Is this a source of bdnf?

Hi, Coffee fruit is a red fruit that surrounds coffee beans while they grow on the plant. Research suggests that coffee fruit extract is one of the most powerful supplements to boost your levels of BDNF. One study published in the journal Food and Nutrition Sciences, found that 100 mg of coffee fruit extract increased the levels of BDNF in blood by almost 200% within 60 minutes of consumption. https://file.scirp.org/pdf/FNS_2013083011411606.pdf That’s a massive increase in BDNF to say the least. Another study echoed these findings and discovered that those who consumed coffee fruit extract experienced a 143% increase in their blood values of BDNF. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23312069/ The concentration of our Cascara fruit is 1 to 6, so one scoop of 1 tsp 4g = 24g of the raw cascara fruit. Please note that we have not conducted these studies, just reporting the studies, Thank you for your interest

Cascara is known to mold very easily. What safety precautions do you take to ensure a mold-free product?

Hi, Thank you for bringing this question. It is important to take safety precautions to ensure a mold-free product. To ensure a mold-free product, we take a number of precautions when processing cascara. We start by selecting only fresh cascara, which we then thoroughly wash before putting it into production. We also have our batches analyzed by a third party for quality assurance. In addition to these steps, we follow proper storage and handling procedures, including keeping the cascara in a dry, well-ventilated area and storing it at the appropriate temperature to prevent moisture accumulation. Once the cascara powder has been produced and checked for quality, we carefully package it in sealed containers to ensure its freshness and prevent any potential contamination. We are confident in the measures we have put in place to prevent mold growth on our cascara powder, and we hope this information provides reassurance to our customers. Thank you for your question and interest in our products. We appreciate and are glad to have the opportunity to answer your questions and provide information about what we do. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to help. Thank you again for your interest.

It’s widely known cascara contains caffeine (25-30mg/c+) caffeine.how & why do you state its caffeine free? is this lab tested?

Cascara, the dried fruit of the coffee plant, does contain caffeine. The amount of caffeine present in cascara can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the species of coffee plant, the processing method, and the brewing method. As you mentioned, some sources indicate that a typical cup of cascara tea may contain anywhere from 25-30mg of caffeine per serving. However, our cascara powder is processed in a way that removes the caffeine. During the manufacturing process, the caffeine is removed through a water-based extraction method that uses no chemicals or solvents. This leaves us with a caffeine-free product that still contains the natural flavor and nutrients of the cascara fruit. As for your question regarding lab testing, we will be conducting a third-party lab analysis on our cascara powder to confirm its caffeine content. We will make the results available as soon as we receive them. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.
