Keeping your mental edge isn’t just about memory. It’s being able to think clearly and feel sharp, focused, and alert. This gets harder as you age because your body experiences a natural decline in the essential nutrients that support brain health. And in turn, this can affect how your brain processes memories, ideas, and associations. But recent research has revealed that replenishing the right brain nutrients can significantly change the way your brain functions as you age. That’s why my Memory Essentials formula combines the 10 “smartest” nutrients you can take for not only sharper memory, but also enhanced overall mental performance. You get:

• Alpha-GPC—this “cornerstone nutrient” is a superior source of choline and your brain’s most crucial building block for healthy cells. Clinical studies show Alpha-GPC can enhance mental alertness, reasoning, information processing, and general mental performance.
• Pantothenic acid, which helps your body better utilize essential choline
• Green tea and vinpocetine to improve blood flow for enhanced nutrient and oxygen delivery to your brain, as well as to provide critical antioxidant protection
• Folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12—members of the B-vitamin complex that support normal homocysteine levels as well as proper nerve structure and function
• Blueberry powder, rich with antioxidants to fight free-radical damage to your brain
• Phosphatidylserine to support optimal brain and nerve cell communication
• DMAE, a key nutrient in the synthesis of acetylcholine, which is a vital neurotransmitter for memory and learning

Why Memory Essentials is better:

• Includes a specific form of choline shown in clinical studies to support memory recall and enhance cognitive function
• Provides essential nutrient building blocks for healthy nerve cells
• Relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow for improved nutrient and oxygen delivery to the brain
• Includes a targeted trio of nutrients—choline, DMAE, and pantothenic acid—that cross the essential blood-brain barrier to deliver their health benefits directly where they’re needed
• Delivers powerful “memory” antioxidants that protect your delicate nerve cell membranes and support your brain’s neurotransmitters
• Promotes normal homocysteine levels to support sharp thinking and mental agility
• Nourishes your brain for enhanced mental clarity and improved memory
• Replenishes key nutrients essential for top mental functioning that declines naturally with age
