    Intro

    Thanks for downloading this special report. I truly hope you get real benefitfrom this report and that the information contained within, will put you on a

    straight path to success in all your memory and mind development goals.To make this special report as impactful and easily digestible as possible, Ihave crystallized all the latest and best information out there, into five clearly and concisely laid out sections.

    Giving you, (where applicable) the why, what, how to and what next, on eachof these five excellent and scientifically proven, brain supplements.

    It's been known for some time in medical circles, that taking brain

    supplements regularly (also referred to as mind or memory supplements) is a very good tactic to improve and preserve our memory, promote anti-aging as well as significantly help stave off cognitive decline.

    Its also a well know fact, as any doctor will tell you, that good nutrition andstress reduction are the main factors to heightened mental development.

    Food that helps memory is out there, but heres the key, by adding brainsupplements and pills that contain additional ingredients not found in food can be a very powerful tool in increasing mental ability and memory.

    As more ground breaking advances in technology aremade and our understanding of how memory and themind works deepens, ever new exciting pills and drugs are being brought to the market.

    In this report, I will lay out what in depth research andtesting has proven to be the best so far in brainsupplements that, from our understanding, offer the most

    promise for improving memory and maintaining and restoring a sharp mind.

    The Fundamentals

    Before we dive right in, lets just take a moment to get the ground fully cleared, so that were all on the same page and you can get the most out of thisreport.

    Firstly, in this special report were not going to focus on causes of loss or poormemory or discuss which supplements are bogus and bad for you and thereare a lot of bogus memory supplements out there! (please read thedisclaimer) .

    All of that is for another report. For now, its worth mentioning that loss orpoor memory can be brought about by a lot of contributing factors such asconsumption of inappropriate foods, stress and vices.

    And the vices that have the greatest effect on our recall are;

    Smoking Alcohol Activities that hinder our minds to rationalize (Think illegal

    substances here..!)

    It really goes without saying that such actions should be avoided when it comes to memory in general. Justknow, if youre indulging in these activities regularly, you will be effectively taking, One step forward & Two steps backwards , in all areas of memory andmind development.

    At the end of the day it really is up to you.

    Many recent studies into the effectiveness of brain supplements have beenroutinely conducted without monitoring or even taking this crucial lifestyleelement into consideration!

    In my opinion the final results obtained in this manner will always be fatally flawed.

    Secondly, understand that the average brain comprises of around 2% of aperson's total body weight. Yet it requires 20% of total oxygen consumptionused by the body (the heart uses 7% and the kidneys use 12%).

    However unlike muscles, your brain cannot store energy. It needs a steady flow of nutrients and oxygen to function normally. Oxygen deficiency candecrease your alertness, memory and judgment.. So getting fresh air andmaking sure you stay out of stuffy and unventilated rooms for long periods of time is also key.

    It is also estimated that the brain is approximately 85% water. Water isrequired for pretty much all bodily functions and just a slight dehydrationof 2.5% of your body weight results in approximately 25% loss in bodily efficiency! So remember to stay hydrated too!!

    By drinking good quality mineral water and oxygenating your system by regularly practicing deep breathing as opposed to shallow chest breathing, willgreatly aid your concentration and memory.

    And thirdly as touched upon earlier, diet is the crucial starting point for your

    brain and as the brain is the most important part of our bodies, then naturally it needs the best nutrients in order to function properly!

    As any top professional fitness coach will tell you, when it comes to creatingthe body of your dreams, Nutrition is King and Exercise is Queen . Nomatter how much exercise your doing, it always goes back to what youreputting into your system.

    The same applies for your brain too. If you feed it only with candy bars andother junk food you wont get much mileage from it, and you will undoubtedly experience a lot of breakdowns too.

    If you follow these simple guidelines, you will give your brain all the raw materials it needs to function at its keenest and most creative.

    Now when you add quality brain supplements into the mix, youll get the most Bang for your Bucks ! The ability to process, retain and recall informationquickly, easily and sharply for success in all areas of your life, willundoubtedly be yours.

    Disclaimer

    Please Remember, as with any supplement, you must consult amedical expert familiar with supplements before using them. Youmust fully understand what you are taking and know exactly how to takethem.

    Always purchase memory supplements made from standardized herbal

    extracts. These are produced with the highest quality and potency. Mostsupplement manufacturers do not use standardized herbal extracts because

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    5/23

    5

    they cost more. The less the cost for them to produce, the higher theirprofit margins . As stated by researchers from the University of California,Los Angeles Neuropsychiatric results can surely be dependent upon thequality of the ingredients used. Remember to that some herbal supplementsand pills are not regulated the same way as others, so only choose

    supplements that adhere to proper industry standards. As a general guideline to avoid overstimulation, especially if you suffer frominsomnia and sleep disturbances, do not take any memory supplements before bedtime, unless stated otherwise.

    Decrease the amount of any supplement you are consuming orally if you notean increase in muscular tension, in headaches, anxiety, irritability orrestlessness. Keep lowering the dosage until the symptoms disappear andcease using the product if symptoms persist even after lowering your dosage.

    Periodically stop using supplements when you are feeling the benefits of theproduct. Restart use when you feel that the benefits are no longer accessible to you to minimize how much you rely on and to prevent bodily resistance to theproduct.

    Anyone that has been affected or suffers from bipolar disorder or if you haveepileptic seizures or any history of mental disorders and mental health issues,must not take these supplements. Unless under the supervision and guidanceof a Qualified Medical Expert.

    As always, pregnant women or women who are nursing shouldrefrain from taking herbal remedies.

    1. Ginkgo Biloba

    Ok, lets start with by far the most popular alternative remedy for memory enhancement and memory problems at the moment, Ginkgo Biloba. Even if

    you're a total newbie to memory supplements, Im sure youve heard of thisone somewhere down the line.

    Originating from the Ginkgo tree, a hardy ornamental Native to Asia.Described as a "living fossil", it is the oldest living tree species known tohumankind and is the last survivor of its botanical family. Individual trees arethought to live up to 1,000 years!

    As to be expected, Ginkgo Biloba can be traced back to ancient China and thetraditions of using ginkgo to treat the brain and alleviate symptoms of coughsand allergies are well documented.

    Now thousands of years later Ginkgo Biloba herbal remedy isfast becoming one of the best memory supplements in the world!!

    Why Ginkgo Biloba?

    Through numerous scientific studies and tests, the research has shown thatGingko gives the following benefits:

    Improvement in memory power Better ability to concentrate Increased short term memory Counteracts depression Improved alertness Improves mood

    If Ginkgo Biloba's tremendous memory-boosting powers weren't enoughincentive to use it, it's also a potent antioxidant, helping to slow aging.

    Ginkgo Bilobas high antioxidant component inhibits free radicals that if uncontrolled can cause premature aging and dementia. It also helps slow down the rate at which fat deposits too. It seems to prevent cholesterol fromturning into plaque that will deposit on the arteries. This measure helpspeople to avoid stroke, which is one of the major causes of memory loss.

    Recently, researchers from University of California, Los AngelesNeuropsychiatric Institute showed that "the herbal supplement Ginkgo Bilobahas demonstrated in brain scans to improve verbal recall among people withage-related memory impairment."

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    8/23

    8

    This herbal memory remedy has been shown in clinical tests to improvememory, concentration, and retention even in Alzheimer's patients!

    How it works..

    Gingko has been double blind tested many times for its ability to improve blood flow to the brain, which in turn helps to provide the brain withadditional nutrients and oxygen (and other bodily tissues).

    It also re-establishes and enhances chemical messaging betweenneurotransmitters in the brain and thats why many people have called thismedicine a "Smart Pill" or "Brain Preserver".

    Whats the dosage?

    Ginkgo Biloba is normally taken as a standardized extract prepared from thedried leaves.

    Recommended dosage for Ginkgo Biloba per day is approximately 120 mg to240 mg a day. Some prescribe a little less, some a little more but that is agood, general guideline.

    Most researchers say that differing results found with Ginkgo Biloba couldhave more to do with the quality of Ginkgo Biloba used and the duration of studies.

    Other available forms are; Capsules, tablets, liquid extracts (tinctures, fluidextracts, glycerites) and dried leaf for teas.

    As stated previously buy only the highest quality of Gingko you can find to getthe best out of this supplement. (Please read disclaimer)

    Precautions!

    There have been no major adverse effects seen in any clinical trials of GinkgoBiloba.

    Rare minor side effects reported are mild gastrointestinal discomfort &headache. Very large doses may cause diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting &restlessness.

    If you are a working professional, it is recommended to take Gingko memory supplement under medical practitioners guidance only.

    Because it increases blood flow to the brain, if you're taking aspirin or any other type of blood thinner, consult with your doctor before taking thissupplement or any supplement for long-term use.

    Please Note: If you have a blood clotting disorder like hemophiliaor a vitamin K deficiency, you especially should talk to your doctor before using any new memory supplement or drug.

    2. Gotu Kola

    Gotu Kola extract comes from a red-flowered herb that grows in the southernUS, China, middle and southern Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and

    Australia.In India, especially in the Himalayas regions, Gotu Kola is regarded asperhaps the most spiritual of all herbs and is used by yogis to improve theirmeditation.

    The yogis believe that it develops the crown chakra, the energy centre at thetop of the head. It is also said to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which the leaf is said to resemble.

    The leaves of the Gotu Kola are a favorite food among elephants. Perhaps thisis where the age-old adage comes from "having a memory like an elephant." Sri Lankans also noticed that elephants, renowned for their longevity,munched on the leaves of the plant.

    But if it's good for elephants, is it good for humans too?

    Yes it is!

    Why Gotu Kola?

    Gotu Kola like Ginkgo Biloba is showing a great deal of promise as one of the

    best memory supplements and memory pills around. It has been attributed toa very broad range of benefits that include:

    Enhancing mental acuity Staving off memory deterioration Improving blood flow by strengthening blood vessels Improving memory

    Indeed, in the book published by Reader's Digest called "The Healing Power of Vitamins, Minerals, and Herbs" it states: "In one study, 30 developmentally

    disabled children were found to have significantly better concentration andattention after taking Gotu Kola for 12 weeks..."

    It is regarded as one of the most important rejuvenative herbs in AyurvedicMedicine and due to their popularity with elephants and elephants long lifeexpectancy, the leaves became known as a promoter of long life. It is said tofortify the immune system, both cleansing and feeding it and to strengthen theadrenals.

    Other well-documented studies report similar brain and health enhancingfindings, so how exactly does Gotu Kola work?

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    10/23

    10

    How it Works..

    Like Ginkgo Biloba this herb increase the blood flow to the brain. In fact GotuKola has a positive effect on the entire circulatory system. Not only does itimprov blood flow but strengthens the veins and capillaries too.

    According to modern studies, Gotu Kola does offer support for healthy memory function. Preliminary results in one clinical trial with mentally retarded children, was shown to increase all scores on intelligence tests.

    Whilst primarily helping memory function, this versatile herb also helps buildconnective tissue.

    According to pharmacological studies, one outcome of Gotu Kola's complexactions is a balanced effect on cells and tissues participating in the process of healing.

    In particular one of its constituents, Asiaticoside , is responsible forstimulating skin repair and strengthen skin, hair, nails as well as connectivetissue.

    The list doesnt stop there its been used as a pure blood tonic as well as apromoter of restful sleep. It's even been used to help those with cirrhosis of the liver!!

    Whats The Dosage?

    Gotu kola is available in teas and as dried herbs, tinctures, capsules, tablets,and ointments. Products should always be stored in a cool, dry place and used before the expiration date on the label.

    The adult dosage of Gotu Kola varies depending on the condition beingtreated. Your health care provider can help you choose the right dose for you.

    The standard dose of Gotu Kola varies depending on the preparation. Moststudies have used standardized extracts:

    Dried herb ~ you can make a tea of the dried leaf, three times daily.

    Powdered herb (available in capsules) ~ 1,000 - 4,000 mg, three timesa day Tincture (1:2 w/v, 30% alcohol) 30 - 60 drops (equivalent to 1.5 - 3 mL

    ~ there are 5 mL in a teaspoon ), three times daily. Standardized extract ~ 50 - 250 mg, two to three times daily.

    Standardized extracts should contain 40% asiaticoside , 29 - 30%asiatic acid , 29 - 30% madecassic acid , and 1 - 2% madecassoside .

    People older than 65 should take a lower than standard dose of Gotu Kola.

    It really is best to get your health care provider to help you determine the rightdose for you, which can be increased slowly over time.

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    11/23

    11

    Both Ginkgo Biloba extract and Gotu Kola are well tolerated when takenorally. They work well together and seem to promote and increase the healingproperties of one another. Everyones a winner here!

    Precautions!It's best not to use Gotu Kola for more than 6 weeks without talking to yourdoctor. You may need to take a 2-week break before taking the herb again.

    Side effects are rare but may include skin allergy and burning sensations (withexternal use), headache, stomach upset, nausea, dizziness, and extremedrowsiness. These side effects tend to occur with high doses of Gotu Kola.

    If you are the kind of person who burns easily in the sun, take extraprecautions as Gotu kola can cause sensitivity to sunlight in some individuals.

    People with liver disease, or who take medications that affect the liver, shouldnot take Gotu Kola.

    Anyone with a history of precancerous or cancerous skin lesions -- such assquamous cell, basal cell skin cancer, or melanoma should not use Gotu Kola

    Gotu Kola is not recommended for children and anyone under the age of 18 years old.

    Please note: Gotu kola is often confused with kola nut. Due to this confusion,

    some people assume the rejuvenating properties of Gotu Kola are due to thestimulating effects of caffeine contained in kola nut. Gotu Kola is not related to kola nut and contains no caffeine.

    3 Phosphatidylserine (PS)

    Unlike many supplements, this substance has been tested extensively on both

    healthy as well as memory-impaired adults. Phosphatidylserine or itsabbreviated name PS, has consistently shown itself to both improve memory and concentration without the serious side effects that so characterize many of todays drugs.

    In its natural form, Phosphatidylserine is a specialized lipid that occursnaturally in the body and in foods too. It is a necessary component to regulatethe function of all cells in our bodies and is found in its highest concentrationin the brain.

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    12/23

    12

    Why Take it?

    This plant-derived substance can improve the quality of your life by improvingthe following areas:

    Strengthen your memory Increase vigilance and attention Boost learning Increase mental acuity Intensify your concentration Relieve depression and improve mood Inhibit stress & exercise induced increases in Cortisol Decrease stress ( whether youre young or old)

    Because of stress, aging, and our modern eating habits and food-production

    methods, modern low-fat and low-cholesterol diets lack up to 150 mg per day of dietary Phosphatidylserine. Some vegetarian diets may undersupply asmuch as 200 to 250 mg per day.

    Other eating styles also create a demand for more Phosphatidylserine. Forexample, a diet lacking in omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the amount of Phosphatidylserine in the brain by 28% and as a result impair your brain'sability to form, store, process and remember..!

    To make matters worse, modern industrial production of fats and oilsdecreases all of the natural phospholipids (including Phosphatidylserine)naturally found in them.

    How it works..

    This remarkable substance works by enabling your brain cells to metabolizeglucose and to release and bind with neurotransmitters, all of which isimportant to learning, memory and other cognitive functions.

    Scientific studies demonstrate that Phosphatidylserine restores the brain'ssupply and output of acetylcholine , the specific neurotransmitter that is sooo important to memory, and so may even turn back the clock in an aging brain!

    We also know that Phosphatidylserine is important in bone matrix formation,testicular function, beat coordination of the heart, hormone secretion by theadrenal glands and cell repair and removal by the immune system.

    Studies examining athletes involved in cycling, weight training and endurancerunning now show that Phosphatidylserine can speed recovery, preventmuscle soreness and help athletes to feel their best during intense training.

    Modern science has only really begun to understand how importantPhosphatidylserine is to our bodies. After all, it's present in every type of cellin our body and the membrane proteins that it activates are important in all

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    13/23

    13

    cells. But without a shadow of a doubt it's certainly a great memory-enhancingdrug.

    Whats the Dosage?

    Phosphatidylserine is a safe nutritional supplement if taken up to a dosage of 200 mg, three times daily.

    Precautions!

    With the exception of mild stomach upset, few side effects have been reported.

    However, due concerns over Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease), supplements are no longer derived from bovine cortex. Instead, thisnutrient is now extracted from soy. Soy-derived PS (S-PS) is generally

    recognized as safe.There are also natural food sources of Phosphatidylserine. Those with thehighest concentration include mackerel, herring, tuna, soft-shelled clams,chicken, liver, and white beans

    Note: PS is most abundant in the brain and in innards such as liver and kidney. Only small amounts of PS can be found in dairy products or invegetables, with the exception of white beans

    4. Piracetam

    Piracetam was the first to awake the world to Smart Drugs, or Nootropics,and their ability to improve key brain functions such as memory, attentionand intelligence.

    The drug was developed in the 1960s by a Belgian team led by Dr CorneliuGiurgea. It was Dr Corneliu who coined the word Nootropic taken from the

    Greek word meaning acting on or towards the mind. Piracetam itself has been described as a drug that wakes up your brain.

    Today commonly found under the brand name Nootropil, Piracetam has beena revolutionary drug - both as a cognitive enhancer and for delivering benefits with virtually no side effects and toxicity!

    As the first true brain boosting Smart Drug, Piracetam has earned a uniqueplace in medical history.

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    14/23

    14

    Why Piracetam?

    Originally prescribed as a motion sickness aid, Piracetam has been shown tosignificantly improve age-related memory problems, even with those withdementia or Alzheimer's disease!

    It also helps with improving chronic cerebral ischemia, or decreased brain blood flow.

    Again its worth mentioning, the main reason I have included it in my top five,is that it doesn't have any serious side effects or contain any toxic or addictiveproperties!! There are very few drugs that can make that claim.

    Today it is renowned as a drug that:

    Improves learning and concentration. Improves intelligence across all age groups, benefiting both young and

    old alike. Sharpens the mental performance of older people with age-related

    problems such as forgetfulness Improves IQ amongst elderly psychiatric patients Enhances alertness

    In addition, Piracetam has been used effectively in the treatment of Parkinsons disease, myoclonus (severe muscle spasms), sickle cell anaemiaand Reynauds syndrome, a condition that causes the blood vessels in thefingers and toes to go into spasm.

    The drug has helped people with dyslexia to increase memory and verballearning skills, as well as the speed and accuracy of reading, writing andspelling.

    The drug has also been used to combat hypoxia related to dangerous jobs oraltitude, such as mountaineering and the effects of reduced oxygen levelsduring climbs.

    As you can see Piracetam is a bit of an all rounder to say the least. Covering a vast and varied array of conditions, its role as a key drug in anti-aging,preventative medicine, medical treatment and mental performance is now clear.

    How it works..

    Piracetam (Nootropil) stimulates the central nervous system to improvecognitive functions including memory, attention and intelligence.

    By stimulating the bodys central nervous system, the brains maincommunications network, the Corpus Callosum is noticeably bolstered.

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    15/23

    15

    The Corpus Callosum consists of millions of nerve fibers, connecting the brains two hemispheres and linking our logical and creative sides.

    Enlivening these links enables us to draw on greater brain potential. Helpingour brains to work more effectively and delaying, or even reversing , the

    impact of time and disease on our grey matter. These have been the key usesfor Piracetam at the moment.

    Mental performance in older people, senior citizens that are generally in goodhealth but experiencing everyday age related issues such as forgetfulness, has been shown to be boosted by Piracetam.

    In a further test by Chouinard, elderly psychiatric patients showed signs of enhanced alertness, co-operation, socialisation and IQ with the drug.

    Although Piracetam has earned an enviable reputation in the anti-aging arena,research has revealed its potency to help not just the elderly but people of allages!

    A groundbreaking study by Diamond and Brouwers, which involved studentsin good physical and mental shape taking Piracetam, underlined its benefits tothe young. The authors concluded:

    The fact is that Piracetam improves verbal learning and appears to be asubstance capable of extending the intellectual functions of man, even inindividuals gifted with high intelligence and good memory.

    Whats the dosage?

    A common starting dose is to take three 800mg tablets twice a day, loweringto one or two tablets twice a day after a month.

    The effect of Piracetam can be increased if taken with the brain nutritionalproducts DMAE (short for Dimethylaminoethanol, see section 5 ),Centrophenoxine, Choline or Hydergine .

    Precautions!

    Mild side effects include insomnia, nausea, headaches, tremors, nervousness,etc.. Sounds a little worrying but the severity of these side effects have beenreported as mild.

    Piracetam is not a nutritional supplement but a prescribed drug. It isavailable online however it must be prescribed by a doctor.

    All in all, a very encouraging reports. This one's a keeper.

    5. Omega 3 Supplements & D.M.A.E

    Omega 3 , one of the oldest and still one of the best! Used forgenerations, in fact, my grandmother first gave it to me, whoswore by it health benefits.. plus its also very affordable!!

    Why Omega 3 ?

    Ok, Omega 3 fish oil supplements are not memory supplements per se. However, this versatile supplement is pound for poundthe most capable nutritional supplement in the world.

    Omega 3 fish oils are truly fantastic overall for mental health and wellbeing, soit should be in your arsenal of regularly used memory supplements.

    There are many health benefits of Omega 3 fish oil supplements but the key brain reasons include:

    Reducing blood pressure Lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels Improved memory Overall improved brain functioning and performance

    How it works..

    Studies have shown the fatty acid, DHA, are the primary precursor forimproved brain and heart function in Omega 3 supplements. DHA and EPA (also found in the supplement) build healthy nerve tissue and promotememory and cognitive function.

    They not only help your brain function well but also limit the severity of manic-depressive episodes in those thus afflicted.

    If your budget is tight and you want to optimize your supplements, considerfish oil supplements.

    Whats The Dosage?

    Around 500 mg (1/2 gram) minimum of EPA and DHA a day for healthy people, and around 1000 mg (1 gram) a day for known heart disease patients,perhaps double for lowering triglycerides.

    The best fish oil supplements contain 280 mg of DHA and 120 mg of EPA percapsule. (Thats more than double the normal amount of DHA in mostaverage capsules). A total of 400mg of DHA and EPA.

  • 8/6/2019 Brain Supplements 2

    17/23

    17

    So 2 capsules a day will give you 800 mg in total and the recommendeddosage for adult happens to be 2 capsules a day. Other fish oil supplementsmay require you to take 4 or 5 or more capsules, depending on the quantity of Omega 3 fats in those capsules.

    However if you take fish oil in its liquid form you can get nearly three times asmuch DHA and EPA. Its not uncommon to see listed on the ingredients of codliver oil bottles, DHA & EPA amounts totalling 1000mg in every spoonful!

    Precautions!

    None! Just remember to make sure your fish oil supplement has DHA overEPA and make sure your fish oil pills are molecularly distilled. This ensuresthat its free of contaminants.

    Also look for memory boosting pills that are made from deep-water fish likethe hoki.

    This one's definitely a keeper too!!

    DMAE

    Ive included DMAE and omega 3 supplements together because DMAE is anaturally occurring nutrient found in high concentrations in fish.

    DMAE is an acronym for a metabolite identified as mentioned earlierdimethylaminoethenol , a natural chemical in the body that is a by-product of the metabolic process. And its one of the most powerful memory supplementsthat most people aren't even aware exists!!

    Why DMAE?

    DMAE can

    Elevate one's mood Counter depression Boost cognitive functions (such as memory and concentration), Increase intelligence.

    And again the great thing about them, there is no known side effects withDMAE!

    Research has revealed that DMAE can be used to minimize damage todeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), to stimulate memory and superior brainfunctioning, to improve immunological functions and to improve one'sdigestive functions and basically extend one's life span.. Not bad eh!

    DMAE also can be taken to improve the condition of one's heart, to treatattention deficit disorder, to increase one's energy levels and to improve thecondition of one's skin.

    How It Works..

    DMAE benefits stem from this nutrient's role in manufacturing Acetylcholine ,the crucial neurotransmitter that is responsible for healthy mentalfunctioning.

    Indeed, Acetylcholine's main role is in acting as the messenger for memory,and has been shown to be severely depleted in those afflicted with Alzheimers

    In that respect it similar to Phosphatidylserine, which restores the brain'ssupply and output of Acetylcholine .

    Whats the dosage?

    There are several methods for taking DMAE, all of which prove simple.

    First of all decide whether you will use a DMAE serum or an oral product;refrain from using both products at the same time.

    Start using DMAE slowly and increase your dosage over a period of time whenusing DMAE capsules;

    Begin with a dosage of 100 milligrams per day. Add more DMAE supplements to your intake every couple of days after

    testing how the DMAE makes you feel. Document any effects you receive from the DMAE capsules when you

    begin to take them Note if there are positive effects on your memory, on your

    immunological defences, on your skin and on how you feel in general. Increase the dosage every couple of days, working up to 400

    milligrams, if no improvements are noted.

    Keep your DMAE dosages to above 100 milligrams to improve your memory

    as lower doses do not have an effect on one's memory. You can take as much as 400 milligrams of DMAE each day to increase yourmemory and to enhance your level of alertness

    What I really like about DMAE, infact with most of these five supplements inthis special report, is that they work well together. Like Ginkgo Biloba andGotu Kola, DMAE works well with Omega 3 and Piracetam. Beautiful..

    Precautions!

    Some general guidelines use DMAE before breakfast and lunch to avoid issues with insomnia and sleep disturbances; do not take DMAE before dinner or before bedtime so that you can avoid overstimulation.

    Decrease the amount of DMAE you are consuming orally if you note anincrease in muscular tension, in headaches, anxiety, irritability, restlessnessor stiffness in your neck, shoulders and/or jaw.

    Keep lowering the dosage until the symptoms disappear and cease using theproduct if symptoms persist even after lowering your DMAE dosage.

    Periodically stop using DMAE when you are feeling the benefits of theproduct. You can restart use when you feel that the benefits are no longeraccessible to you to minimize how much DMAE you rely on and to prevent bodily resistance to the product

    If you have bipolar disorder or if you have epileptic seizures, you should notuse DMAE, as the product can over stimulate your brain and induce episodesof mania or seizures. DMAE also can intensify depression ; if you aresuffering from major depression, or depression associated with bipolardisorder, avoid taking this product.

    Please Note: Acetylcholine cannot be produced by DMAE alone; the presenceof some B vitamins -- like Vitamin B5, Biotin, and Folic Acid, aids in the production of DMAE.

    whereas most people believed that it only stimulated our bodies, specifically our heartbeat and metabolism.

    Coffee rich in caffeine also helps your brain to focus, by giving it that extraspark it needs to retain and process extra information quickly.

    Just ask any working professional going to work in the mourning or studentstudying for his or hers final exams the night before.

    If you happen to suffer from memory loss or just a poor memory think about testing caffeinefor its mind benefits as it could be just thething you need to give your brain that extra boost to clear things up.

    However my advice is to always choose greentea instead of coffee for your source of caffeine, as green tea is an excellentsource of antioxidant. All antioxidants are excellent brain preservers andenhancers, which help fight free radicals, and they can also enhance the flow of oxygen throughout the brain and the body.

    Along with some black teas, green tea appears to have the best overall effectof greatly boosting a person's ability to remember and overall health. So with agood hit of caffeine and large dose of antioxidant in every cup of green tea. You get the best of both worlds. Everyones a winner!

    ~~~~~~~~

    But did you also know that according to numerous scientific studies, dark chocolate (not the milk chocolate variety) is actually good for your brain andcirculatory system?

    As well as small doses of caffeine found in it,dark chocolate is also full of flavonoids, whichis also an antioxidant. It just so happensGinkgo Biloba is also rich in the antioxidantflavonoids too! Starting to see the connectionhere..?

    Now its those flavanols in chocolate that are supposedly good for your heart,scientists also now claim increases blood flow to the brain, especially in theareas of the brain that control alertness.

    According to the Journal of Medicinal Food, chocolate is one of the richestsources of magnesium a mineral essential for brain health. Research at theSalk Institute in California also say that a chemical found in chocolateepicatechin is also found in cocoa, tea, grapes and blueberries and theresearchers believe it improves the blood flow in the brain too, especially incombination with extra exercise.

    With all this increased blood flow to the brain from chocolate, research doneat the Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia suggests, chocolate can boost memory, attention span, reaction time and problem solving.

    Chocolate is something that I really enjoy and a piece of dark chocolate canhave large influence on the mid afternoon lull that many people experience.Taking a break by walking to your local coffee shop and eating a piece of chocolate can significantly boost your brain for the rest of the day.

    But remember, it has to be Dark and 85% real cocoa to get any real benefits.

    Ok not everybodys cup of green tea but if you get really good quality, smooth,rich dark chocolate, your taste bud will soon start to enjoy savouring the tasteof real chocolate rather than just the sugar, fat and milk found in white andmilk chocolate.

    So, my friend, bring on the flavonoids! If you have to take a test, before youdo, get yourself a powerful dose of focused brain fuel in the form of a cup of green tea and a few squares of Dark organic chocolate and youll beunstoppable!
