DESCRIPTION

Supporting brain function becomes even more important as we

age. This Brain Health Support formula is designed to support

mental function and retard the cognitive decline associated

with the aging process.

FUNCTIONS

The brain is one of the most energy-consumptive organs in the

body – consuming 25% of the body’s energy. It is estimated

that the cerebral cortex (the largest part) is estimated to

contain 15–33 billion neurons, each connected by synapses to

several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate

with one another and carry signal pulses to distant parts of the

brain or body targeting specific recipient cells. To support this

neural activity, the brain relies on a steady stream of nutrients.

These nutrients not only facilitate neuronal function but also

play a structural role in the makeup of the brain itself.

Compounds like the essential fatty acid, docosahexaenoic

acid (DHA), and phosphatidylserine are found in high

concentrations in the brain. Acetyl L-carnitine and choline

provide precursors to important neurotransmitters, like

acetylcholine, which facilitates memory consolidation. Inositol

is included because of its role in maintaining “membrane

potential,” which is the mechanism by which nerve impulses

are transmitted. Brain Health Support ensures an adequate

intake of these essential nutrients in a two-capsule dose.

Additionally, ginkgo biloba is incorporated into the formula

because of its possible effect on supporting cognitive function

by modulating neurochemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and

norepinephrine. The ginkgo biloba extract found in Brain

Health Support is manufactured under strict quality control

standards. Like all European herbal extracts, the extraction is

regulated according to quality standards that exceed regulatory

standards in the U.S. Along with flavone glycosides and

terpene lactones, our ginkgo provides 0.8% ginkgolide B and

other ginkgolide and bilobalide constituents.

INDICATIONS

Brain Health Support may be a useful dietary supplement

for those who may not be getting adequate levels of these

nutrients or wish to help support healthy cognitive function.
