Avocado Oil & Your Brain

Foods with distinctive health benefits that go beyond their nutritional value are called superfoods—and avocado is one of them.

Not only is it filled with good-for-you fatty acids, antioxidant phytonutrients, and amino acids, but it's also regarded as one of the top healthy-aging superfoods.*

Avocado is packed with nutrients that can help keep you staying HCF®.

Avocados are rich in powerful carotenoid antioxidants (like Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Vitamin E).¹ These antioxidants may play a role in combating oxidative stress and supporting cellular health, including brain function (but more on that later).*

Plus, avocados are rich in Potassium and Folate—which can help neutralize acidic waste in the body and promote a more alkaline environment in tissues and the bloodstream.*²

The fiber in avocados also supports gut health by promoting healthy digestion and a balanced microbiome.*

This balance can ultimately benefit your entire brain system (Head [1st Brain], Heart [2nd Brain], and Gut [3rd Brain]).*

So avocado is good for my health. But what exactly is Avocado Oil?

Avocado Oil is natural oil squeezed from the flesh of avocados. Its light, nutty flavor makes it a great choice for salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and cooking.

Why cooking? Because of its higher smoke point than other fats (like olive oil, sesame oil, or butter). This means you can heat it to high temperatures without smoking or breaking down and turning unhealthy.

Did you know Avocado Oil is also used in nootropics?

Avocado Oil can be a valuable component in nootropics—particularly when used to fill capsules. When used this way, Avocado Oil can act as a medium for other nutrients (typically encapsulated within microbeads).

Why is that important? Simple. It may help deliver these other active nutrients more effectively.*

Plus, the healthy fats in Avocado Oil may enhance the absorption of other nutrients (such as the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K),³ potentially making the overall nootropic formulation more efficient.*

Now, let's get back to the antioxidant properties.

You might already know that a diet rich in antioxidants can help combat free radicals.*

These unstable compounds can damage cells over time, potentially leading to oxidative stress (which is typically linked to heart challenges, low energy levels, cognitive challenges, vision problems, and inflammation).*

Antioxidants work by donating an electron to free radicals, neutralizing and preventing them from causing harm.⁴

While human research is still catching up, ongoing studies on cells and animals suggest that Avocado Oil may have potent antioxidant protective effects at the cellular level:*^5,6

• Head-Brain Health: It may help protect brain cells from oxidative damage, supporting cognitive health and potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative challenges.*
• Heart Health: It may improve blood vessel function, lower bad cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart challenges by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.*⁷
• Gut Health: It may support a healthy gut lining and reduce inflammation, improving digestion and overall gut function.*⁸
