Membrin, 30
As the swell of baby boomers reach retirement age, cognitive
function associated with aging is becoming an important health care issue.
With the increasing value of cognitive support regimens, natural supplements
like Membrin are taking the lead for patients seeking help with cognitive
function.
Why These Natural Ingredients?
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract
By far the most clinically proven plant extract for supporting
cerebral function, Ginkgo has been shown to increase blood flow to the
brain, promote nerve conductivity and improve memory in elderly patients.
Our raw material is of highest potency and the 120 mg dose matches many
of the positive clinical trials.
Vinpocetin
Widely considered to be neuroprotective, vinpocetin has been
shown to increase both cerebral blood flow and brain glucose uptake in
animal experiments. As a neuroprotective agent, vinpocetin helps maintain
circulatory and neurological strength in the brain. Further, the ability
of vinpocetin to inhibit phosphodiesterase is likely to play a relevant
role in long term memory enhancement. An alkaloid derivative of vincamine,
which in turn is extracted from the periwinkle plant (Vinca minor), Ortho
Molecular has chosen a comparatively significant dose in keeping with
many of the clinical trials.
Huperzine
Huperzine is a nutraceutical extracted from Chinese club
moss (Huperzia serrata) that works as a potent, selective and long-term
protector of the naturally occurring neurotransmitter, acetylcholine
(ACh). To effectively enhance memory and learning, it is critical for
ACh to have uninhibited performance, a function that is hindered by the
presence of acetylcholine esterase (AChE), which works to break down
ACh. By effectively blocking the activity of AChE, huperzine supplementation
yields increased ACh levels, which are important for generating optimal
neurotransmission for critical brain functions- especially memory. This
mechanism has been studied for simple memory and learning, as well as
neurological function in the elderly.
Studies have shown huperzine to improve memory in several
animal models as well as human clinical trials, and has been shown to
be safe and effective. Most clinical research has studied doses of 100
mcg per day, which we have included in Membrin.
