Cognitive problems are an inevitable risk that we run when we become older. Fortunately, new research indicates that some of these factors can be controlled. Cognitex® provides the following brain boosting ingredients in one advanced formula: Gastrodin acts as a “brain shield,” calming brain cells and helping to protect from damage. Gastrodin works in multiple ways to improve circulation and shield the brain from age-related issues. L-alpha glyceryl phosphoryl choline (Alpha-GPC) is needed for the production of acetylcholine in the brain. Proper acetylcholine function is essential for proper memory and learning, though, it declines as we age. Vinpocetine enhances circulation, oxygenation, electrical conductivity of brain cells and helps to support healthy blood flow. Hops and rosemary have all shown to help to suppress inflammation. Wild blueberry extract has been shown to inhibit oxidative and inflammatory changes in brain cells, believed to be involved in memory decline. The ability of phosphatidylserine (PS) to improve cognitive skills has been extensively studied. PS exerts significant benefit memory, learning, vocabulary skills, and concentration and other age-related issues. Ashwagandha inhibits an enzyme (acetylcholinesterase ) that breaks down acetylcholine in the brain. Grape seed extract improves blood vessel tone and elasticity, thus boosting oxygen flow in the brain. Uridine-5’-monophosphate (UMP) is a compound naturally found in the milk of nursing mothers and is essential to young brains. Uridine-5’-monophosphate also supports superior cognitive function in ageing adults.
