The reduction of age-related decline in brain function is a key health initiative
for Western society. Sometimes referred to as cognitive decline or deficit,
this group of disorders is feared by a large proportion of the elderly population
who wonder about the precedence of Alzheimer’s disease. While memory is
seen as a primary function of the brain, a person’s conscious awareness
comes from outside the body and memory is probably a function of the whole body
itself. I do not apologize for these lateral thoughts because there is more
that we do not know about brain function and conscious awareness than we do
know. Elegant things are often simple. Without good basic structure and function
of the brain there cannot be good memory and cognitive activity. Memory
Naturally™ is a dietary supplement that was designed to support
the general structure and function of the central nervous system, so that individuals
may maintain mental agility. This dietary supplement Memory Naturally™
is a synergistic blend of nutrients that support brain structure and function,
in a manner that can complement conventional medical treatments for declines
in brain function or assist in forming a good structural basis for the central
nervous system to exert its normal functions.
Promises that drug X or supplement Y can reverse declines in brain function
are shallow promises, in many circumstances. Individuals must take action to
combat the many risk factors of poor brain function. These risks include: living
in Western society with environmental toxins, cardiovascular disease, stress,
poor diet and lack of both physical and brain exercises. While people talk about
physical exercise in disease prevention, they seem to ignore the importance
of mental gymnastics in the maintenance of good brain function. If any person
of any age sits in a chair with despondency and no mental or physical activity,
they will experience considerable premature disability and death.
Mental agility is measured by memory recall and rapid construction of thoughts.
If individuals are “tired” or sleep deprived they will exhibit mental
fuzziness. I do not need to keep giving the sermon of positive lifestyle change
because many interventions for improving brain function are obvious, but some
are so obvious that they are often overlooked. Sleep deprivation causes physical
and mental disability and without restful sleep, health cannot prevail, especially
good brain function (see Sleep Naturally™).
There have been a whole host of memory protective diets and principles of psycho
nutrition that have variable benefit. There is no possibility of obtaining all
brain supporting nutrients from a standard Western diet (SAD). For these reasons,
scientists have researched brain specific supporting nutrients and botanicals
that may exert beneficial effects on thinking, memory and overall mental agility.
Forgetfulness and blocking of thoughts are the most embarrassing events for
mature individuals.
The idea that single supplements or natural substances can support the complex
structures and functions of the brain is nonsensical. Memory Naturally™
is a complex combination of bran supporting nutrients that have an evidence
base for support of the central nervous system. In this short summary it is
not possible to review the evidence base for the ingredients of Memory
Naturally™, but it is possible to state, that this is a revolutionary
combination of substances that provide brain specific antioxidant functions,
ingredients for memory support and cognition, anti-homocysteine ingredients
and a range of molecules derived from lipids that form the basic structure of
brain cells and their connections. There is no other dietary supplement that
contains this complexity of nutritional supporters for brain function which
include: N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCI, Lecithin, Alpha GPC, Turmeric Root, Green
Tea, Ginkgo Biloba, Phosphatidyl Serine, DHA, Vinpocetine, Vitamin B6, Vitamin
B1, Folic Acid and Vitamin B12.
There is no intention in this description of Memory Naturally™
to talk about disease treatment or prevention, except to say that without a
full deck of cards, poker cannot be played. Dr. Holt has a strong feeling that
a deficiency of vital nutrients to support brain function is at the basis of
much psychological and mental disorder. For example, the brain is an organ of
specific types of fat, many of which are not able to be synthesized by the human
body. He equates an absence of a full deck of cards with poor brain supporting
structures and he believes strongly that this situation may be the basis of
much behavioral disorder, depression, attention deficit disorder and simple
memory lapses or poor brain functions.
