Overview

Natrol Cognium features CERA-Q (silk protein hydrolysate), a unique brain health ingredient derived from silk fibroin. CERA-Q has been shown in clinical studies to improve memory recall, reduce brain fog, and support cognitive function in as little as 3 weeks. The mechanism involves protecting brain cells from oxidative damage and supporting the clearance of amyloid plaques. Natrol is best known for their melatonin products but has expanded into cognitive health with Cognium as their flagship brain supplement.
