Neumentix™ is a STANDARDIZED SPEARMINT EXTRACT (Mentha spicata) developed by Kemin Industries — distinguished by characteristic polyphenol complex bred for high rosmarinic acid content. Designed for working memory, focus, attention, and reactive ability without disrupting sleep. Multiple RCTs in young athletes, working adults, and older adults show cognitive benefits. Distinguished from generic spearmint extracts by Kemin's proprietary cultivar selection and standardization for cognitive applications.

Studied Dose 900 mg/day Neumentix (research-validated dose)
Active Compound Standardized spearmint polyphenols including rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acids

Benefits

Working Memory Enhancement

Multiple RCTs show Neumentix improves working memory — the brain function for attention, focus, productivity, and managing information in real time. Effects measurable within 30 days.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Sustained Attention and Focus

Neumentix supports sustained attention without the stimulant overstimulation of caffeine. Useful for cognitive performance throughout the day.

Supported by Trial 2

Reactive Agility (Athletic + Cognitive)

Studies in young athletes show Neumentix improves reactive performance — relevant to sports requiring quick decisions plus motor responses. Cognitive performance under physical stress.

Supported by Trial 2

Older Adult Cognitive Performance

RCTs in older adults with age-related memory impairment show Neumentix improves working memory and cognitive performance markers.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

No Sleep Disruption (Unlike Caffeine)

Distinguishes from stimulant-based cognitive enhancers — Neumentix supports daytime focus without disrupting nighttime sleep. Useful for late-day cognitive work.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Neuroprotection / New Neuron Growth

Polyphenols support new brain cell growth (neurogenesis) and neuroprotection. Relevant to long-term cognitive health and healthy aging.

Supported by Trial 1, Trial 2

Mechanism of action

1

Rosmarinic Acid and Salvianolic Acids

Neumentix's characteristic polyphenol complex includes ROSMARINIC ACID and SALVIANOLIC ACIDS — phenolic antioxidants with documented cognitive effects. Kemin selectively bred spearmint cultivar for high polyphenol content.

2

Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition (Modest)

Spearmint compounds modestly inhibit acetylcholinesterase — preserves acetylcholine for cognitive function. Mechanism shared with many cognitive botanicals.

3

Antioxidant / Neuroprotective

Polyphenol antioxidants reduce oxidative stress in brain tissue. Neuroprotective effects support sustained cognitive performance.

4

BDNF / Neurogenesis Support

Polyphenols promote BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and support new neuron growth. Mechanism for long-term cognitive benefits.

5

Proprietary Cultivar Standardization

Kemin selectively bred spearmint cultivar specifically for high polyphenol content. Distinguishes Neumentix from variable generic spearmint products.
