Memory reVITALIZER® is a dietary supplement that contains a synergistic combination of antioxidant amino acids, herbal extracts, minerals, and vitamins. Components of this formulation have been associated with enhanced memory performance. They are so unique that a U.S. Patent have been approved.

Memory reVITALIZER®

Things that effect human memory have fascinated me for twenty-five years. This led to scientific papers on causes and treatments of delirium after cataract surgery or heart surgery. This interest led to a classic theory paper on the causes of Alzheimer's disease. My curiosity ultimately led to tacrine (Cognex*(c)), the first FDA-approved drug for Alzheimer's disease. Although tacrine is not often used today, it did lead to a paradigm shift. People began to believe that "something" could be done about Alzheimer's.

Recently there has been growing and increasing literature on the role of aging and "oxidative injury" to the brain. This includes disorders such as Parkinson's disease, benign memory difficulties of aging, and even Alzheimer's disease. Oxidative injury to aging brains is a hot topic at annual meetings of the Society of Neuroscience. This is a basic science organization, where the subjects of research were rats and hamsters. In human research, these results have attracted little attention.

Oh yes, there was the famous study that showed favorable results with high doses vitamin E. Many doctors began suggesting this monotherapy along with the standard FDA drugs. Ginkgo Biloba has also had some favorable human research. So people began to use Ginkgo with or without the approval of their physician. The drug companies have remained quiet. They did not sponsor studies. Some major drug companies have bought the controlling interest in health supplement companies.

About six years ago, I asked the question, "What if I produced a high quality neuroceutical? What would be the ideal ingredients?" Motivated by this question, I began to research.

Memory reVITALIZER® is the answer to this question. This high potency combination neuroceutical was produced for AlzCorp in Canada. Today there are two manufacturers in Southern California. It contains more than thirty active components. Memory reVITALIZER® is unique enough that two U.S. patents are approved and a trademark issued by the US Patent and Trademark Administration.

The components of Memory reVITALIZER® are divided into four basic elements. First it is a potent general vitamin, so additional general vitamins need not be taken.

Second, Memory reVITALIZER® is 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, American Ginseng, Siberian Eleuthero, Korean Eleuthero, Gotu Kola, and grape pip. 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.

Third, Memory reVITALIZER® contains elements known to directly improve memory. These elements include phosphatidylcholine (Lecithin), and phosphatidylserine. These are phospho-mono-ester compounds. They enhance communication between cholinergic type nerve cells. Phospho-mono-ester compounds also help in the general repair and maintenance of nerve cell membranes. These effects are enhanced by alpha lipoic acid, dimethyl amino ethanol (DMAE), Gotu Kola, Ginkgo Biloba, and coenzyme Q10. Testing will be underway to confirm that Memory reVITALIZER® can actually sharpen the memory of normal people.

Fourth, Memory reVITALIZER® is an adaptogine or energine. This means that Memory reVITALIZER® has a quality that helps the body adapt to stress and fatigue. It gives energy when needed. Paradoxically, adaptogine compounds have a sedative effect when the body requires sleep. The most important component here is American Ginseng, Siberian Eleuthero, and Korean Eleuthero. Gotu Kola, DMAE, Phosphatidylcholine and Ginkgo Biloba also have adaptogine/energine properties.

In the initial sample of the Memory reVITALIZER®, I was the guinea pig. I found enhanced energy. I noticed memory effects. With Memory reVITALIZER®, I was able to complete my duties as a private physician for eight hours a day and work on the business of AlzCorp for six to eight additional hours per day with good focus.

Since open sales of Memory reVITALIZER® began in January 2003, many users have made similar positive observations. The negative reports have been three in type. One person had an allergic skin rash. One reported a headache. Several people have reported upset stomachs. Where explored, this proved to be a tip off of a problem in the stomach or small bowel. In one case, the upset stomach lead to being treated for an ulcer. In another, the patient was treated for gastroesophageal reflux syndrome. So the neuroceutical proved helpful to these two people, even when side effects were experienced.

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.

To your health!
