MemoGuard contains the optimal combination of ingredients for preserving memory and brain health. Hundreds of research studies have now unraveled the details of what happens to the brain as it ages. Throughout life, as you learn new information, your brain actually gets stronger. New contact points called synapses form between the brain cells, and the improved network of interconnections increases your mental fitness. With aging, you lose some synapses. Why do baby-boomers become forgetful? - With aging, three mechanisms damage the synapses and lead to mental slowness and more frequent "senior moments."
- Inflammation - formation of oxygen free radicals, in response to natural "wear and tear" that also happens throughout the body
- Vascular disease - formation of "mini-strokes" due to atherosclerosis
- Neurodegeneration - formation of toxic protein deposits called Amyloid plaques and Tau tangles, between and inside brain cells
- Each person harbors varying degrees of these three processes in the brain.
- High blood pressure and diabetes can increase and worsen the atherosclerotic damage to the nervous system.
- Others may have a genetic propensity to accumulate larger loads of plaques and tangles, which in turn trigger a more vicious inflammatory response and thus a more aggressive damage to the synapses.
What are the best ways to combat aging processes in the brain? Vitamin C energizes vitamin E, making it a more potent anti-oxidant. Levels of inflammatory markers are much higher in the brains of patients who have serious memory deficits and dementia. - Patients who take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Motrin on a regular basis are far less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.
- In parallel, numerous studies have shown that those who take vitamin E supplements are less likely to become demented.
- Adding vitamin C can magnify benefits of vitamin E.
- According to The Cache County Study, consumption of vitamin E plus vitamin C cuts down the risk of Alzheimer's by almost half.
- Vitamin C seems to have the capacity to boost and recycle vitamin E so that it keeps fighting inflammation over and over again.
In collaboration with the researchers of The Cache County Study, I discovered that the participants with a high risk of developing Alzheimer's who also added NSAIDs to their anti-oxidant cocktail (super-users) were more likely than others to remain cognitively intact throughout their 70's and 80's. - It appears that vitamin C helps vitamin E, and these together complement NSAIDs to fight the brain processes that lead to memory loss.
- Vitamin E has additional beneficial properties in improving blood circulation and can minimize the atherosclerotic damage in the brain that can cause mental slowness.
- In short, vitamin E can protect the brain by itself and can do so even better when combined with vitamin C and NSAIDs.
Curcumin is also an anti-inflammatory drug, but it also has the capacity to melt away harmful amyloid plaques in the brain. - Curcumin has been used as a safe and effective natural remedy for more than 5000 years.
- It is a natural NSAID without the GI side-effects and with a long list of benefits for many different conditions:
- heal inflamed joints
- cool ulcers
- lower cholesterol
- minimize prostate cancer
- treat inflammatory bowel disease
- dietary curcumin can even counteract effects of traumatic brain injury
- Indian diets include an average of 100-200 mg of curcumin daily.
- This may be one of the many reasons for the low incidence of Alzheimer's in India, less than 25% compared to the United States.
- In animal studies, curcumin lowers the load of amyloid deposit in animal models of Alzheimer's disease.
- In test tubes with samples of blood from patients with Alzheimer's, curcumin enhances the ability of immune cells (macrophages) to fight, destroy, and clear amyloid.
- In a recent study of more than 1000 participants in Singapore, those who used curcumin often were 40% less likely to experience slowing in their thinking and mental capacities.
The overwhelming wave of positive data regarding the beneficial effects of curcumin from around the globe has now led to a specific clinical trial to establish the role of curcumin in treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Omega-3 fatty acid (DHA) is a life-saver for heart patients, but also enhances memory and brain health. - DHA is one of nature's most effective natural remedies for heart and brain diseases.
- In an Italian study of more than 11,000 patients with heart attacks, DHA users had 40% lower risk of developing irregular heart rate and were far more likely to live longer.
- Currently, European doctors give a prescription for DHA to all their patients with heart attacks.
- The American Heart Association also recommends eating fish and/or taking DHA supplements for patients with coronary heart disease.
- One of the most exciting new discoveries in the field of neuroscience has been the realization that DHA can reduce the amount of amyloid in the brain.
- Mice genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer's have fewer amyloid plaques if their diet contains DHA.
- This compound can improve cognitive performance because it promotes the growth of synpases and survival of neurons in the memory of the brain, called the hippocampus.
- Alzheimer's patients, and even those with depression or learning disabilities, have low levels of DHA.
- Adding DHA to the diet in the form of eating fish 2-3 times a week or taking supplements increases memory and attention in normal healthy subjects and significantly lowers the risk of Alzheimer's in the elderly.
- DHA is safe.
- Even infant formula preparations contain DHA to help with brain development.
- DHA's benefits extend to animals too.
- Young dogs receiving DHA have a better memory and can learn even faster.
- Rats can figure out how to come out of a maze better if their diet is supplemented with DHA.
- Clinical trials in Japan and Sweden have shown positive results for prevention of memory loss with aging, and now large scale placebo-controlled trials are under way in the United States.
MemoGuard contains the optimal combination of ingredients for preserving memory and brain health.
Based on my 20 years of research at Harvard and Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, and based on my critical review of the literature in this field, I have put together a tablet with ingredients I consider to be most important for brain health. - MemoGuard contains safe amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, Curcumin, and the omega-3 fatty acid, DHA.
- MemoGuard ingredients work even better when they are combined together.
- Curcumin can get absorbed better in the body if it is combined with a fat-soluble compound such as the omega-3 fatty acid DHA.
- Vitamin E also functions better and lasts longer when it is combined with vitamin C.
- Above all, the doses of vitamin E, vitamin C, curcumin, and DHA in MemoGuard are safe, and there are absolutely no significant side-effects in otherwise healthy people seeking a supplement for maintaining mental sharpness.
- In short, MemoGuard has a long list of potential proven benefits for memory and brain health and given its lack of adverse effects can be used safely for many years on a regular basis.
- MemoGuard can also help with improving the healthy condition of heart, joints, and many other organs in the body.
MemoGuard contains a unique collection of natural vitamins carefully selected at doses to be most beneficial but yield no side-effects. Taking Memoguard daily can help baby-boomers maintain their mental agility and some may also notice an improvement in their short-term memory. Your memory and mental agility will be even sharper if you combine MemoGuard with a heart healthy diet and regular physical activity.
