Grape Seed Extract contains a large amount of important plant flavonoids (proanthocyanidins) which are powerful antioxidants.  These can cross the blood-brain barrier and help protect brain cells from a variety of free radical damages.  
    
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that can also cross the blood-brain barrier.  Once inside the brain, this important amino functions as fuel for the brain.  L-Glutamine has been credited with enhancing mood, mental alertness, and clarity of thinking.

DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) occurs naturally in small amounts in the brain and can also be found in certain seafood.  Research shows that DMAE has positive effects on brain function and can actually improve intelligence, learning ability, memory, and mood.  It is often promoted as a natural replacement for Ritalin because it is safe and effective for children suffering from conditions such as ADD.
