Hi I've just been watching a series of episodes on Alzheimer's and came across the following article which claims Whole Coffee Fruit Concentrate increases BDNF by up to 143%. Has anyone heard of this or know where I can source it? I've tried iHerb, Amazon, eBay, and a general google search.

Don't know if this will come through but this was the episode link I watched.
It is one of the components of Designs for Health “Brain Vitale.” Info on stack here

I have not seen it elsewhere. But I am sure Google is your friend. Why not ask 🤗
Thanks. Just looked and its currently unavailable, but this product has only 1/12th Coffee Fruit Concentrate
I watched the same series, always impressed with Dr Perlmutter and his teachings. I have been looking into the coffee fruit concentrate and I think it depends on how you phrase the search. Coffee fruit concentrate or coffee berry are two options. I may try this in the near future since I know I have some dementia.

Have bought the Amazon Hawaii one but still not sure that its the right one. Many thanks.
I’m going to look into the Futureceuticals one next week. It’s the same site as coffeeberry.com.

Thanks Reedboat2. Looked at the ingredients and I'm not sure its the coffee fruit concentrate.
Green coffee is not the same thing. When the coffee fruit is ripe it is harvested and the flesh is discard and the seed is what we know as the coffee bean. Turns out the flesh they have been throwing away is valuable for brain health because increases Brain-derived neurotrophic factor which is a protein that forms new neuro pathways.
I was about to start researching this but the reference to Perlmutter is enough to persuade me to walk the dogs instead
He maybe interested in it but it really is worth investigating.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a pleiotropic protein member of the neurotrophic factor family with effects on the central nervous system as well as the endocrine and immune systems. BDNF favors the survival of existing neurons, and promotes the growth and differentiation of new ones.
I’ve been eying up this new brain supplement called ultrabrain by Ari Whitten. I always listen to his podcasts and he has some very interesting speakers and I find him very informative and credible. This has coffee fruit in it amongst many other things but it is expensive. (I've started a new post with information on his program so as not to overwhelm this one on coffee fruit).
I've finally found a supplier of Coffee Cherry at an excellent price.
