New Zealand blackcurrants are a healthy, natural source of cyclic Glycine-Proline (cGP), a key brain nutrient for cultivating a high-functioning body and mind. Rich with antioxidants, Brain Shield™ delivers powerful support for your cognitive and physical strength. Fire on all cylinders, even as you age.

Brain Shield™
Amplify the Power and Health of Your Brain
Brain Shield™ is the world’s first dietary supplement to safely deliver cyclic Glycine Proline (cGP) to the human body, a vital brain nutrient found in New Zealand blackcurrants in the highest quantities. It works by increasing blood flow and flooding the brain with elevated levels of cGP.
This nutrient has been linked to life-altering effects: faster mental processing, muscle support, delayed ageing of the brain, healthier cognitive function, and more.
Between the ages of 30-40, our brain’s natural production of cGP begins to slow. Brain Shield™ replenishes your brain’s cGP in a powerful formulation with omega-rich flaxseed oil, preserving the vitality of your body and mind.

What is cGP and why is it important?

Cyclic Glycine-Proline regulates an important hormone called Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and increases the elasticity of blood vessels, leading to healthier blood flow throughout the body. cGP is neurotrophic, meaning it’s highly nutritious for the brain.

Your body’s natural production of cGP starts to slow. If the body does not find a way to produce enough, then age-related decline is set into motion and less than favourable health outcomes are likely.

Our industry-leading extraction process ensures that we have captured and preserved the rich potency of New Zealand blackcurrants. The result? A power-packed capsule for greater brain health.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The unique growing conditions of New Zealand include long hot summers and very cold winters, climatic factors that put the blackcurrant plant under mild stress. This leads to the high concentration of their rich nutrients.
- New Zealand blackcurrants have been found to have the highest levels of cGP
- Like Vitamin C, blackcurrant extracts inhibit lipid peroxidation in your body. Experimental studies report about 65% inhibition, thanks to its antioxidant levels. This is highly beneficial for protecting your central nervous system.
- In the absence of this effect, free radicals accumulate in your system. Free radicals are known to trigger neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases.
- The accumulation of free radicals can also lead to inflammation of the brain cells (neurons). Blackcurrants reduce neuro-inflammation because they contain anti-inflammatory molecules. The total effect of these properties can benefit one’s memory, learning, and cognitive abilities
- The cGP molecule was discovered in 2018 by Associate Professor Dr Jian Guan of the Centre for Brain Research at Auckland and there have been several studies showing the benefits of cGP.
- A link between high levels of cGP and its benefits in Parkinsons patients in reducing anxiety and depression has been discovered (Fan et al, Nutrients (2018) 10(6) PMID 29865234) and the ability for cGP to reach high levels in the brain after eating blackcurrant concentrate was demonstrated in the same study. Others have found an increased risk of dementia in Parkinson’s patients with low levels of cGP in their blood compared to those with elevated levels.
- Researchers have found improved brain healing and function in stroke patients with higher levels of cGP compared to patients with low levels.
- Parents of children with Angelman Pitts syndrome, ADHD, dyspraxia and Aspergers, for example, have reported marked improvements in their children's motor function as well as increased calmness and less anxiety.
- "It is a very exciting finding because it is something completely natural that can support your body and mind to stay healthy as you age, it’s unique to see a response like this in a natural product" - Dr Guan, Centre of Brain Research, Auckland University
cGP normalises the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) the bodies main growth and brain function hormone. IGF-1 is essential for the health of the brain signalling pathways.
Its main job is to help brain function and body growth and with the usual levels of cGP/ IGF-1 allows growth in a range of body functions. It is also key for brain health and function.

Low levels of cGP can be found in stroke and Parkinson’s patients and in other neurodegenerative disorders. If you don’t support the cGP levels in the brain, these less than favourable health outcomes become more likely as we age.
