Submitted Protocols
Quercetin Bioflavonoid for Uric Acid Suppression & Vascular Tone
Verified Public Record: "Quercetin acts as a natural botanical modulator of xanthine oxidase, helping maintain serum uric acid below 5.5 mg/dL to protect cerebral blood vessels and clear neuro-inflammatory brain fog." — Dr. David Perlmutter (Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid, Chapter 6: Lowering Uric Acid with Quercetin and Luteolin, p. 145 (2022))
Curcumin Brain Bioavailability Protocol for Microglial Quenching
Verified Public Record: "Bioavailable curcumin crosses the blood-brain barrier to activate Nrf2 antioxidant pathways, calm hyper-reactive microglial cells, and upregulate Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)." — Dr. David Perlmutter (Grain Brain & Brain Maker, Chapter 10: Epigenetic Neuroprotection with Curcumin & DHA, p. 212 (2013))
Standardized Ginkgo Flavone Glycosides for Cerebral Capillary Flow
Verified Public Record: "Standardized Ginkgo biloba leaf extract delivers flavone glycosides and terpene lactones that promote cerebral microcapillary perfusion and shield neuronal membranes from oxidative free radicals." — Dr. David Perlmutter (The Better Brain Book, Chapter 9: Brain-Boosting Botanicals - Ginkgo Biloba, p. 188 (2004))

Ketone Neuro-Support & Uric Acid Modulation Protocol
Lowering dietary fructose and refined purines to keep serum uric acid strictly below 5.5 mg/dL while elevating circulating beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) to provide alternative mitochondrial fuel for cerebral neurons.

Primary Citation: Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar - Your Brain's Silent Killers (2013).
