Alpinia Galanga a new, natural alternative to caffeine, for increased concentration with beneficial effects on health.

Looking at a tough task? Swanson Focused Attention offers clinically proven enXtra®, a new, natural caffeine alternative for increased alertness and sustained attention and focus. This premier nootropic ingredient has long been prized in Asian cultures for its ability to act as a tonic. Made from responsibly sourced Alpinia galanga that is grown without pesticides, you can enjoy this modern form in capsules that are easy to take anywhere.

Attention and concentration can be influenced by stress, mood and external factors. To combat them, Focused Attention with enXtra supports a cognitive process known as "Attention Network Function", which is the brain's ability to allocate processing resources to a specific task. The system plays a critical role in mental alertness and the ability to focus on a task.

Whether you're at work or at play, Focused Attention helps you stay productive and active so you can power through any tough task. This caffeine-free, stimulant-free alternative helps you avoid the negative effects of caffeine and sugar. However, it can be safely combined with caffeine for increased benefits.

It looks like ginger, acts like turmeric, fights cancer and can keep the brain healthy. It's galangal (Alpinia galanga), an Asian root used in Thai cuisine that fights eight types of cancer and reduces chronic inflammation.


 

Cancer fighting agent.

 

• gastric cancer. A 2014 study in Iran found that galangal extract destroyed a significant number of gastric cancer cells in a laboratory test after 48 hours.
• leukemia. Acute monocytic cells, specific for rapid leukemia that starts in the bone marrow, were exposed to galangal extract. Researchers in Jamaica have suggested that this extract could be a potential cure for this form of leukemia.
• melanoma. Researchers at the National Chiayi University in Taiwan studied the impact of three compounds from galangal extract on human melanoma (skin cancer) cells. All three compounds had an antiproliferative effect, meaning they stopped the growth of new cancer cells.
• pancreatic cancer. A study released in 2017 tested the impact of galangal on pancreatic cancer cells, finding that it stopped the growth of new cells and suppressed the gene pathways responsible for the spread of the disease.
• colon cancer. The first effect of galangal was studied against colon cancer cells (in 2013), and scientists found that it caused apoptosis (cell death) of two types of colon cancer cells.
• breast cancer. In 2014, an Iranian university found that galangal extract stopped the growth of breast cancer but did not affect healthy breast cells.
• liver cancer. One of the reasons cancer is so devastating is the way it spreads, or metastasizes, to organs other than where the cancer originated. This is especially true for liver cancer. A 2015 study in Taiwan investigating the impact of compounds extracted from galangal on HepG2 cells (a type of liver cancer) found that these natural compounds decreased the incidence of metastasis by stopping cancer cells from attaching to other healthy cells.
• cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). This particular form of cancer is an aggressive cancer that infects the bile ducts that connect the liver to the small intestine. Galangal extract, in a 2017 study in Thailand, provided a longer lifespan, resulted in a lower incidence of metastases, and produced no noticeable side effects in the subjects.

 

It acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Inflammation is at the root of most diseases. This means that chronic inflammation is linked to the development of a large number of diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and more. Galangal extract exerts an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. There is a cytokine (cell signaling protein) found in the human body known as tumor necrosis factor alpha or TNF-alpha that regulates the immune response. This protein is the subject of much research because TNF-alpha, if overstimulated, can cause damaging damage and contribute to fatal diseases with chronic inflammation. A phytonutrient found in galangal suppresses TNF-alpha activity and can therefore help reduce inflammation in the body.


 

Maintain good brain health.

ACA, a compound in this alpinia galanga extract, may have a protective effect on the brain, reducing some forms of age-related cognitive degeneration. By regulating TNF-alpha, galangal can help fight depression. Chronic inflammation and overreaction of TNF-alpha is a recently studied facet in relation to depression.
