The Brain Booster

Once again we have new research proving amazing results.

Apparently there is no such thing as a bad memory! Memories are neither good nor bad, but they can be untrained. For most people, especially those studying or sitting exams, the problems of remembering, or more importantly 'forgetting' are the result of stress and the effects of continual mental pressure. Also too much inforfmation and not enough time to store it in the memory bank.

The good news is that research has now shown that natural herbs mayhelp improve your memory capacity andincrease concentration. There is considerable evidence that memory is affected by stress and anxiety, and that managing stress levels can have significant benefits on short term memory and recall function.

Fear can be an important stress factor, and the fear of forgetting often seems to make it hard for the brain to take in details - and retain them for later recall.

Brahmi also known as water hyssop is a traditional Indian herb that has been used by Ayurvedic physicians for more than 3000 years, primarily for its ability to help improve memory capacity increase concentration, and reduce stress-induced anxiety. More recently studies at the Indian Government's Central Drug Research Institute have shown that bacosides, the active ingredients in Brahmi, help to repair neuron connection, leading to improved nerve impulse transmission, a key factor in memory function and recall.

Also Gotu kola, Hawthorn and Guarana are appreciated in assisting brain function, including memory.

Today Ginkgo biloba has become popular for its tonic effects on circulation and memory, and is one of the most medically prescribed herbs in Germany.

Glyconutrients give optimal health and wellbeing.
