Gaia Herbs - Mental Alertness Brain & Cognitive Support - 60 Vegan Liquid Phyto-Caps Gaia Herbs Mental Alertness supports mental clarity, focus and memory. Lack of focus and distractibility can make everyday activities a struggle. Mental Alertness helps enhance the cognitive functions of the brain with concentrated herbal extracts that support memory, concentration, and clear thought. The inclusion of plant-based antioxidants additionally helps protect the integrity of vessels that deliver blood to the brain. Brain & Cognitive Support Liquid Phyto-Caps® Proudly made in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Vegetarian Liquid Phyto-Cap is made from cellulose from pine bark. Gaia Herbs uses 190-proof distilled alcohol derived from corn and wheat. Gaia also use 190-proof Certified Organic, GMO-free, corn-derived and sugarcane-derived alcohol for all products that are listed as Certified Organic in organic alcohol. There are no gluten containing ingredients in Gaia Herbs' products, with the exception of Reflux Relief (made by Aboca for Gaia Herbs), which contains Barley (listed on the label). 190 proof grain alcohol (from wheat and corn) used for extraction, is distilled and certified gluten-free by the manufacturer. The distillation process eliminates proteins (gluten is a protein). Gaia Herbs' oats (Wild Oats Milky seed) are grown on an organic farm and are not cross contaminated with any gluten containing grains, therefore they are also considered to be gluten-free. The products do not go through a gluten-free certification process. Gaia Herbs is committed to using and supporting only non-GMO materials. Gaia never purchases GMO herbs and/or ingredients, with the exception of non-organic alcohol, which cannot be reliably procured from non-GMO crops. Gaia does a purchasing review to ensure they eliminate the possibility of "hidden" GMO's making their way into the products. Gaia uses a documented certified non-GMO source of soy lecithin, which is used as an emulsifier in some encapsulated products. All herbs propagated and grown on Gaia Herbs' farm are certified organic and therefore GMO free. The seed used in all certified organically grown crops is gathered on their own farm or produced from other certified organic growers and is GMO free. In rare instances where they cannot obtain certified organic seed, Gaia obtains seed from suppliers fully committed to non-GMO practices. Gaia also purchases as many organic and/ or ecologically harvested ingredients as possible to avoid any GMO. Gaia is currently and will continue to do everything possible to ensure that all products are non-GMO. Alcohol-based extracts have a 5-year expiration date, and alcohol-free extracts have a 3-year expiration date. The Liquid Phyto-Caps carry a 3-year expiration date. This is based on the date of manufacture. They do not need to be refrigerated to stay viable. The best way to store extracts is in a cool, dry place, out of the sun, like a cupboard or pantry. They do not need to be refrigerated but should be kept from high temperatures. The Phyto-Caps should not be refrigerated and should also be stored in a cool, dry place, away from extremes of temperature. Occasionally, some natural separation may occur with the Phyto-Cap products after encapsulation. This does not alter the quality of the product. "Between meals" means that for optimal absorption, you should take the product away from food, either half an hour before eating, or 2 hours or more after eating. You may have noticed that the labels for some of the Liquid Phyto-caps do not include the "Dry Herb Equivalent" comparison number Gaia traditionally puts under the Supplement Facts box on the cartons/labels. Due to the variability of bioactivity in these botanicals, it is difficult to assign a dry herb equivalent as the amount of raw material needed to meet the label claim varies batch to batch. To change the packaging for this voluntary comparison each time Gaia makes the product would significantly impact the efficiency of the manufacturing process. Therefore, Gaia has decided to remove the dry herb equivalent reference from the cartons/labels for these items. Consumers can be assured, however, that the milligram extract amount reported in the Supplement Facts box, however, does not vary batch to batch. Gaia Herbs uses a size 0 (zero) capsule for all their encapsulated products.
