Diminished levels of neurotransmitters and other brain compounds profoundly impact cognition and memory in aging adults. Cognitex was developed in 1982 to increase brain levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter than enables neurons to communicate. Over the years, Cognitex has been improved with the addition of nutrients used in Europe to protect and enhance neurological function. Cognitex with Pregnenolone & NeuroProtection Complex contains even more pharmaceutical grade nutrients to provide broad-spectrum neurological support: Uridine-5'-monophosphate (UMP) is a phosphatide building block of RNA-DNA that is critical to optimal brain function and the health of neuronal cell membranes. Naturally found in the milk of nursing mothers, UMP is essential not only for the growth and development of infant brains, but also for healthy cognitive function in aging adults. SharpPS Gold , a rich phosphatidylserine compound bound to DHA, promotes already-normal neuronal cell membrane function and structure. Glyceryl phosphoryl choline (GPC) boosts acetylcholine, a critical neurotransmitter that declines with age. Vinpocetine enhances circulation and oxygenation to brain cells, improves neural electrical conductivity, and protects against neuron-destroying excitotoxicity. Phosphatidylcholine-grape seed extract bound together results in a compound that is better absorbed into the bloodstream where it improves blood vessel tone and elasticity, thus enhancing blood circulation and oxygen flow to the brain. Wild blueberry extract suppresses free radical and inflammatory damage in the brain, and may improve memory and reverse certain changes seen in aging neurons. Sensoril ashwagandha extract helps alleviate mental fatigue by inhibiting an enzyme (acetylcholinesterase) that degrades acetylcholine in the aging brain. Proprietary NeuroProtection Complex Blend contains standardized extracts of hops, ginger, and rosemary--proven anti-inflammatory nutrients.
Directions
Some people may take three softgels twice daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Caution Pregnenolone may affect hormone levels so those with hormonal cancers such as prostate or breast cancer should use Cognitex without pregnenolone. Based on animal research, those with epilepsy or a predisposition of brain seizures may want to avoid pregnenolone. If you are taking Warfarin (Coumadin ), consult with your physician before using this product. |
