Clarity

At CLARITY, we have selected each ingredient taking into account its concentration, its standardization, the interaction between them, and the way in which it can be utilized by the body. Because a larger amount of extract does not always mean a better formulation: it is also important to know which active compounds it contains and how much each dose actually provides.

A good example is Ebel.One™, an advanced form of Bacopa monnieri. Conventional extracts tend to concentrate on bacosides, compounds that the body must transform during digestion. Ebel.One™ technology anticipates part of that process and provides an extract concentrated and standardized in ebelin lactone, one of the compounds resulting from said transformation. Thus, each dose provides a known and constant amount of this compound.

According to its manufacturer, this concentration allows for formulating with a smaller amount of extract than that usually used with other forms of Bacopa. It is not, therefore, a matter of adding more Bacopa, but of choosing a more defined, concentrated, and consistent form. Its production process is described in the manufacturer's technical documentation and in the patent documentation, while the biological interest of ebelin lactone is supported by prior experimental research 1,2,3 (Network Nutrition, n.d.; Ramasamy et al., 2015; patent WO2024107995A1).

CLARITY incorporates Cognizin®, a patented form of citicoline developed through a fermentation process. Citicoline provides two components present naturally in our body: choline and cytidine, used in different processes related to nerve cell membranes.

The added value of Cognizin® lies in offering a raw material of high purity, controlled composition, and traceability, in addition to having been used as a specific ingredient in studies conducted on humans. Again, it is not just about including citicoline, but about knowing exactly which citicoline we are using, and with Cognizin® we know both its origin and the control applied to its manufacturing (Kyowa Hakko Bio, n.d.).

L-theanine is an amino acid characteristic of tea leaves. In CLARITY, we use PureTheanine®, obtained through fermentation and with a purity greater than 98%, according to its manufacturer's specifications.

This form makes it possible to provide L-theanine in a precise and constant manner, without depending on the natural variations that may exist between different tea extracts 5 (Tradichem, n.d.).

This same precision extends to the plant extracts in CLARITY. A plant can change depending on its variety, its origin, the moment of harvest, or the way it has been processed. That is why indicating only the milligrams of an extract does not always tell the whole story.

The standardized extracts present in CLARITY have been selected to guarantee a defined amount of their compounds. In other words, it is not enough to say that CLARITY contains lion's mane, ginkgo, or huperzia. It is also important for us to know what each of those extracts actually provides.

In CLARITY, we have not only selected the ingredients by their name or the amount included. We have also taken care of their origin, their purity, and the specific form in which they are present. That is why we combine patented and branded raw materials with standardized extracts: different ways of achieving a more precise, constant, and recognizable composition in each dose to promote balanced mental performance, without the formula depending on stimulant ingredients.
