Cogni Flex 60 Capsules

Cogni-flex?, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a uniquecombination of nutrients and herbs (huperzine A, Ginkgobiloba, phosphatidyl serine, and acetyl-L-carnitine) whichwork in concert to maintain and enhance brain and nervoussystem functions, including those involved in mentalalertness, clarity, and memory retention. These positiveeffects of the four components of Cogni-flex? uponstructure and function of the nervous system are supportedby numerous scientific/clinical studiesThe four nutrients in Cogni-flex? support the structure andfunction of cognitive processes in several ways. Theysupport neurotransmitter metabolism, enhance vascularcirculation to the brain, and help maintain structure andfunction of nerve cell membranes.Huperzine A: An extract of the Chinese club moss,Huperzia serrata, huperzine A has been used in Chinesemedicine for centuries. It is an effective inhibitor ofacetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that degrades acetylcholine,the neurotransmitter important for normal memory andlearning function. Huperzine A may help maintain cognitivefunction that has been degraded by a reduction in the brainsfunctional levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.Ginkgo biloba: Flavonoid compounds and terpene lactonesin the ginkgo leaf help regulate the structural tone andelasticity of arteries and capillaries. As powerful antioxidants,the ginkgo flavonoids counteract the deleterious actions offree radical accumulation which impairs functional cellularenergy production and nerve transmission. Ginkgo bilobaextract is also reported to inhibit the tendency of red bloodcells to stick together (clumping), thereby enhancing thefunctional fluidity of the blood. Improving the functionalcirculation to the brain and other parts of the body allows forbetter oxygen and glucose uptake, with subsequentenhancement of memory and mental functions.Phosphatidylserine: This phospholipid, found in highconcentrations in the nervous system, helps maintainfunctional fluidity of nerve cell
