Herbals - BotanicalsCantaloupe Extract has been shown to increase water retention in the skin making the skin appear younger. We include it in our anti-aging skin care products. Gingko Biloba is a powerful antioxidant. Gingko Biloba, a readily available natural product, has been the focus of recent media reports as a potential treatment for Alzheimer`s disease. Scientists examined how taking 120 mg a day of a Gingko Biloba extract affected the rate of cognitive decline in people with mild to moderately severe dementia due to Alzheimer`s disease and vascular dementia. At the end of the study, they reported a small treatment difference in people given the Gingko Biloba extract. Gotu Kola a botanical herb that can support brain function and enhance attention and focus. Grape Seed Extract helps protect cells from free radical damage while promoting healthy circulation. It is rich in Polyphenols, a beneficial compound, high in antioxidants that helps to improve circulation. Green Tea Extract is a bioflavonoid extract used primarily for fighting free radicals. It contains a high content of polyphenols, which are a class of bioflavonoids. Green Tea Extract contains a potent antioxidant, EGCG, which is over 200 times more powerful than Vitamin E in neutralizing the pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack lipids in the brain. Lycopene is responsible for the red color in tomato, grapefruit, watermelon and guava. Substantial research has documented Lycopene`s potent antioxidant abilities, especially its ability to reduce lipid peroxidation, suggesting a decreased risk of Cardiovascular Disease. Lycopene`s antioxidant abilities are currently being evaluated for its possible protective role in cancer prevention, especially cervical, prostate, pancreatic and stomach cancers. Pine Bark Extract has been shown to be a very powerful antioxidant that is even more powerful than either Vitamin C or Vitamin E. Vitamin B 12 and MemoryLow B12 Linked with Poor Memory in People with High-Risk Genotype for Alzheimer`s Among healthy people over the age of 75 who have the genotype associated with higher risk for Alzheimer`s, low levels of vitamin B12 are associated with significantly worse performance on memory tests. This finding is published in the April issue of Neuropsychology, which is published by the American Psychological Association (APA). David Bunce, PhD, a psychologist at Goldsmith`s College, University of London, Miia Kivipelto, PhD, MD, of the Aging Research Center at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and the Stockholm Gerontology Research Center, and ?ke Wahlin, PhD, a psychologist at the University of Stockholm, conducted the study as part of a long-term multidisciplinary project that follows older people living in Stockholm`s Kungsholmen parish. Scientists already knew of a genetic predis position for Alzheimer`s disease, and that low levels of two B vitamins- B12 and folate-were also linked to problems. However, few had examined nutrition and genotype together relative to cognition, to reflect what real people carry into old age - a mix of inborn traits and environmental factors such as nutrition, including undiagnosed vitamin B deficiencies. The apolipoprotein E gene, which moves cholesterol in the body, has a version called the ?4 allele. Carried by perhaps 15 percent of the population, it is a risk factor for dementia. Current data collected over a six-year period suggests that nearly one out of four carriers with one copy of this allele and nearly half carrying two copies will develop Alzheimer`s disease. Non-carriers also can get Alzheimer`s. Carriers of the ?4 allele have smaller hippocampi, brain areas associated with memory, so the researchers wanted to measure how an additional physiological shortfall such as low Vitamin B, affected this particular group -- given that reduced B 12 and folate have been linked generally with diminished memory and increased risk for Alzheimer`s. Perhaps 10 percent of adults aged 75 years and older have low B12 or folate. Project index
