What is Sirtmax^®?

Kaempferia parviflora is found in the upper Northeastern regions of Thailand. Root extracts have a long history of use and a reputation for being a health tonic and energy enhancer (i.e., Thai ginseng). The novel active constituents are a special type of polyphenol called polymethoxyflavonoids. Sirtmax^® Kaempferia parviflora root extract is standardized for polymethoxyflavonoid content.*

Neurohacker’s Sirtmax^® Sourcing

Sirtmax^® has been used in animal and human research studies.

Created by Tokiwa Phytochemicals, a leader in standardized Kaempferia parviflora supplementation. 

Highest concentration, full-spectrum root extract, with triple standardization for 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (≥ 4%), 3, 5, 7, 3', 4'-pentamethoxyflavone (≥ 3.5%), and total polymethoxyflavonoids (≥ 15%).

Grown in Thailand & Laos.

Sirtmax^® Formulating Principles and Rationale

We consider Kaempferia parviflora to be in the adaptogenic herb category; following hormetic dosing principles (see Neurohacker Dosing Principles) with a high likelihood of having a hormetic range (i.e., a serving range below and above which results could be poorer). We have selected a serving that is within the studied range in humans.*
