Do all of the products work safely together?
Yes, Daily Essentials, Daily Balance, and each of the six products developed to address specific subtypes identified by the ReCODE report have been designed to be safe and effective when consumed daily. They have also been synergistically formulated—which means the ingredients are designed to amplify the effectiveness and potency of other ingredients within the same product family. Note: Always refer to the label for suggested use.

How was the ingredient mix determined and why were they formulated in this way?
Dr. Bredesen’s decades of research led him to understand the key role that certain ingredients play in supporting normal cognitive function. He collaborated with LifeSeasons to develop the ReCODE formulas with the most valuable ingredients for everyday use.
Product Questions
Can I put the Daily Balance drink mix in orange juice or coffee or yogurt?
Both of the Daily Balance formulas suggest that you pour one stick pack into 8 oz of water and stir well. Morning Balance can be taken in the morning with coffee, applesauce, yogurt, or a meal. Fruit juice is not recommended on the Bredesen Protocol due to the concentrated sugar content. Evening Balance should be taken one hour prior to bed. The Bredesen Protocol recommends not eating within three hours of bedtime, so Evening Balance should only be taken with water.
Should I take Daily Essentials pills in the morning and evening, or take them all in the morning, and should I take them on an empty stomach?
Daily Essentials can all be taken with breakfast, and even along with Daily Morning Balance. You may choose to divide the Daily Essentials pills and take them with breakfast and lunch as well. It’s important to take Daily Essentials with food. Some nutrients can be stimulating, and it is recommended not to take it in the evening. Feel free to personalize the timing to best address your needs.
Dale Bredesen, MD, has researched and recommended L-Citrulline. Why wasn’t it used in the ReCODE products?
L-Citrulline is a potent nitric oxide booster. However, the volume of L-Citrulline needed to get the desired effect is extremely high, so we’ve worked with Dr. Bredesen to identify and secure similar or superior ingredients. Alternative nitric oxide boosters, including beetroot, ginger, and vitamin C, were added to the formulations to achieve the same or better results.
Why was ubiquinone used in the products instead of ubiquinol?
Both ubiquinone and ubiquinol are effective isomers of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation. Hundreds of scientific studies have shown that ubiquinone promotes energy production and neutralizes free radicals.
Dale Bredesen, MD, has researched and recommended MCT oil. Why wasn’t it used in the ReCODE products?
A number of health benefits have been attributed to medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, and Dr. Bredesen is a proponent of it. However, when he worked with our product formulators, they determined potassium caprylate would be a better ingredient to use in the ReCODE supplements. Potassium caprylate is more stable, and a higher-density form of MCT than MCT oil.
Dale Bredesen, MD, has researched and recommended Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis and Bifidobacterium lactis. Why weren’t these probiotics used in the ReCODE products?
Although Dr. Bredesen has recommended Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis and Bifidobacterium lactis in the past, he and our product formulators chose to use Lactobacillus helveticus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bifidobacterium breve instead. These three probiotic strains provide similar or superior gut health benefits and have consistently proven to have a stronger stability profile. Shelf-stable ingredients help to protect the potency and integrity of the ReCODE supplements.
