Research & Patents

What are the ingredients inside Percepta brain supplements, and where do they come from?

Percepta consists of just two plant-based ingredients: patented PTI-00703® cat's claw, sourced from the Amazon rainforest, and MemorTea®, a specific oolong tea extract. MemorTea® is produced and harvested from the Guan Yin mountains and is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, while also naturally containing 38.26 mg of caffeine, theophylline, theobromine, and L-Theanine.

How quickly do the active ingredients in Percepta brain supplements reach the brain?

The mechanism of action involves powerful polyphenols and active proanthocyanidins that enter the brain within minutes of being in the blood, where they are believed to interact with brain plaques and tangles directly — causing their reduction and clearance. This rapid absorption is a key differentiator from many other brain supplements that lack evidence of crossing the blood-brain barrier effectively.

Who invented Percepta®

Percepta was developed by Dr. Alan Snow and his research teams, initially at the University of Washington. Dr. Snow spent years screening different sources of cat's claw from the Amazon rainforest to identify extracts with potent activity in laboratory models studying brain plaques and tangles. The research collaboration has included work with Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, a leading Alzheimer's researcher.

What does the Percepta® research show?

Two major peer-reviewed studies published in Scientific Reports (a Nature journal) document Percepta's research:

The 2019 study by Snow et al. demonstrated in vitro and in animal models that Uncaria tomentosa (cat's claw) and its specific proanthocyanidin constituents showed inhibitory and reducing activity against both brain plaques and tangles. The research used multiple laboratory models designed to replicate conditions associated with aging brains.

The 2021 comparison study by Snow et al. evaluated major memory-support dietary supplements in vitro for their activity in relation to beta-amyloid protein fibrils and tau protein tangles. Percepta's ingredients demonstrated notable activity compared to other widely marketed brain health supplements in these laboratory assays.

What is Percepta and why is it different?

Percepta® is a plant-based dietary supplement consisting of just two ingredients: patented PTI-00703® Cat's claw and MemorTea®, a specific oolong tea extract. Unlike most brain supplements that contain dozens of ingredients in small amounts, Percepta uses a focused formula. Its main ingredient, PTI-00703® Cat's claw, is backed by over 30 issued patents and decades of scientific research. Percepta and its individual ingredients have been tested in laboratory models for specific targeting of brain plaques and tangles – protein structures that accumulate in the brain and are associated with memory decline.
