Taking Natural supplements containing:
Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Phosphatidylserine (PS), DHA, EPA, Acetyl-L-Ca
itine (ALC), Vitamin B6, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, chromium, Green Tea Extract, DMAE, , L- Tyrosine, Herb-of-Grace (Bacopa monnieri), Passion Flower (Passiflora inca
ate), DLPhenylalanine, Gatrodine (Gastrodia elata), Bioperine, Ginkgo Biloba, B-Complex, Eluthero (Siberian Ginseng) and Vinpocetine is a derivative of Vincamine, which is extracted from the periwinkle plant (Vinca Minor, Vinca Pervinca). .
Vinpocetine works in three remarkable ways:
It boosts blood circulation in your brain. It zeros in on your brain’s tiny blood vessels so they can deliver oxygen more efficiently. It even helps your brain use oxygen better.
Since it keeps your brain cells charged up with high oxygen levels, it increases the amount of time your brain can go without fresh oxygen. That means it can keep your brain cells from dying.*
It helps your body preserve its energy for a robust brain and power for healthy living.* It preserves something called “adenosine triphosphate” or ATP—the fuel every cell of your body needs to function.
Scientists are investigating several different dietary additions for people with dementia. Two of the most promising areas:
Antioxidants
A clinical trial showed that vitami
E helps slow down mental impairment in people with Alzheimer's. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which helps protect cells against damage. It's now being researched in conjunction with B vitamins.
A large 2005 study found that healthy people who consumed more than 400 micrograms (the recommended daily amount for adults) of folate, a B vitamin that occurs naturally in many foods, cut their risk of developing Alzheimer's in half. This slowing of cognitive decline is being looked at to see if it's also true once decline has started.
Ginkgo bilobar
This herb, traditionally used in Chinese medicine, comes from the dried leaves of the gingko (maidenhair) tree. It's sometimes called the "memory herb," after findings that it appears to help slow down cognitive decline for some people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. To date, research studies making this claim have been criticized, however, and a randomized clinical trial sponsored in part by the National Institute on Aging and the National Center for Complementary and Alte
ative Medicine is underway, to be completed in late 2009.
The biggest problem with Memory Supplements is that people forget to take them!!

Nutrition and Depression
Depression is a real illness which affects so many people. In fact, many people will, at some stage in their life feel the effects of some form of depression. Current statistics reveal that about 1 in 5 people will suffer from depression at some point in their lives. Depression usually occurs when there is a chemical imbalance in the brain. The imbalance occurs with serotonin - an important neurotransmitter, which helps to transfer messages throughout the structures of the brain's nerve cells. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that controls how we feel - happy or sad.
