Brain Memory 60 VCaps

Membranes are the working surfaces of every cell,carrying out the essential functions of cellularcommunication and hormonal signal transduction.Nerve cells, in particular, depend on healthymembrane function for normal neurotransmitter metabolism and nerve signal transmission. Ginkgo biloba supports the flow of blood and oxygen through capillaries to the brain.An extract of the Chinese club moss, Huperzia serrata, huperzine A has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries. It is an effective inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that degrades acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter important for normal memory and learning function. Huperzine A may help maintain cognitive function that has been degraded by a reduction in the brain’s functional levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.Acetyl-L-carnitine contributes its acetyl group to the production of acetylcholine, the primaryneurotransmitter for memory and thought. The enzyme that makes acetylcholine from acetyl groups and choline is choline acetyl transferase. The activity of this important enzyme has a tendency to decline with age, causing low acetylcholine levels which inturn are thought to contribute to the impairment of brain function that is associated with aging. Research has also found that acetyl-L-carnitine is active in optimizing the functioning of cerebral blood flow, as cell as of nerve cell membranes.
