Dorwest launches product to support normal brain function

Herbal pet care specialist Dorwest Herbs has launched a cognitive support supplement that helps to keep pet’s minds agile by promoting normal brain and mental function.

BrainCopa, which launches on 1 August, has a range of scientifically proven natural ingredients, including Bacopa and DHA powder that provide targeted multi-action support.

Ingredients include:

• Bacopa monnieri – Long used in Ayurvedic medicine as a ‘brain tonic’, Bacopa is a powerful antioxidant which supports the central nervous system, memory, and cognitivefunction. It can also help maintain a normal inflammatory state in the brain.
• DHA powder – Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is vital for brain development and ongoing brain function. It has been shown to support cognitive function in older dogs and is well-tolerated and readily absorbed.
• Calming herb lemon balm is traditionally used to aid those with sleep disturbances.
• Ginkgo biloba is rich in anti-oxidants and has been found to help minimise the impact of disorientation, support sleep, and behavioural changes.
• Vitamin E is recognised as a powerful antioxidant, helping to support optimal memory, and aids DHA uptake in the brain.

The trial for BrainCopa Tablets took place in February 2023 and resulted in improvements in 43% of participants within three weeks of starting the tablets at the recommended daily dose. In addition, 90% of participants saw improvements in cognitive decline symptoms within the recommended four weeks.
