Promotes neuritogenesis*
The mushroom known as Lion’s Mane possesses valuable neuro-regenerative effects.* A 2014 study concluded, “hericenone E potentiated NGF-induced neuritogenesis in PC12 cells via the MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways.” What this means is that the active ingredient in Lion’s Mane promotes the growth of nerve cells in the brain.*
Preserves neurons*
Vitamin B12 helps to preserve neurons, and to increase myelin production, red blood cells, healthy DNA replication, and energy metabolism.*
This nutrient also might be useful for individuals with intestinal permeability dysfunction.* Vitamin B12 also helps maintain the brain’s physical integrity by helping to minimize the loss of brain volume, especially in the elderly.*
Raises acetylcholine levels*
Synapsa’s patented brand of Bacopa monnieri
exerts a strong protective effect on the brain because it inhibits the production of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine.*
Excessive acetylcholine breakdown can be damaging since it is a 'memory' neurotransmitter and is highly desired for cognitive function.* More Bacopa equals less acetylcholinesterase, and less acetylcholinesterase equals more acetylcholine.*
That's good!
Supports healthy neurotransmitter production*
Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps the body make acetylcholine, the brain’s super neurotransmitter necessary for healthy mood and optimal cognitive function, as well as muscle health, a side benefit.* Unlike plain L-carnitine, the "acetyl" form readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and acts as a nootropic compound.* It is also a potent antioxidant against free radicals and reduces cell injury from excitotoxins.*
Enhances neuronal growth & BDNF production*
Gotu kola is a beautiful plant that contains compounds that support neurotrophic secretion.* Gotu kola increases one of of the most studied neurotrophic substances, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).*
Gotu Kola’s neurotrophic benefits help increase neuronal growth, promote brain function, support memory, and reduce brain fatigue (spacing out)!*
Promotes cell membrane integrity*
Phosphatidylserine (PS) levels begin to decline with age. PS is actually required to create healthy nerve cell membranes and myelin, the fatty covering around your neurons.* This keeps your neurons healthy and working optimally.* Additionally, PS can slow, halt, or even reverse certain biochemical alterations and the structural deterioration of nerve cell membranes.* In simple terms, PS makes nerve impulses fire better.*
Promotes brain plasticity*
EGCG, a potent antioxidant found naturally in green tea, crosses the blood-brain barrier.* A 2012 study in mice found that supplemental EGCG promotes “brain plasticity” in the hippocampus area which is where learning and memory take place.* Brain plasticity refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections between brain cells (or neurons).*
Increases blood flow to the brain*
Healthy cerebral blood flow is required to provide oxygen and glucose to your brain’s cells.* Ginkgo biloba dilates blood vessels and makes platelets less sticky.* This results in more blood being delivered to organs throughout your body, especially your brain.* Ginkgo is also a potent antioxidant, so it helps neutralize free radicals.* Ginkgo might cause an additive effect with prescribed anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin (Coumadin) or clodigiprel (Plavix) and others.
Boosts acetylcholine activity*
Huperzine serrata, an herb also known as firmoss, has long been popular in traditional Eastern medicine. Just like Bacopa monnieri, Huperzine works by boosting the activity of the premium neurotransmitter acetylcholine, because Huperzine also inhibits the production of acetylcholinesterase.* And you need all of the acetylcholine you can get because of its importance for healthy cognitive function and optimal brain plasticity.*
At first, I did not notice any change in memory. I continued taking it and after re-ordering I am now experiencing a change. I trust Susy's products.
I do take the Memory Script each morning. I don’t know if it helps but I feel it can’t hurt !
It takes a little while to kick in but when it does I can def see the results. My conversations are more intelligent, I procrastinate less and can focus more! Recommended
I take 2 a day, I’m 81,and i really don’t know if it’s working or not,I’m just going by what you claim since you are a pharmacist. I hope it works
