Description

3 parts
›BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a composition that contains the most potent combination of nutrients which have been focused to assist in the struggle with memory loss, dementia and Alzheimers disease.

The advanced formulation is designed to promote healthy memory and provide optimal neuro protection.

Many studies have been conducted in Europe and in the United States on the effects of individual natural supplements on the brain and the advanced memory formulation embodied by the crucial combinations of ingredients has proven very promising in maintaining healthy memory and providing optimal neuro protection.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an unique and superior formulation which allows individuals improve, maintain and enhance memory. It is also a design to prevent and treat dementia and Alzheimers disease.

›SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The key to the unique formulation is a combination of specific vitamins, minerals, herbs and nutrients. These essential components in the amounts provided uniquely contribute to improved memory and neuro health maintenance.

The formulation contains Phosphatidylserine, Phosphatidylcholine, CoEnzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vinpocetine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Ginkgo Biloba, Blueberry and Spinach extracts, as well as other ingredients and healthy filler ingredients.

The formulation is preferably delivered in capsule form at 8 capsules per day.

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention involves a composition for oral ingestion that contains Phosphatidylserine, Phosphatidylcholine, CoEnzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vinpocetine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Ginkgo biloba, Blueberry and Spinach extracts, as well as other ingredients and healthy filler ingredients. More specifically, this formulated product is a memory loss and memory enhancement management formulation. This formulation allows for enhanced maintenance of memory and prevention of loss.

In order to secure the desired result the following essential components are provided:

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is an important ingredient to enhance mental quickness and has many neurogical benefits. ALC improves memory and learning, improves cerebral blood flow and elevates mood. (approximately 1000 mg)(100 mg-10,000 mg)

Standardized Ginkgo Biloba herb promotes improved memory, oxygen flow to the arms, legs, and brain by supporting strong blood circulation. (120 mg)(standardized 24% ginkgo flavon glycosides, 6% terpene lactones)(12 mg-1,200 mg)

Alpha lipoic Acid is an essential antioxidant which has free radical quenching properties. Lipoic Acid acts as a fat and water soluble antioxidant, supporting vitamins C and E at the cellular level (300 mg)(30 mg-3,000 mg).

Blueberry and Spinach extracts contain high levels of required antioxidants which promote improved cognitive abilities. (Approximately 100 mg of each) (10 mg-4,000 mg)

Phosphatidylserine(300 mg) and Phosphatidylcholine(200 mg) both are essential ingredients for memory maintenance.

CoEnzyme Q10 (60 mg) is an essential free radical scavenger for enhanced cellular energy production, that is vital for memory enhancement and maintenance (6 mg-6,000 mg).

Vinpocetine (15 mg) is an essential supplement component for a healthy memory (1.5 mg-150 mg).

Additionally, the following Vitamins, Minerals and natural supplement additives are all important for the memory health formulation:

In addition to the key components, other components such as kosher gelatin (capsules), magnesium stearate and silica and cellulose are included.

Although the invention has been described primarily in connection with special and preferred embodiments, it will be understood that it is capable of modification without departing from the scope of the invention. The following claims are intended to cover all variations, uses, or adaptations of the of the invention, following, in general the principles thereof and including such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the field to which the invention pertains, or as are obvious to persons skilled in the field.
