Advanced Memory Formula

Learning ability and memory impairment does not necessarily correspond with normal aging. Vulnerability to age-related cognitive decline varies broadly among individuals. A large number of scientific studies point out that age-related cognitive decline may be prevented or alleviated.

Suntamins' "Advanced Memory Formula" contains a balanced combination of nutraceuticals that support healthy metabolism of the human brain.

Piracetam is well recognized in Europe as a modifying agent for brain function, and is actually capable in improving memory and cognition. It was also found to delay brain aging, improve blood flow and oxygenation of the brain, accelerate recovery after a stroke, as well as aid in improving the health of those suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

The Acetyl part of Acetyl-L-Carnitine molecule is used to synthesize the neurotransmitter Acetyl Choline. Anomalous metabolism of Acetyl Choline in the brain was found to be linked to dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found that the supplementation of Acetyl-L-Carnitine improves cognitive function and increases energy manufacture in cells. Acetyl-L-Carnitine was shown to help enhance cognition, improve mental impairment and attention in the elderly, and reduce the severity of depression symptoms.

Choline is a precursor for Acetyl Choline, which is an important neurotransmitter involved in memory, muscle control and other important functions. Nutritional scientists believe that by increasing the quantity of choline, more of the neurotransmitter Acetyl Choline may be produced, and age-related cognitive decline should slow down as a result. Choline is used in the production of important biochemical compounds responsible for proper cell communication, including the central nervous system (brain) cells.

Alpha Lipoic acid was discovered to have anti-oxidant activity as well as be able to salvage other antioxidants and enhance energy production in cells by increasing ATP production. Particularly, Alpha Lipoic acid was found to defend against atherosclerosis and ischemic injuries. There is some evidence that it may be useful for neurodegenerative conditions of the central nervous system. Specifically, Alpha Lipoic acid may slow down aging of the brain and express anti-aging properties in general.

Alpha Lipoic acid promotes the growth of neurons, which are cells of the nervous system. Studies have shown that when Alpha Lipoic acid is administered for three months, it improves the blood flow in the nervous system by reducing vascular resistance. Velocity of the nerve conduction showed improvement and even restoration in some areas of the nervous system.

DMAE is an enhancer of Acetyl Choline synthesis in the brain. Nutritional science experts believe that DMAE can improve alertness and focus, and therefore be helpful for aging people with mental decline. DMAE is used as a cognition enhancer in the elderly in Europe, Japan, Australia and South America.

Vinpocetine has been revealed to be a brain metabolic enhancer and an astute cerebral vasodilator. Vinpocetine has been shown to enhance oxygen and glucose production of the brain cells, and boost ATP bio-energy production even under low oxygen circumstances. It has also been shown to diminish cell death that usually occurs when a brain region is temporarily, but sternly, deprived of blood flow.

A randomized, placebo-controlled trial showed that folic acid considerably improves cognitive performance in aging adults - particularly, as it relates to memory and information processing.

Japanese scientists have identified a form of B-12 (Methylcobalamin) that protects against neurological diseases and aging. Published studies indicate that Methylcobalamin is needed to regenerate nervous system cells, as well as the myelin sheath that protects peripheral nerves.
