🧠Supplements for your Brain
MEMOrax Advanced 4.0 presents a comprehensive formula with six powerful ingredients for Cognitive health: Ginkgo biloba, Korean Panax Ginseng, GABA, Bacopa monnieri, Reishi mushroom, and Rhodiola rosea.
🌸Bacopa is an herb that has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine as a memory enhancer for thousands of years and has shown effects in both the elderly and young people. Studies have shown that bacopa may act by increasing neural connections in the brain after supplementing for at least 4 weeks. Because Bacopa is fat soluble, it is best that it is consumed with a meal to help in its absorption into the body.
🌳Ginkgo is the most common herb used to support cognitive health and there is substantial scientific evidence to support this use. The main benefits appear to be found in people diagnosed with dementia, but evidence also exists for supporting cognitive health in healthy middle and older age individuals. Ginkgo is thought to improve blood flow to the brain, reduce oxidative stress and inhibit the building up of damaging plaque known as amyloid beta.
🌿Rhodiola rosea is a medicinal plant known for its ability to help the body withstand and recover from stress and increase energy. There is evidence that this action may be in part to its ability to limit cortisol release under stressful conditions. While Rhodiola is probably most beneficial to improve cognitive function while under stress, it may help improve memory independent of stress as well.
🍄Reishi Mushroom has many therapeutic effects, including its ability to modulate the immune system, decrease inflammation and improve sleep. In Asian countries it is known as the “immortality mushroom” due to its antioxidant properties and its ability to directly protect nerve cells.
🫚Korean/ Panax Ginseng is another herb used for cognitive support and works well when taken together with ginkgo. Studies involving healthy young adults noted significant improvements in reaction time and accuracy when ginseng was supplemented along with gingko. Ginseng also helps to prevent fatigue and increase alertness while improving feelings of relaxation, which makes it a great option for students studying for exams and those working long hours at a stressful job.
🧬GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is chemical messenger that blocks or decreases the activity of nerves in the brain and peripheral tissue which can prevent overstimulation and improve feelings of calm while also regulating mood, focus and memory. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on young healthy individuals, showed that GABA supplementation improved temporal attention tasks, such as identifying and ordering visual events.
