PREGNENOLONE
Pregnenolone is a natural hormone made primarily in the adrenal glands, but also in the brain. Standardized supplements are produced from diosgenin found in the Mexican Wild Yam. Here are the Key Actions of Pregnenolone:
- Precursor Hormone of DHEA, Progesterone and Testosteone.
- Stimulate the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the Brain: NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors are critical for memory formation by controlling synaptic plasticity, specifically through long-term potentiation (LTP).
- Strengthens connections between neurons, which increases Cognition and Memory
- Slows Aging: Aging is associated with a decrease in production of Pregnenolone as well as the number of NMDA receptors, which may partly account for the loss of memory and onset of senility that occurs with age.
- Improves memory and clarity of thinking
- Increases General Well-being:
- Reduce feelings of depression
- Enhance alertness and awareness
L-THEANINE
L-Theanine, a water-soluble amino acid commonly found in Green Tea (Camelia sinensis). It has been widely studied for its ability to improve cognitive function and focused attention, which is believed to be affected through its modulation of alpha brain wave activity, which promotes sharp but relaxed mental activity without sedation. L-Theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier and has been shown to promote the balance of neurotransmitters, including serotonin (the calming, sleep initiating, joyful neurohormone) and dopamine (the neurohormone of motivation, satisfaction and fulfillment). Key Actions of L-Theanine include:
- Stabilization of cognitive function affected by stress hormones.
- Decreasee overproduction of cortisone levels made bystressed adrenal glands, which when elevated can inhibit spatial learning and memory formation.
- Lower stress-related blood pressure and heart rate.
- Improve attention span and reaction time in stressed or anxious individuals.
- Improved visual information processing and accuracy when multitasking (This benefit results when L-Theanine is combined with caffeine (as in my formula known as SynEnergy, which contains a natural source of Caffeine from Guarana leaf extract).
- Selectively binds to glutamate receptors to calm and lower excitotoxicity in the brain
- Enhances glutamine synthesis in intestinal cells and lowers inflammatory factors, such as TNF-αlpha during stress.
Bacopa monnieri (Bacopin™)
A recent review of 22 clinical trials demonstrated that Bacopa monnieri can improve emotional function, cognitive functions, increase mood, reduce hyperactivity, promote health sleep, reduce depression, attention deficit, learning problems, impulsivity, and increases memory retention. Specific Actions of Bacopa and its saponins Bacosides A & B include:
- Reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory chemicals and oxidative stress in the body.
- Bacosides A and B enhance synthesis of new brain neurons, replacing the worn-out ones.
- Anti-Cancer propertiesCytotoxicity to aggressive brain tumor cells
- Inhibits the growth of breast, brain, and colon cancer cells in test-tube studies (Anti-Cancer properties in Bacopa monneri Bacosides - National.Library of Medicine, 32Trusted Source, 33Trusted Source).
- Induced breast cancer cell death in animal and test-tube studies (34Trusted Source).
- Possesses high levels of antioxidants and compounds like bacosides responsible for its cancer-fighting properties (35Trusted Source).
- Increases short term memory and improves capabilities to think and reason
- Reduces fatigue, irritability, lack of concentration and insomnia
- Reduces the formation of amyloid plaques and tau tangles, which are the associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) is essential for proper energy production in the brain. Vitamin B1 deficiency is characterized by impaired mental function, inability to concentrate, irritability, agitation, sleep disturbances, lethargy, weakness, muscle pains, and paresthesia. It mimics the action of acetylcholine, the brain neurotransmitter involved in memory. Clinical trials have shown that Vitamin B1 improves mental function in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and age-related impaired mental function (senility), as well as patients with epilepsy.
DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) is a B-Vitamin like factor found to stabilize cell membranes in the brain. Senility and aging are thought to be accelerated by cross-linking of neuronal tissue. DMAE provided the following benefits to counter brain aging:
- Anti-Oxidant protection of brain tissue
- Protects neuronal membranes and important enzyme functions related to gene expression and the elimination of damaged cellular components.
- Enhances memory and cognitive function by acting as a precursor to acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for memory, learning, and mental focus.
- Improves attention, reduce memory deficits, and aid in cognitive decline related to aging or ADHD,
- Increases absolute brain "theta power" induced by mental demand and significantly increase memory and symbol recognition.
