Branched-chain amino acids in a 2:1:1 ratio, able to cross the blood-brain barrier and fuel neurons directly.
BCAA 2:1:1 refers to the three branched-chain amino acids — leucine, isoleucine and valine — combined in a 2:1:1 ratio, the same balance most commonly studied in sports and cognitive-performance research.
It anchors MemoGuard's mental-energy layer, providing neurons with a direct fuel source distinct from caffeine.
Branched-chain amino acids are documented by the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements for their role in protein synthesis and energy metabolism, with some research examining their relationship to central fatigue during demanding cognitive or physical tasks.
This describes general research on BCAA 2:1:1 itself, not the finished MemoGuard product, which hasn't been the subject of its own clinical trial. See the full ingredients list or the formula overview for more.
