Pure Encapsulations FocusPlus (formerly DopaPlus)
Promotes mental function and sharpness
FocusPlus was developed by Pure Encapsulations in conjunction with Dr. James Greenblatt as part of the Integrative Mental Health Series, a line of products based on scientific findings and decades of clinical experience. FocusPlus is formulated to promote daily cognitive functioning, including focus, stamina, memory and attention. It provides rhodiola, which also relieves symptoms of stress, such as mental fatigue and sensation of weakness. Also critical to each formulation in the Integrative Mental Health Series is the inclusion of a vitamin B6, zinc and Metafolin L-5-MTHF cofactor complex to enhance nutrient metabolism; L-5-MTHF is the form of folate that easily crosses the blood–brain barrier. Folate and vitamin B6 are particularly important in amino acid metabolism, including the metabolism of tyrosine.
