Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a species of microalgae that was discovered in 1897. Recent preclinical trials have shown that it supports cognitive performance, slows memory loss and reduces oxidative stress in the brain. 

This episode is a first in that it coincides with the release of a new Mitolife product called Encephalon, a combination of this algae extract with Gingko biloba and phosphatidylserine (PS). Gingko and PS have been proven in clinical studies to potentiate each others effects. I figured why not amp it up with this really unique algae rich in fucoxanthin?

Vincent Usache, CEO of MicroPhyt, joins us from France to talk about this algae and its "main active ingredient" called fucoxanthin. We focus the discussion on how it can help prevent lipid peroxidation, calcification, and fibrosis and provide overall brain support in times of increased stress.
