| Phosphatidylserine:
According to Thomas H. Crook, PhD, world-renowned cognition researched
at the Memory Assessment Clinics in Bethesda, "the brain nutrient phosphatidylserine
(PS) may provide the missing link for Alzheimer's patients and for those at risk for
AD." Like vitamin E, PS is a present in all the brain's cells. but while E helps
protect against free radical damage, PS actually participates in renewal of the nerve cell
networks, giving them renewed vigor. Another soy-derived substance, research has shown
that PS dramatically improves age-related cognitive decline, partially reverses memory
loss, and boosts learning and concentration. Phosphatidylserine is a cousin to
phoshatidycholine, a familiar brain supplement that provides the brain with material for
the neurotransmitter, acethtcholine. Alzheimer's is associated with decreased levels of
acetylcholine. Unfortunately, choline supplementation has little effect on the disease. |
| Acetyl-L-carnitine:
However, acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), a special form of the amino acid
carnitine which accelerates the formation of acetylcholine, has a particular ability to
optimize brain function. Several studies have shown that ALC slows cognitive deterioration
in people with AD. In a year long Italian study, participants taking 2000 mg of ALC daily
retained significantly more memory, logic, verbal skills, and ability to attend than
controls. |
| Ginko
Biloba extract is the most commonly prescribed plant remedy in the world.
Known by many names "Smart Pill" and "Brain Preserver", because of its
ability to improve blood flow to the brain and to improve memory. Ginko Biloba is also one
of the most popular dietary supplements in the U.S. Of the over 1,000 existing studies,
many indicate that the leaves of this ancient tree anti-aging effects throughout the body.
In 1997, several studies documented the ability of ginkgo to improve memory in healthy
people and in those with neurological disease. In one of these, published in JAMA,
researchers Pierre L. LeBars, MD, PhD, and his colleagues reported that the ginkgo extract
can slow the progression of Alzheimer's and of senility caused by strokes. |
