Memory Loss

With aging and attacks from different free radicals in life, brain neural cells gradually shrink and nerve myelin continuously decreases, causing damage to nerve message transmission and affecting memory and cognitive function. 

Another cause of brain degeneration is poor blood circulation, which leads to insufficient transport of nutrients to the needed cells, resulting in shrinkage of brain neurons.

Free radical attack on brain cells results in memory loss. 

Recent studies discovered that antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, E, may reverse some of the symptoms of aging (such as memory loss).

Omega-3 is important for our brain throughout life, from early cognitive development in foetuses to learning and memory in adults. 

Brain cells with high levels of omega-3 in their membranes are thought to be better at communicating with other cells, an important process for brain function.

Research suggests that Cistanche tubulosa may help support communication between brain cells by maintaining levels of important brain chemicals. 

It helps protect and nourish the brain by supporting optimal blood flow. 

It also serves as an antioxidant, helping to protect against cell damage, including damage to the brain cells.

Ginkgo biloba is also well known for helping to support brain health and can help to improve blood flow to protect and nourish the brain.

As we get older, our brains lose neurons, the cells that send electrical impulses to and from the brain. Researchers found that B vitamins can slow down how fast we lose these brain cells.
