Our minds have two overarching phases: active and restorative. And each phase has its own needs. While we’re awake, our brains need specific nutrients to produce energy. While asleep, our brains need a chance to power down and recharge. The unique day-and-night dual formulas of &Mind work with our natural rhythms for comprehensive 24-hour support.
Our Brains
in Active Phase
While we’re awake, our brain is juggling untold processes. Sensory input, coordination, adapting, and learning. Managing internal systems like heart rate, blood flow, and organ function. Emotional maintenance and regulation. All of that takes an immense amount of energy—around 20% of our body’s total energy expenditure** is used by our brain.

Daytime Nutrients for Optimal Brain Energy, Clarity, and Function.
Antioxidants, vitamins, amino acids, and complex compounds work together to fuel and protect your brain.
-
120mg of Ginkgo Biloba is rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals and enhance cerebral blood flow and cognitive performance.
-
500mg of Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps improve cellular energy production to support mental energy.
-
30mg of Glucoraphanin activates cellular defense mechanisms to protect DNA.
-
100mg of a B-Vitamin Complex supports mental energy production, focus, and cognitive performance.
-
100mg of CoQ10 supports cellular energy production and maintains a healthy inflammatory response in the brain.
Our Brains in
Restorative Phase
During restoration, our brain goes through four sleep cycles. Each one plays its role, but the final two sleep cycles—Stage 3 and REM sleep—are the most important for repair, regeneration, memory, and emotional processing. Stress, overstimulation, and other disruptions can have an outsized impact on brain health.
