Review of Products for Memory Loss

There are several products on the market that help with memory loss. This article is a review of 3 products currently available. They include our company's product Cyntol and the two other products called Focus Factor and Feed My Brain from other companies.

Cyntol - Helpful for Cognitive Function

Cyntol has been designed for persons wishing to restore critical brain function, including those processes involved in 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.

Progressive Health's Cyntol has been developed to lend support to our ever-increasing need for brain-supporting nutrients. Cyntol's unique blends of nutrients have been scientifically studied, and research supports their functional benefits.

Cyntol provides you the means to become proactive in your anti-aging lifestyle; positively impacting brain health and potentially limiting the occurrence of cognitive disorders.

The ingredients in Cyntol include:

• Iodine: Studies indicate that children with iodine deficiencies are struggling in school whereas children with normal iodine levels are performing better in spelling and reading.
• Zinc: Zinc is a trace metal that is prevalent in the brain. Deficiencies of this nutrient may result in decreased neurological functioning and activity, which therefore, would interfere with cognitive function.
• Acetyl L-Carnitine HCI: Research suggests that acetylcholine may improve the functioning cells located in the brain, primarily within the mitochondria. It may also positively effect acetylcholine levels. Interestingly, Acetyl L-Carnitine has been shown to produce beneficial effects on clinical and central nervous system neurochemical measurements in potential Alzheimer's and diabetic patients.
• Methylcobalamin: A type of Vitamin B12 that may be helpful for nerve fibers and regenerating damaged neurons. It may also work to reduce homocysteine levels in the body; elevated levels of this amino acid have been associated with reductions in cognitive function.
• 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: Acts as a tonic to the circulatory system by increasing blood flow to the brain; which also brings more nutrition to the brain.
• Bacopa Ext.: Has been used since the 6th century A.D. by India as a medicine to improve cognitive function and help with the nervous system. Has be reported to be effective for enhancing memory, improving brain function, and also improving mental performance.
• Korean Ginseng Ext.: The main ingredients in Ginseng are ginsenosides, which are thought to work in the brain to help increase the release of the hormone ACTH. This is thought to help to regulate and ease stress. It has also been reported to help with learning disabilities and improve mental stamina.
• Vinpocetine: Has been reported to improve cerebral blood flow and oxygenation, improves the production of ATP (energy) in brain cells, and slows down clot formation.
• Huperzine A Ext.: Huperzine A has been shown to be beneficial for memory and learning, and has great potential for promoting alertness and overall cognitive function.
• Lecithin: Research suggests that lecithin may improve symptoms of Alzheimer's and other cognitive disorders.

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