A new brain health supplement—Sophrosyne—combines four ingredients clinically proven to improve cognition and memory.
Dr. Daryl Rhys Jones, a neuroscientist formerly with the Mayo Clinic and current CEO of Jonescientific, led the development of Sophrosyne after years of research and testing. Dr. Jones is an expert in the development and function of the nervous system, including the brain.
Dr. Jones—who has done extensive research on Alzheimer’s and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)—and his team scientifically evaluated hundreds of ingredients for their memory and cognition-building properties and produced the supplement using what they found to be the four most effective ones.
The key ingredients of the formula include:

The key ingredients of the formula include:
- Withania somnifera (500 mg).Commonly known as Indian ginseng, Ashwagandha or winter cherry, this herb has been proven to regenerate damaged brain cells.
- Curcumin (180 mg). A natural chemical produced by some plants, featuring antioxidant properties, this ingredient has shown to help maintain a healthy environment within the brain by removing unwanted proteins. An 18-month UCLA human clinical trial confirmed that consuming 180 mg of curcumin per day led to significantly enhanced memory and focus.
- Bacopa monnieri (300 mg). In at least four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials, this herb has been demonstrated to enhance cognition and memory, and decrease the rate of forgetting newly-acquired information. It was shown to prevent the breakdown of neurotransmitters essential for cognition and memory.
- Hericium erinaceus (500 mg). Also known as Lion’s mane due to its unique appearance, this medicinal mushroom has been found to increase levels of peptides essential for the survival of brain cells. In a 16-week double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled human trial, a high dose of this ingredient was found to improve cognitive function in seniors.
