Oxidative stress is a primary initiating event in Alzheimer's

September 15, 2004

Recently, a pharmaceutical company announced their award of a research grant to further their study of compounds that can efficiently block the neuronal damage and degeneration associated with oxidative stress.

In 2000, inspired by increasing reports on the role of aging and "oxidative injury" to the brain, I began to research the ideal ingredients for a high quality neuroceutical. The result was Memory reVITALIZER*, a uniquely potent antioxidant.

Oxidative damage to nerve cells occurs in several locations. Vitamin E addresses oxidative injury only at a single location inside the cell (the mitochondria). Vitamin C, in contrast, principally addresses oxidative injury in the water-soluble areas outside the nerve cell. Memory reVITALIZER* addresses oxidative injury at all major areas inside and outside the nerve cell. This combination includes herbal antioxidants such as bioflavonoids, coenzyme Q10, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, Gotu Kola, grape pip and Quercetin. In addition, four essential antioxidant amino acids are in the formulation. These help repair injury deep inside the nerve cell. Mineral antioxidants are another class of antioxidants. Memory reVITALIZER* includes minerals such as selenium, manganese, magnesium and zinc.

As time goes by, there will be more combination anti-aging health supplements. Memory reVITALIZER* should prove to be a classic pioneer in this field.
