MEMORY.It’s all in your mind.So take care of it.

HEALTH FIRST MEMORY SUPREMEPowerful Cognitive Support IngredientsSYNAPSA® is a proprietary extract of the ancient herb, Bacopa monnieri, one of the most highly studied cognitive support ingredients in the world. It has been shown in adult clinical trials to improve visual processing, learning rate, and retention and recall of new information after just 6 weeks of use. B. monnieri may enhance neuronal density in the hippocampus, which plays a central role in the consolidation of long-term memories, and increase levels of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter in the brain that supports memory.LIONS MANE MUSHROOMS have shown signicant potential to increase nerve growth factor (NGF), which is a protein produced in high amounts in the hippocampus and critical to the growth, survival and recovery of nerve cells. NGF is thought to facilitate the formation of long-term memories by increasing the activity of an enzyme called PARP-1.The amygdala works with the hippocampus to process memories related to emotions such as fear, anger and sadness, and then with the prefrontal cortex to determine how we respond to these memories.The prefrontal cortex is responsible for working memory, which is short term memory that helps us to recall information needed for a short moment in time.HYPOTHALAMUSPREFRONTALCORTEXAMYGDALAROSEMARY is a potent antioxidant and anti-inammatory agent that has long been associated with neuroprotective properties. Its two main constituents, carnosic acid and carnosol, have been shown in animal studies to prevent oxidative damage to the fatty acids and phospholipids in the brain, which is critically important given that 60% of the brain is made up of fat. Another key constituent, 1,8-cineole, has been shown to inhibit the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, that all-important neurotransmitter that regulates so many aspects of learning and memory.SunPS® is a proprietary form of phosphatidylserine (PS), a phospholipid and major component of all cell membranes. It helps to carry messages between nerve cells in the brain and can slow, stop and potentially even reverse nerve cell deterioration. Subjects in PS studies scored higher on short term memory, mood and concentration tests. As we age, animal studies suggest that brain levels of PS decrease, and it’s not that easy to get enough through diet alone. Supplemental PS crosses the blood-brain barrier to support multiple aspects of cognitive health.

This groundbreaking cognitive support formula by Health First features a blend of ingredients that work together to achieve not only peak mental performance, but a calm and balanced mental state. Memory Supreme protects your most precious asset: your mind. CITICOLINE is another amazing compound that has been used to support brain cell recovery after injuries such as concussions. It helps to boost the brain’s own production of phospholipids, including phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), which are fundamental in the functioning of neural cell membranes. PC is a precursor in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, which induces a resting state and inuences attention, learning, memory, and sleep. Citicoline also increases the neurotransmitters critical for mood balance.MAGNESIUM THREONATE is a bioavailable form of magnesium shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and increase magnesium ions in the brain. There is now an established link between magnesium ions and the health of the brain’s synaptic connections, which allow nerve cells to communicate. This communication is essential for the preservation of learning and memory. The hippocampus is the memory centre of the brain. It’s the place where conscious memories begin and long-term memories are processed.Recent studies of the hypothalamus are showing that it may act as a juncture for updating memories based on new sensory information.HIPPOCAMPUSHYPOTHALAMUSAMYGDALAROSEMARY is a potent antioxidant and anti-inammatory agent that has long been associated with neuroprotective properties.
