Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 18, 2014 -- In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee beginning his pioneering work leading to the invention of Vitalized Minerals, one of the first multivitamin supplements in the world, and many other groundbreaking products, Shaklee Corporation is once again demonstrating its commitment to safe, scientifically validated products that help people live healthier lives with its introduction of Shaklee MindWorks. “Unlike other cognitive health supplements, this exclusive leading-edge formula, based on proprietary ingredient technology, has been shown to provide benefits in both the short-term and long-term,” says Shaklee Chief Science Officer, Bruce Daggy, Ph.D.

The brain’s neural connections start declining as early as age 20. By age 45, this decline occurs even more rapidly, which may lead to increased frequency of forgetfulness, poorer concentration and slower reaction times. Maintaining brain health depends on proper nutrition, regular exercise and healthy circulation.

MindWorks from Shaklee, a pioneer in nutritional health, contains nutrients shown in laboratory studies to promote the formation of new neural connections in the brain, and in a clinical study to reduce brain shrinkage rate.* † The evidence of their benefits includes three clinical studies plus dozens of laboratory studies. Shaklee MindWorks contains key ingredients that have three important benefits:

1. Immediate improvement in memory and focus* 3X better than the control group.
2. Protects against age-related mental decline* as shown in clinical studies by reducing brain shrinkage rate by 30% over two years.    
3. Supports healthy circulation* which is important for the delivery of oxygen and key nutrients to the brain.

** At six hours versus control.
† Based on a two year study of 223 adults with mild cognitive impairment.

Shaklee MindWorks has a unique blend of ingredients and a partnership with a leading brain training software company to deliver both nourishment and exercise for the brain.

● A new chardonnay seed extract, exclusive only to Shaklee, is made with a patent-pending extraction process that concentrates specific polyphenols that re clinically proven to be more bioavailable than those used in non-Shaklee products.
● Unlike energy products that use caffeine-spiked guarana, Shaklee sourced guarana for a specific polyphenol blend. One serving of MindWorks contains less caffeine than a medium cup of decaf coffee.
● Shaklee MindWorks purchase also comes with free monthly access to CogniFit brain training software, so you’ll be able to exercise and strengthen your brain while getting the nourishment it needs.
