Memoirs™ is a unique natural herbal formula beneficial for memory enhancement and to help prevent memory decline.Memoirs™ - Recall Formula contains a combination of Ginkgo biloba, Periwinkle and Sage extracts.Ginkgo is believed to be one of the ancient trees, one of the oldest living trees on earth, used in Chinese medicine for over 5000 years. A single tree can live as long as 1,000 years and grow to a height of 120 feet. Ginkgo extract is most widely used today for memory improvement, degenerative diseases of the brain and central nervous system. It stimulates circulation and increases the body's production of adenosine triphosphate a compound that is the main source for energy at the cellular level. This boosts the brain's metabolism of glucose for energy and increases its electrical activity. Ginkgo is also a powerful antioxidant (flavonoids and terpenoids) to help prevent free radical damage to the brain and cardiovascular system. Scientific studies throughout the years tend to support these traditional uses. Ginkgo has been beneficial to persons with various dementia including Alzheimer's Disease and age related declines in brain function. Since Ginkgo opens up blood flow to the smallest tiniest blood vessels, ginkgo has been beneficial to the eyes and retina of the eyes and has also been effective for Tinnitus, ringing of the ears. There are well over 125 clinical studies done on Ginkgo. A study published in the Journal Medical Association, 202 persons with Alzheimer's disease, were given Ginkgo extract or a placebo daily. This study was supervised by Harvard Medical School and the New York Institute for Medical Research. Ginkgo treatment improved symptoms in 64 percent of those who received it and there were no reports of side effects. Periwinkle extract has been shown to thin your blood, boost circulation in your brain, and improve your brain's ability to absorb nutrients, all of which improves brain function. Various studies have found that it works as well as Ginkgo in improving memory and cognitive abilities. It has been shown in double-blind studies to help alleviate a type of dementia known as vascular dementia, in which the arteries supplying blood to the brain develop plaques restricting blood flow. Periwinkle's effect on cognitive improvement has been studied for over 25 years, mostly in Europe. A study conducted by the University of Surrey in England found significant improvements in the quality of life and cognitive performance of patients with mild to moderate dementia when given Periwinkle extract. Sage has sparked a great deal of interest in it's use as a Cognitive Enhancer on Memory and on Memory and Mental Performance in Alzheimer's Disease Patients. The herb has been shown to enhance memory and mental function in healthy, young adults as well. A Study is being currently conducted by National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) a division of the National Institute of Health (NIH) for Sage effectiveness on mild Alzheimer's disease. The key in Alzheimer's disease is an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which breaks down a chemical called acetylcholine that is typically quite deficient in Alzheimer's patients. Researchers from the Medical Plant Research Centre at the Universities of Newcastle and Northumbria in the UK have shown that Sage inhibits this destructive enzyme AChE. In 1652, herbalist Nicholas Culpepper wrote this about sage: "It also heals the memory, warming and quickening the senses." Note: Not recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking medications that affect blood coagulation (e.g. blood thinners, clotting factor replacements) as this may increase the risk of spontaneous bleeding.
