GAMINATE MENTAL ENERGY - NUTRIENTS FOR THE BRAIN

28

Fundamental question: What is and what is not GAMINATE?

People hearing about GAMINATE for the first time in various situations could be divided into three main groups: 

  • those who want to test it straight away, because they understand what it is and why they should use it - this group is obviously the "easiest" for us, because all they need is to verify its effectiveness on themselves, and this is no longer difficult.

And two more difficult ones: 

  • those who ask you to explain briefly, in the proverbial "one sentence", what this product is and what it gives, 
  • and those who immediately say "...chemistry, afterburner, not for me...".

And I'll be honest and say that of the latter two at one time, paradoxically I had far more of a problem with the former group 🙂 . 

This is because it is relatively easy to tell someone 'in doubt' about the whole idea of a product, its effects, its ingredients, the fact that it is generally quite different from what J thinks, with a few minutes or a dozen sentences 'at their disposal'.

In contrast, I have always found it extremely difficult to contain the whole thing in one short sentence.

In the end, it worked, and if I had to summarise the whole idea behind GAMINATE literally in 4 words, I would say it is:

ENERGISING NUTRIENT FOR THE BRAINwhich de facto describes the key functions of the product, and with 3 more to go, I would add IMPROVING COGNITIVE ABILITIES.

Nourishment, because the primary function of the product and the way it works is precisely to nourish our brain.

It's not some kind of steroid or booster (and all too often this is precisely the first association), which will increase the brain's performance in the short term while at the same time over-exploiting and even destroying it (something a'la overclocking the processor 🙂 )


The vast majority of the ingredients from which GAMINATE is composed are so-called precursors of key neurotransmitters for the proper functioning of our nervous system, such as serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, GABA, adrenaline ...

What are neurotransmitters?

Neurotransmitters, on the other hand, are substances that enable any kind of communication to take place between neurons in our brain, so any deficiencies or disruptions to their normal levels immediately have a negative impact on the functioning of our nervous system, and thus very often of the entire organism.

What, from my point of view, was crucial in the development of the GAMINATE formulation is that inappropriate (under- or unbalanced) levels of neurotransmitters do not allow our brain to work at the efficiency it is naturally designed for. Thus, through neurotransmitter deficiencies or dysfunctions, we are unable to fulfil our natural potential.

We are not able to learn new things as efficiently and quickly, remember, associate or even react quickly enough to external stimuli as nature predestined us to do :-).

Neurotransmitters vs Gaminate

As I mentioned, the ingredients present in GAMINATE are mainly precursors of these neurotransmitters, i.e. substances from which our organism synthesises the necessary neurotransmitters for itself in the right quantities. This is why, among other things, there is no danger of any "overdose" of active substances.

And why the widespread shortages, and why do we 'need' to provide these precursors in the form of a supplement such as GAMINATE?

Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle and a poorly varied diet, very low in valuable nutrients, are generally responsible for this.

We are perfectly capable of providing all the ingredients our bodies need to function optimally (at the best possible level J) with a proper diet. However, the common truth is that the vast majority of us do not provide it... And this is where products that provide the body with the right natural building blocks for it, without over-exploiting it, can prove helpful.

This is why I would call GAMINATE a kind of A NUTRIENT FOR THE BRAINwhich is designed to provide it with the necessary ingredients for its optimal performance J

Why ENERGISING?

The nutritional function, which from my point of view is the most important function of GAMINATE, manifests its beneficial effects in full force only after some time - preferably several days or several weeks of use, although the effect on the immediate levels of certain neurotransmitters is relatively rapid - noticeable not long after consumption. And interestingly enough, relatively often (as the aforementioned deficiencies are practically universal in the population), a clear effect of improved cognitive abilities is felt by many users practically immediately after consumption. Sometimes - and this is determined by individual characteristics - the effects reported by our users are even spectacular J. But there is really no "magic" here; a "simple" supplement to a permanent deficiency can do just that.

When developing the formula for GAMINATE, from the very beginning we set ourselves the goal of creating a product that would really, noticeably improve users' cognitive abilities, and if we had not succeeded in this, the product would ultimately not have appeared on the market (unlike many, many others... ;-)), because in our opinion, it would not have been viable in the long term.

That is why our recipe includes as many as 12 main active ingredients (some in 2 forms) further enriched with a vitamin complex and coconut water for better hydration. And all this in doses that ensure the real action of these ingredients, and not "homeopathic" giving only the opportunity to construct a long and nice-looking list on the J product label (which is unfortunately an extremely common occurrence in the supplement industry...).

In order for users to be able to feel the positive effects of GAMINATE, they should be able to feel it practically immediately, because this is also generally the expectation of users of most products of all kinds - we want effects practically immediately, here and now, and we have set ourselves the goal of meeting this expectation.

We have therefore planned to obtain double whether twofold in time GAMINATE ACTIVITIES:

  • long-term - related precisely to the function of brain nutrition
  • immediate - practically immediately after consumption associated with a feeling of a surge of positive energy and mental refreshment.

And I would call the latter, and in fact the former in retrospect, the action just ENERGISING.

A point that is often made here is that caffeine is responsible for a relatively large part of the energising effect, but this is not a dose that, if consumed daily, would harm anyone (one serving of GAMINATE provides 200 mg of caffeine, which is half of the daily intake considered to be safe), which is roughly equivalent to the dose found in 1-2 coffees, and we can drink several of these a day.

What is key, however, in terms of the GAMINATE formula and the effect of caffeine, is that, because it is encapsulated in a matrix of other ingredients acting synergistically with it (e.g. l-theanine), its effect is significantly modulated and extended over time. This is compounded by the aforementioned ad hoc increase in neurotransmitter levels, so that the energising effect is of a fundamentally different nature to that commonly known from, for example, standard energy drinks.

And to describe how different the effect is I'll use a quote from our user feedback, which phenomenally (I'll admit I wouldn't have captured it so well myself J) captures its essence.

Well, many of them write that after drinking GAMINATE "they feel as if they have slept"- and here is the crucial difference between this immediate effect of GAMIANATE and standard energy drinks.

Energetics give a feeling of short-term stimulation resulting only from the effects of caffeine and sugar, which helps you stay awake, while  GAMINATE MAKES YOU FEEL AS IF YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SLEEPY AND RESTED - is, for me, the quintessential example of this 'immediate' impact of GAMINATE.

Thus Summary once again the whole thing literally in one sentence:

GAMINATE is an ENERGIZING BRAIN FOOD to improve cognitive performance,

and is absolutely not an afterburner, a steroid, a "chemistry" that short-cycles the brain like a CPU clock overexploiting it.

  1. My family and I have completed 4 packs. I personally am delighted. Finally something that works and didn't feel like sleeping through last winter. I have just stocked up on two more plus I am starting an adventure with Gaminate Hydration.
    In summary: I recommend
