A State-of-the-art Approach to Mood Enhancement | Home | About IME-12 | FAQs | Reviews | Clinical Data | Modern Science reveals that few foods are as complex in form and function as cocoa.  Among the many components, scientists have now identified previously unreported aldimine compounds in cocoa that support a balanced mood, enhance energy, and increase motivation. It is believed by some scientists that the concentration of aldimines is so low and their metabolism so rapid that any effects are minimal. However, we have produced a proprietary cocoa concentrate with significantly higher levels of aldimines than those found in cocoa powder. The benefits of these aldimines can be extended through a special blend of vitamins, minerals, almond and cocoa constituents, bioflavonoids and natural fruit enzymes. Take the edge off the occasional blue day with IME-12.  DeNovo-7 offers IME-12 as an innovative approach to mood, energy, and motivation. Unlike most competing products that can take weeks to be effective, IME-12 generally produduces benefits within one to three days. Adults take up to 1.5 grams three times daily. Increases Motivation Under-activity in the Basal Ganglia of the brain is associated with ADD and decreased motivation. Hyperactivity in the Deep Thalamus/Limbic area of the brain is also associated with decreased motivation. SPECT brain scans following supplementation with IME-12 show increased activity in the Basal Ganglia and decreased activity in the Deep Thalamus/Limbic area. Increased activity in the basal ganglia combined with decreased activity in the Deep Thalamus/Limbic area results in increased motivation. Reduces Anxiety and Worry Hyperactivity in the Anterior Cingulate area of the brain is associated with worry, obsession, compulsivity, addiction, inflexibility etc.  SPECT brain scans following supplementation with IME-12 show down regulation of activity in the anterior cingulate. The overall effect is to reduce anxiety and worry. Up to 70% Effective Clinical trials have shown IME-12 to be up to 70% effective in elevating mood, reducing anxiety and worry, increasing motivation, and boosting energy. Boosts Energy Among the symptoms of hyperactivity in the Deep Thalamus/Limbic area of the brain is low energy. SPECT brain scans following supplementation with IME-12 show decreased activity in the Deep Thalamus/Limbic area. One of the results of decreasing the activity in this area of the brain is increased energy. Elevates Mood IME-12 works by decreasing the activity in the Anterior Cingulate area of the brain, increasing the activity of the Basal Ganglia, and decreasing the activity of the Deep Thalamus/Limbic area. This results in  increased energy, increased motivation, decreased anger and irritability, improved sleep, decreased worrying, obsession and compulsivity as well as other benefits. The overall result of these effects is to Elevate Mood, resulting in a happier, more productive individual.
