FEAR NOT,
Supplements Enhance Brain Function
This claimed wonder compound is derived from the Brahmi plant and
has been trademarked as Bacopin™. It is used in Ayurvedic medicine
to improve intellectual function, enhance memory, reduce
stress-induced anxiety and increase concentration. Recently a
well-designed placebo-controlled study in healthy adults found that
Bacopin™ produced significant improvements in learning rate, state
of anxiety, memory consolidation and visual information processing
speed." Amazingly, it has been used in India for more than 3000
years.
The quality of
the mind is at the core of the quality of life. Perhaps the most
important asset we possess and wish to possess as we advance in age,
is our mind. If research in the United States isn’t enough, we need
look across the Atlantic Ocean to Germany and France where Ginkgo
Biloba is a registered drug for the treatment of brain disorders.
Or, look to India where their governments’ Central Drug Research
Institute has shown Bacopin to improve short and long-term memory
and to enhance overall cognitive results. One Life has effectively
combined these two powerful ingredients into one formula:
Memory Boost.
There is no known
cure for Alzheimer’s ….be proactive and protect yourself. Spending a
few dollars now may save you tens of thousands on nursing care
later. Prevention is always the preferred method.
Another group of compounds has recently received a good bit of
attention when it comes to brain health: Essential Fatty Acids. Two
important studies (The Rotterdam Study and The Bordeaux
Study) have shown that a high intake of fish (those rich in
omega 3 fatty acids) slows and may prevent the development of
dementia, especially Alzheimer’s dementia. Dr. Morten Bryhn of
Norway, considered one of the leading experts in the field of
medicine which focuses on the link between diet and disease sees a
clear connection between the intake of essential fatty acids and
brain health.
See One Life’s
Something Smells Fishy for 500 mg of pure salmon oil per
gel cap; an excellent source of Essential Fatty Acids. "With the
latest mercury warnings concerning eating fish, people, in record
numbers, are turning to supplements for their omega-3’s." |
