Discover the molecule that could change how your brain ages.
Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why? Or struggled to find the right word in a conversation? These small lapses are a normal part of ageing, but they’re also a reminder of how precious our brain health is.
Did you know a small but mighty molecule called cGP (cyclic Glycine-Proline) is quietly working behind the scenes to keep your brain sharp?
What is cGP?
cGP is naturally produced by your body and helps manage a key hormone called IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1). Together, they help maintain and rebuild tiny blood vessels, keeping blood flow strong and your brain cells healthy. Think of cGP as your brain’s ally, working to keep your memory, focus, and mental clarity in top form.
Why is Blood Flow in the Brain So Important?
Your brain needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to function well, delivered through a vast network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries. As we age, these vessels can become damaged or less effective.
Research shows that from middle age onwards, blood flow to our cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain responsible for higher-level thinking, reduces by 0.42% each year. Capillaries also become less functional, with the most significant changes occurring in middle age. Over time, these changes accumulate, leading to a tipping point around age 75 when the risk of stroke and dementia rises steeply.
Backed by Science
Don’t just take our word for it, research shows that people with higher cGP levels enjoy better memory and clearer thinking.
At the forefront of this discovery is our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Jian Guan, a world-leading neuroscientist and the foremost expert on cGP. Dr. Guan’s groundbreaking work revealed that cGP is essential for brain health, and she has dedicated over 30 years to uncovering how it works and the benefits it brings.
Highlights from Dr. Guan’s Research:
- Cognitive Function: Studies in healthy older adults show those with higher cGP levels perform significantly better in memory and cognitive tests.
- Blood-Brain Barrier: cGP is easily absorbed and crosses the blood-brain barrier, reaching the brain where it’s needed most.
- Stroke Recovery: Clinical research found that stroke patients with higher cGP levels at the time of stroke experienced better recovery over three months. In pre-clinical studies, cGP restored capillary density after stroke in mice, indicating restoration of blood flow.
- Parkinson’s Disease: In a clinical pilot study, Parkinson’s patients taking an early version of cGPMAX® experienced significant improvements in mood, including less anxiety and depression. Those with the highest cGP levels also had better cognition.
- Alzheimer’s Disease: Pre-clinical studies in mice with Alzheimer’s disease showed cGP improved memory and reduced amyloid-beta plaque build-up—a hallmark of the disease.
- BDNF and Neurogenesis: Emerging research suggests cGP may increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), supporting the growth of new neurons in adults and helping protect the brain from ageing.
Closing the cGP Gap
Despite strong evidence for the importance of cGP in healthy ageing, our natural levels begin to decline, often from age 45, making it essential to find ways to support our cGP levels as we get older. This decline can affect how well our brain functions. That’s where cGPMAX® comes in.
Dr. Guan’s research and dedication led to the development of cGPMAX® - a cutting-edge supplement made from New Zealand blackcurrants and collagen, formulated to help keep your mind sharp. Backed by over 30 years of research, cGPMAX® is the first and only natural product to deliver a therapeutic dose of cGP.
