more confident, you're more productive. And it's increasing glutathione and catalase, which are the key antioxidants, so it's reducing oxidative stress." – Shawn Wells 

"You need a lot of magnesium every day to be fully energized because there's explosions. As we're talking, sitting here, there are just trillions of explosions happening in all of our mitochondria. So, to make energy, you have to have magnesium, you have to have oxygen, you actually have to have copper too, which a lot of people don't know about." – Barton Scott
