Brain Factors
Brain Factors
Help your brain reach full potential by promoting cognition, learning, and memory function.
Stay sharp with Brain Factors, designed to optimize brain health by promoting BDNF, a substance produced by the body that promotes growth of brain and nerve cells, and increasing NAD+, which enhances cellular energy production.

What is BDNF?
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor is a protein that plays an important role in learning, memory, and behavior. BDNF levels tend to decline in older or over-stressed individuals.
-
Support Brain Fog
Suffering from brain fog or mommy brain? The key nutrients in Brain Factors promote optimal brain health, and support focus, attention, and mental fatigue.
-
Caffeine or Polyphenols
Can't do without your midday coffee? If it's a pick me up you're after, studies show that the polyphenols in coffee fruit extract increase BDNF almost 4x more than caffeine.
Key Ingredients
The Good Stuff

Coffee Fruit Extract
BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is a protein that helps the brain flourish, providing support for brain cells and the nervous system. As we age, our levels of BDNF decline, and a low level of BDNF is associated with multiple negative effects of aging.
Coffee fruit extract helps maintain a healthy BDNF level, which:
- Promotes the development and growth of new brain cells.
- Supports the communication pathways between nerve cells.
- Supports cognitive functions like learning, memory, and focus.
- Supports balanced neurotransmitters – natural chemicals that regulate nervous system functions like mood and sleep.
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an important coenzyme found in every cell. NAD+ is crucial for supporting numerous metabolic and cellular functions in the body. However, NAD+ declines significantly with age, as well as from excessive stress, which can lead to reduced vitality.
As a direct precursor to NAD+, NR efficiently stimulates NAD+ production, which in turn promotes various aspects of healthy aging, efficient mitochondrial metabolism, and cellular protection and repair.
Benefits of NR:
- Promotes healthy aging by helping maintain energy production at the cellular level.
- Protects against oxidative stress and the DNA damage that accompanies it.
- Supports normal circadian rhythm – the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
- Helps increase the number and health of mitochondria in cells, thus benefiting mitochondrial metabolism.
- Supports cellular repair processes.
Betaine Anhydrous (Trimethylglycine)
Supporting the body’s methylation processes optimize the benefits of NR. Betaine (also known as trimethylglycine) is a superior methyl donor in the body – each molecule of betaine supplies three methyl groups.
By promoting efficient methylation, the betaine in Thorne’s Brain Factors:
- Supports important cognitive functions in aging adults, like memory and focus.
- Enhances optimal metabolism of NAD+.
- Helps maintain balanced levels of neurotransmitters in the brain.
- Promotes a healthy level of homocysteine in the blood, which supports cognitive and cardiovascular health.

Exclusive Nicotinamide Riboside
The Thorne Difference
Nicotinamide Riboside that is bound to hydrogen malate is an ingredient that is exclusive to Thorne. Malate, an important Kreb’s cycle organic acid, supports NR’s role in cellular energy production capability.
Optimizing NR’s benefit can be further achieved when the body’s methylation processes are supported. Researchers have found correlations between the aging of bodily tissues and the extent of DNA methylation – known as “epigenetic clocks.” The Thorne products that contain nicotinamide riboside also contain nutrients that are well known methyl donors, in contrast to NR products on the market that do not contain methyl-donating nutrients.
Amazing
I took this for three months but I didn’t notice any changes in my brain function.
Brain Factors has been part of my daily routine for several months. I've noticed an improvement in my focus, feeling energetic, and sense of calm. Well worth it.
I believe in the science-based efficacy of this supplement and its intended use, but it's hard to gauge the effectiveness because this is a health and performance-enhancing product, and not a supplement meant to address a deficiency. Disclaimer: These are my individual thoughts and I am not a professional!
This supplement is great for brain fog and concentration. My husband has been using this for six months and has had great results.
