What is CognatIQ?

CognatIQ is a supplement supplement available in 1 form.

Not all forms of CognatIQ are equal. The form you choose determines how much CognatIQ actually reaches your tissues, and the difference between the best and worst forms can be substantial. CognatIQ is a clinically studied whole coffee fruit extract (WCFE) standardized for neuroactive polyphenols including chlorogenic acids and procyanidins from the coffee cherry. Research suggests it supports healthy Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) levels, promoting neuroplasticity and cognitive function with a unique phytonutrient profile not available in standard coffee or caffeine supplements.
