HELPS SUPPORT COGNITIVE FUNCTION
Is it a daily struggle to keep your focus and concentration on important tasks? Do you get that afternoon brain ‘blah’ when everything takes twice as long to get done? Perfect Protein Elevated Brain Booster is specifically formulated to support mental focus and stamina. It can be a wonderful aide for students when actively learning new things, as well as when we simply need that extra mental boost to get through our day.
REDUCES MENTAL FATIGUE
Despite all our best efforts to have balance in our lives, there are times when we need to push through difficult times. And with this often comes more mental fatigue and strain. Lion’s Mane and Rhodiola, two of the key ingredients in Perfect Protein Elevated Brain Booster are great for nourishing and supporting the nervous system and brain. Rhodiola in particular has been shown to reduce mental fatigue and improve performance on work-related tasks by 20% [1].
HELPS COPE WITH STRESS
What’s the biggest cause of mental strain? You guessed it, stress! So a brain boosting formula definitely needs to include some stress support. Rhodiola is a stimulating herb that helps us to better cope with the demands of stress in our lives, helping us feel less tired and overwhelmed. And the B vitamins have been studied for their protective effect from stress, with people experiencing less self-perceived stress and significantly lower confusion and dejected mood [2].
HELPS BUILD AND REPAIR MUSCLE
Protein provides us with the building blocks to synthesize and repair body tissues, including muscles. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are found in good concentrations in this formula, are of particular importance for this. This plant-based protein powder is helpful if you are wanting to maintain and even build healthy muscle mass. Protein is especially important after exercise [3], to repair damaged muscle and help it grow back stronger. Research tells us that eating protein before and after exercise helps increase muscle recovery, promote muscle building and can even reduce muscle ache.
Quinoa is an outstanding nutritional powerhouse. It has the highest protein content of all grains (although technically not a grain) and unlike most plant-based sources of protein, it provides a complete protein, which means it contains all the essential amino acids. Paired with Brown rice, we have a complete, well balanced protein for our everyday needs.
Botanica’s organic brown rice is treated with organic enzymes to support ease of digestion and to help break down some of the starch and fiber thereby naturally increasing the final protein content.
Coconut was chosen for this formula in part to support a balanced protein profile, and largely for its yummy goodness that gives the powder a smooth and creamy texture.
The smart mushroom
750 mg
Lion’s Mane has received its common name from its appearance as it has some resemblance to a lion’s mane and is often correlated with the look of the human brain and nervous system. It is an edible medicinal mushroom that has been referred to as the ‘smart mushroom’ for its ability to enhance cognitive function and mood [1]. In fact, Lion’s Mane has come to be considered a super star when it comes to brain and nervous system health.
Supports cognitive function
200 mg of a 4:1 extract (800 mg of dry herb equivalent)
Rhodiola is a wonderful adaptogen, which means it’s a herb that helps us to better resist the challenges of stress, passing through life’s demands with a little more ease and relaxation. It is also well known for supporting mental focus and learning. An all round great herb to give us a good little brain boost.
Help with energy production
Sourced from 400 mg quinoa sprouts
Our quinoa sprouts are grown in vitamin B rich substrate to provide a complete food-based vitamin B complex. Our B vitamins are crucial for healthy metabolism of our carbohydrates, fats and proteins, helping us convert the food we eat into glucose for energy [2]. They are also essential for the production of fuel and energy in our cells [3].

It is from the primordia – the mushroom sprout. It offers all of the vitality and therapeutic value of the mycelia as well as the constituents found in the mature fruit body.
No need to refrigerate the Perfect Proteins. We actually wouldn't recommend it as it won't help extend its shelf life, and it will most likely add moisture to the powder, which can create clumps. You can store your proteins in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources.
