Brain & Memory Herbal Supplements
Boost your Memory with Herbs
Many factors can contribute to poor memory and brain function: drug interactions,
high blood pressure, anxiety, poor thyroid function, cerebral vascular insufficiency,
various diseases, even brain tumors. Gingko, Gingko/Gotu Kola, CoQ10 and Pycnogenol
all offer the brain and memory nutritional support and help meet the brain`s extraordinary
demand for oxygen.
Julian Whitaker, M.D., claims symptoms such as short-term memory loss, tinnitus
(ringing in the ears), dizziness, headaches, depression and impaired mental performance
may be due to cerebral vascular insufficiency. Gingko may help remedy cerebrovascular
circulation.
Dr. Whitaker states that a deficiency of virtually any individual nutrient can
contribute to impaired mental function. This is supported by a 1998 study of school
children published in The Lancet, a British medical journal. This study demonstrated
that a multivitamin-mineral supplement increased intelligence scores in children
who were not previously malnourished. For a discussion of vitamins and minerals
for children see Herbasaurs - Just 4 Kids at Bhia.org; see vitamins and minerals
for adults. Seek medical advice if you suspect a serious problem.
Want to protect your brain? Brain Protex with Huperzine is designed to provide
your brain with maximum protection against free radical damage. Researchers recently
discovered that huperzine helps improve learning and memory in animals. Similar
improvements were observed when the compound was given to those with Alzheimer`s.
Additional research shows that phosphatidyl serine, a component of this product,
can help improve cognitive measures in people with Alzheimer`s.

Lipofuscin itself has been shown to accumulate in the brain and nerve cells,
killing off neurons by inhibiting dendrite expansion by blocking the flow of vital
nutrients from within nerve cells. Lipofuscin may be related, as a precursor, to
amyloid formations (yet another toxic pigment formed as the residues of failed autoimmune
attacks) found to be inappropriately inhabiting and eventually killing off the neural
cells of Alzheimer`s victims. Lipofuscin age pigment forms especially rapidly in
the dopamine-dependent tracts of the brain, plugging these pathways up and inhibiting
Dopamine to act. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which affects sexuality, locomotion,
mood, tissue growth and repair. Encephalitis lethargica or sleeping sickness, Parkinson`s
Disease and Catatonia in Schizophrenia are known to be correlated with low Dopamine
populations within the brain. Interestingly, Dopamine populations also decline with
age as lipofuscin increases. Thus lipofuscin appears to both directly and indirectly
inhibit Dopamine production and transmission. Dopamine also falls prey to autoxidation,
producing free radicals and hydrogen peroxide which damage dopaminergic nerve receptors.
PARENTHETIC WARNING: Common sense suggests that ingesting hydrogen peroxide
in any form as a supplement of any kind is likely dangerous, therefore, promoting
dopamine receptor damage throughout the Central Nervous System.
Memorin+ also contains Ginkgo Biloba, which also appears to provide protection
from free radical damage, lipid autoxidation and hypoxia (insufficient oxygen),
and increase memory function. Obviously with the formations of these age pigments,
the brain`s chemical messengers are thwarted and cognition is reduced logarithmically
(i.e., increasing rapidly) over time. DMAE and Ginkgo Biloba act to reduce age pigment
formations such as lipofuscin and amyloid, cleaning them out of the system, allowing
neural tissue to remain unencumbered, and Dopamine to be used efficiently. Additionally,
Ginkgo Biloba and OptiZinc? are strong and powerful antioxidants which help keep
Dopamine from being oxidized into hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals which
damage dopamine receptors.
By properly regarding the nutritional requirements of the brain with a strong
complement of Advanced Cerebral homeopathic medicinals, as does Memorin+, the powers
of the brain are naturally and nutritionally protected from age and progressive
loss of concentration, while memory is enhanced and cognitive processing more effectively
heightened, focused and secured.
Memorin+ has also been found useful when complementing a physician`s care for
neural-growth activity of those suffering from impaired memory, or when experiencing
attenuation of neural activity resulting from poor nutrition, cellular deterioration,
insult, trauma or stroke, loss of memory, diminution of senses (smell, sight, hearing),
absent mindedness, forgetfulness and mental lethargy, inattentiveness, cerebral
anemia and senile dementia.
Memorin+ is not to be ingested before retiring, or if one is intending to sleep
within 3 hours after ingestion as Memorin+ will tend to keep you alert.
