Memoractiv

Aging can be associated with structural changes to the brain resulting from detrimental causes such as free radical damage, nutrient deficiencies, unwise lifestyle choices (such as smoking), and emotional stress. For many people, these structural changes cause a slow, progressive decline in higher brain functions such as memory, concentrations, and verbal ability. To protect the brain from these changes, providing nutrition which promotes structural integrity and optimizes cognitive functioning is a prudent course of action. Memoractiv provides a nutritional approach to potentially enhance functions of the aging brain.

There are several ingredients aiding to the potential benefits of Memoractiv.
Ginkgo biloba in Memoractiv is provided as a Ginkgo phytosome– Ginkgo bound to phosphatidylserine. A double-blind trial demonstrated greater cognitive support from Ginkgo-phosphatidylserine complex than with the same amount of Ginkgo in a standardized extract or Ginkgo bound to phosphatidylcholine. Ginkgo promotes mental alertness, reaction time, memory, and cognition. Double-blind trials of phosphatidylserine have shown enhanced learning and recall capabilities in older and middle-aged subjects with cognitive decline related to aging. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) helps support cognitive health. In one double-blind trial conducted with subjects with cognitive decline, ALC taken daily for three months enhanced memory, visuo-spatial capacity, and vocabulary recall. In controlled trials, an Ayurvedic herb, Bacopa monnieri, is neuroprotective and has been shown to support memory and learning. Vinpocetine supports cerebral circulation and oxygen utilization, which can result in improved cognitive function. In double-blind trials conducted with subjects experiencing cognitive decline, vinpocetine benefited speech, language, memory, learning, and other measures of cognitive performance.
