Supplement for Cognitive Vitality - Cyntol

Cyntol has been designed for people wanting to restore critical brain function, including the processes involving memory and confusion. With its comprehensive list of ingredients, Cyntol may also work to eliminate risk factors that can interfere with cognitive functioning.

Supplementing your diet and active lifestyle with Cyntol may prevent excessive free radical damage upon the brain from occurring; thereby supporting your cognitive health, functioning, and vitality.

A few ingredients in Cyntol are:

• Zinc- Zinc is a trace metal that is prevalent in the brain. It appears that a zinc deficiency may result in decreased neurologic functioning, activity, which therefore would interfere with cognitive function.
• Acetyl L-Carnitine HCI- Research suggests that acetylcholine may improve the functioning of the cells in your brain.
• Methylcobalamin- A type of Vitamin B12 that may be helpful for nerve fibers and regenerating damaged neurons.
• Phosphatidylserine- By supporting the structure of the brain, Phosphatidylserine may be able to improve memory, learning, mood, and concentration in those with decreased cognitive function.
• Choline- Choline is helpful for making acetylcholine, which is the brain chemical that is involved with memory and thought processes.
• Gingko Biloba- Can act as a tonic to the circulatory system by increasing blood flow to the brain, which brings more nutrition to the brain.
• Huperzine A Ext.- Has been shown to be beneficial to memory and learning.

Cognitive Enhancer - Procera AVH

Procera AVH is a non-prescription nutritional supplement that has been clinically tested and proven to improve memory, mood, and other cognitive functions.

Procera AVH uses three ingredients, in a proprietary formula, to help increase your mental performance, naturally.
 

1. Vinpocetine (VIN) is a natural extract of the beautiful periwinkle flower, vinca minor. It increases cerebral vascular blood flow, thus enhancing the flow of nutrients, oxygen, glucose and neurotransmitter substrates, e.g., choline to the brain.
2. Huperzine A (HUP) is derived from Chinese Club Moss (Huperia serrata). It's a natural acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. AChE is the enzyme that destroys acetylcholine in the synapse before it's effectively used to communicate your thoughts, feelings and memories.
3. Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) is naturally found in the brain and body. ALC has multiple roles in the protection, preservation and performance of your brain cells. It increases brain blood flow as well as the synthesis and utilization of acetylcholine (ACh), a key neurotransmitter for mental clarity, memory and focus.
   
   It improves the energy output of your mitochondria, helps stabilize the neural membrane, and protects both from free radical damage.

Procera AVH was shown to improve a broad range of mind, memory and mood categories including:

• Working Memory - Used in decision making and problem solving
• Memory - Accuracy and speed of learning and recalling information
• Focus & Concentration
• Mood - Increased feelings of well being, decreased feelings of anxiety, anger and depression
• Mental Clarity & Vigor - Mental Energy
• IQ - Ravens Progressive Matrices IQ test; improved general problem solving, reasoning, visual working memory

Procera AVH works in three ways:

1. Increases the circulation of blood to the brain, delivering more oxygen and vital nutrients needed for nutritional support
2. Increases the brain energy resulting in improved cognitive functions such as clarity, focus, and memory
3. Improves key neurotransmitters which are depleted by stress, sleep loss, poor diet and aging.
