The Natrol Memory Complex is quite good, and was what
I had thought of giving my demented father in the nursing home.

Huperzine A, phosphatidylserine and vinpocetine have all been
tried at one time or another on Alzheimer's patients.

Note that the ginkgo dose is quite high, however, and it has been
known to cause bleeding disorders as well as high blood pressure
in some people.

Livewell's Memosential is also another one which I had been
urging my siblings to give him (nobody listens to me, however).

You can try the Memosential above.

ALCAR AND PS are two brain nutrients well known
as nootropics amongst life extensionists. As far as I know,
Livewell is the only one who has brought in ALCAR here.

ALCAR wasn't even available in the US two decades ago, and
they had to order it at high cost from Europe then. I've given it
to my father before.

It's now a common supplement, along with PS, in health food
stores there. They have a better form now, acetyl l-carnitine arginate
(ALCA).

http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/dec200...p_acetyl_01.htm


I have Jarrow's CarnitALL on my office table, which includes ALCA
and was supposed to have been given to my father long ago, but
I can't get it past my brother.


Anyone familiar with life extension will automatically include
ALCAR in a protocol for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
You can read Annetta Freeman's protocol for her own Parkinson's here.

http://www.ceri.com/annett4.htm

Other well known brain supplements -

Citicholine, or CDP choline
Alpha GPC
The racetams - piracetam, aniracetam, pramiracetam, oxiracetam

http://www.longecity.org/forum/topic/27369...s-pramiracetam/


http://www.iherb.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Citic...-Capsules/27417


Here's one which you can order, with CDP choline, ALCAR and PS.

http://www.iherb.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Neuro...20-Capsules/350


First of all, you should have a good base to start off with.

Get a good B-complex formula first, vital for good brain function,
or a multivit with a fair amount of B vitamins.


Livewell's Dailysential 45+ is a good one here. Since it lacks
calcium and magnesium, complement it with Ostecal. You can
get them at any pharmacy.

Are you feeling tired / sleepy all the while during lecture time? If yes, then is not something about the brain problem. It could be your lifestyle problem i.e always sleep late causing the problem of yr liver to do the process of detoxification, or lack of sufficient nutrients in order for your body cells to function properly. You may check if your have yellowish eyes (i mean the white part). My brother used to be in this case and after fren's recommendation on the quality supplements, he is now changed better rclxm9.gif

Don;t forget fish oil high in DHA

Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is essential for the growth and functional development of the brain in infants. DHA is also required for maintenance of normal brain function in adults. The inclusion of plentiful DHA in the diet improves learning ability, whereas deficiencies of DHA are associated with deficits in learning. DHA is taken up by the brain in preference to other fatty acids. The turnover of DHA in the brain is very fast, more so than is generally realized. The visual acuity of healthy, full-term, formula-fed infants is increased when their formula includes DHA. During the last 50 years, many infants have been fed formula diets lacking DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids. DHA deficiencies are associated with foetal alcohol syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cystic fibrosis, phenylketonuria, unipolar depression, aggressive hostility, and adrenoleukodystrophy. Decreases in DHA in the brain are associated with cognitive decline during aging and with onset of sporadic Alzheimer disease. The leading cause of death in western nations is cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological studies have shown a strong correlation between fish consumption and reduction in sudden death from myocardial infarction. The reduction is approximately 50% with 200 mg day(-1)of DHA from fish. DHA is the active component in fish. Not only does fish oil reduce triglycerides in the blood and decrease thrombosis, but it also prevents cardiac arrhythmias. The association of DHA deficiency with depression is the reason for the robust positive correlation between depression and myocardial infarction. Patients with cardiovascular disease or Type II diabetes are often advised to adopt a low-fat diet with a high proportion of carbohydrate. A study with women shows that this type of diet increases plasma triglycerides and the severity of Type II diabetes and coronary heart disease. DHA is present in fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel) and mother's milk. DHA is present at low levels in meat and eggs, but is not usually present in infant formulas. EPA, another long-chain n-3 fatty acid, is also present in fatty fish. The shorter chain n-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, is not converted very well to DHA in man. These longchain n-3 fatty acids (also known as omega-3 fatty acids) are now becoming available in some foods, especially infant formula and eggs in Europe and Japan. Fish oil decreases the proliferation of tumour cells, whereas arachidonic acid, a longchain n-6 fatty acid, increases their proliferation. These opposite effects are also seen with inflammation, particularly with rheumatoid arthritis, and with asthma. DHA has a positive effect on diseases such as hypertension, arthritis, atherosclerosis, depression, adult-onset diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, thrombosis, and some cancers.

Are those supplements safe in the long run? I mean will our brain get too used to that until when we stop eating those, its condition will be worse than it previously was? icon_question.gif

Hi all,
I am new here.
Read the thread with lots of interest and i believe many of them have a pronounce effect to ones.

Anyway, just like to share something i am experiencing. Have you heard of Laminine before ? There are testimonials that it even reverse the effect of Alzheimer and Parkinson. Also makes you feel alert and focus. It all got to do with the amino acids and protein in your body. Have a look at this site http://ifv8.com/zul/1

Why do you start this thread and ask this question if you are so afraid ?

If you have so much fear, then the best is to play safe and not
take anything at all.

Apart from the racetams, and the choline-based nootropics
aggravating gastric ulcers, you can go ahead and try them.
They are just supplements.

Many life extensionists take "smart" DRUGS as nootropics,
including me. If you go to the Immortality Institute's supplements
and nootropics subforums (and I urge you to join in if you want
to learn more about nootropics), you will come across many of them
taking modafinil, aniracetam, pramiracetam, oxiracetam, piracetam,
CDP choline, alpha GPC, DMAE, Huperzine A, vinpocetine,
selegiline (Parkinson's drug) and even donepezil (Alzheimer's drug).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modafinil


Indeed, they take them as "stacks", i.e. combined together as a regimen.
You will also find these "stackers" in nootropic forums all over the world.

Those guys in the Brainmeta forum are particularly hard-core stackers.

I am far more conservative (and also have a far smaller wallet), but
have taken at one time or another these drugs and supplements -

Piracetam
Hydergine
Selegiline
ALCAR
ALA
Jarrow's CarnitALL (bought for my father, but now on my office table
because I cannot get it past my elder brother, who has never heard
of life extension, to my father in the nursing home ) -
comprising ALCAR, ALCA, l-carnitine fumarate, ALCAR taurinate, GPLC.

http://www.jarrow.com/product.php?prodid=190


CDP choline is classified as a drug in Europe for strokes.
It is now found all over health food stores in the States.
It is the first one I would bring in for my post-stroke demented
91-year old father in the nursing home, if I had a free hand.

http://www.jarrow.com/product.php?prodid=288


My father has managed to make it to this age because at one time or
another years ago, before he was institutionalized and when he lived
with me, I was pumping him on the following :

Basic multivitamin/mineral
ALCAR
ALA
Hydergine
Piracetam
Hijuven (vitamin E nicotinate)
APG lysine (growth hormone releaser)
Cod liver oil
Hawthorn extract
Coenzyme Q10
Ribose
Magnesium malate
Grape seed extract
