It is made from 3 distinct naturally occurring ingredients that have each been shown to slow memory loss and promote healthy brain activity.
Homotaurine, found in a seaweed was being investigated as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. It binds to soluble amyloid beta and inhibits the formation of neurotoxic aggregates that lead to amyloid plaque deposition in the brain.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), from fish oil is an omega-3 essential fatty acid
Dietary DHA may reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing the level of blood triglycerides in humans. There is mounting evidence that DHA supplementation may be effective in combating such diseases .
A large NIH(US National Institute for Health) intervention trial is currently running to evaluate DHA in Alzheimer's disease.
Huperzine A, found in the plant extracts of the moss Huperzia serrata.
The botanical has been used in China for centuries for the treatment of swelling, fever and blood disorders. Recently in clinical trials in China, it has demonstrated neuroprotective effects
Huperzine A is also currently being investigated as a possible treatment for diseases characterized by neurodegeneration – particularly Alzheimer’s disease
Clinical trials in China have shown that huperzine A is comparably effective to the drugs currently on the market, and may even be a bit safer in terms of side effects
March 13, 2009 – Star Nutraceuticals Inc. launches Memory PlusTM. Memory Plus™ is the number one cognitive protection supplement available. As we age, specific regions of our brains start to shrink. This shrinkage leads to a loss of important brain cells. One brain region in which brain cell loss occurs is the hippocampus, a region responsible for learning and memory. Loss of brain cells in the hippocampus has been associated with learning and memory problems1.
What causes the cell loss in the hippocampus? Scientists have found that certain toxins can build up in the brain and cause cells within the brain to malfunction and die. If too many neurons are damaged or die, problems can occur and affect memory and learning abilities2.
