JAKARTA - Spearmint is not only known as an herbal plant with a refreshing aroma, but also has the potential to benefit the brain.
Several contents such as polyphenols and phytonutrients in spearmint are believed to play a role in supporting cognitive function, such as helping to maintain focus, memory, and body fitness.
As attention to brain health and the prevention of cognitive decline increases, spearmint is beginning to be seen as one of the promising natural ingredients.
Oktrianto Wahyu Jatmiko, Director & General Manager of Herbalife Indonesia, explained that spearmint extract contains active compounds that play a role in supporting cognitive function, especially related to focus and memory.
"Spearmint is known to contain natural compounds that can help support focus and memory as part of cognitive function," said Oktrianto Wahyu Jatmiko at the launch of SharpSpearmint in Jakarta, recently.

On that occasion, Dr. Gary Small, M.D., member of the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board, as a speaker highlighted the importance of maintaining cognitive health at every stage of life.
He emphasized that functions such as memory, focus, and mental performance have a major role in supporting quality of life, both in young and old age.
Without adequate attention, cognitive decline can impact daily activities, productivity, and a person's independence.
Dr. Small also explained that SharpSpearmint is formulated using Neumentix™, a patented natural nootropic derived from a specially cultivated spearmint variety and rich in polyphenols.
This content has undergone clinical research and has been proven to help support cognitive performance, including improving focus and memory. He added that the Mentha spicata herbal extract is a natural source of phytonutrients that are recommended to support cognitive function thanks to its polyphenolic content.
"To help prevent cognitive decline, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and balanced nutrition, especially a diet rich in phytonutrients," said Dr. Small.
He noted that polyphenols, one type of phytonutrient, are also found in foods such as berries, green tea, dark chocolate, turmeric, and soy.
"Although memory, focus, and processing speed naturally decline with age, healthy habits including regular exercise, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and mental stimulation can help support long-term brain health and quality of life," he added.
