IQ150 Brain Health FAQs
- How does SomaLife IQ150 work?
SomaLife IQ150 provides essential antioxidants and phytonutrients to the brain as well as other natural products that encourage the optimization of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are those specific brain chemicals that play a major role in brain function in transmitting messages from cell to cell.
- What are the ingredients in SomaLife IQ150?
SomaLife IQ150 contains Citocoline (Cognizin Brand), Baccopa Monnieri, Turmeric Powder, Green Tea Extract, Phosphatidylserine, Phosphatidylcholine, Spanish Sage Extract and Ginkgo Biloba Extract.
- What are the capsules made of?
The capsules are completely natural and vegetable based.
- What is Phosphatidylserine and how does it help?
Phosphatidylserine, otherwise known as PS, has been used for age-related decline in mental function in older people as well as improving quality of function in younger people. Additionally, it has been used in the treatment of attention deficit, hyper-activity disorder and depression.
- What is Phosphatidylcholine and how does it help?
Phosphatidylcholine is a fat soluble phospholipid that occurs normally in humans. Although the body is able to synthesize phosphatidylcholine it obtains most of its phosphatidylcholine from dietary sources. It is felt that phosphatidylcholine offers structural support to the cells and to the neurotransmitters. In particular, phosphatidylcholine has been shown to increase acetylcholine, norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine levels in both animal models and patients with Alzheimer's disease. Phosphatidylcholine is another brain protector and is a major constituent of lecithin and in clinical trials has been shown to improve explicit memory.
It is usually derived from soya beans in particular soya bean lecithin which works well in conjunction with phosphatidylserine.
- What is Turmeric Powder and how does it help?
Turmeric powder also known as Curcumin is derived from the root of the Curcumin plant and was traditionally used for dyspepsia of abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating and headaches. More recently it has been shown to be effective in enhancing neurotransmitters and also has antioxidant and neuro-stimulatory effects.
- What is Green Tea and how does it help?
Green Tea is derived from the leaf, leaf bud and stem of the common tea plant, Camellia sinensis, and has been traditionally used to improve cognitive performance and to treat stomach disorders and headaches, as well as being used locally as a wash to soothe sunburn or in bags as compresses and poultices. It has powerful antioxidant polyphenols, flavonoids and phenolic acids as well as caffeine, all of which act to protect the brain and improve alertness, clarity and retention.
- What is Spanish Sage and how does it help?
Spanish Sage is an extract of the leaf of the Spanish Sage plant Salvia lavandulaefolia, which was demonstrated in recent studies to enhance memory in adults. It was known for years by our ancestors that it had this kind of effect which has recently been confirmed in clinical studies at European universities.

- Should I consult my health care professional before starting SomaLife IQ 150?
The only time it is necessary to consult a health care professional before starting SomaLife IQ150 is if you are taking blood thinners (anticoagulants, such as Coumadin , Warfarin or various Heparins). There is a theoretical possibility that Ginkgo Biloba and Aspirin can contribute to increased blood thinning but this has not been shown in practice to increase each individual constituent's normal anticoagulants effect.
