It's all in your head. So, take care of it.
Nowadays, people of all ages want to achieve optimal cognitive performance. However, constant stress can significantly impact our cognitive abilities, energy, and mood. It can be hard to stay sharp amidst all the noise, stressors, and demands of daily life! As a result, more and more people are looking for supplements that can help their brains cope, otherwise known as "nootropics."
Health First has developed Mémoire Suprême to support all aspects of cognitive health. It has been formulated with key ingredients to help improve memory and mental performance while achieving a calm and balanced state of mind.
Synapsa® Bacopa
Bacopa is a herb that has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine to sharpen the intellect of the young and old alike. Studies demonstrate that Bacopa can increase serotonin and GABA in the brain, thereby improving mood and inducing a state of calm, which is helpful as we all need to reduce our stress while remaining alert in these busy times!
Bacopa can also increase acetylcholine levels, which helps to counteract our 'fight-flight' stress response and put our bodies into a 'rest and digest' state. In this state, we are able to achieve a heightened level of awareness and improve our attention, perception, memory, and overall intellectual ability. Acetylcholine also plays an important role in other mental processes, including learning, motivation, and REM sleep.
Synapsa® is a patented bacopa extract that has been clinically shown to improve working memory and immediate recall in adults after only 6 weeks of use! Synapsa® has demonstrated significant performance improvements in areas such as visual processing, learning speed, working memory, assimilation power, and mental performance in cognitively demanding environments, compared to a placebo regimen.
SunPS® Phosphatidylserine
Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid and a component of all cell membranes found in high quantities in the brain, but it is difficult to obtain adequate sources from our diet, and animal studies suggest that brain levels decrease with age. Phosphatidylserine is an essential nutrient as it covers and protects our brain cells and carries messages between them.
Studies have shown that phosphatidylserine supplementation can promote improved cognitive function and behaviour, in addition to increased acetylcholine levels. Furthermore, even small amounts of supplementation (60 mg per day) can promote a healthy stress response. SunPS®, the phosphatidylserine used in Mémoire Suprême, is organic and non-GMO.
Citicoline
Citicoline is the equivalent of cytidine diphosphate choline or CDP-choline, a nutrient that has been shown to support memory in patients with age-related memory impairment, as well as the recovery of brain cells after injuries such as stroke or concussion. Citicoline also increases the production of key neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, all of which are essential for mood balance and memory.
The main component of citicoline is its cytidine group, which is what citicoline delivers to the brain. Rather than providing a single phospholipid, citicoline stimulates the brain's production of its own range of phospholipids, including phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE).
Like citicoline, phospholipids are fundamental in neurotransmitter synthesis and the proper functioning of neural cell membranes, two very important factors for healthy cognitive function.
Citicoline is ideal for people looking to boost their cognitive performance, memory, and mood, support the health and function of their brain cells due to age, and/or after a brain injury.
Lion's Mane
The lion's mane mushroom contains bioactive substances that have beneficial effects on the body, particularly on the brain, heart, and gut. Studies are promising regarding its ability to potentially increase NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), which is produced primarily in the brain and plays a key role in the function of neurons that affect attention, motivation, and memory.
Health First specifically uses the fruiting body and mycelium of lion's mane mushrooms that are grown on organic, gluten-free Canadian oats. Before being micronized, the mushrooms undergo a dehydration process that includes a steam activation step to soften and disrupt the chitinous cell wall matrix of the mushroom, thereby increasing bioavailability.
Magnesium Threonate
This specific form of magnesium has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier. A bioavailable form of magnesium for the brain, it can help improve working memory and attention.
Ongoing research demonstrates the potential of magnesium threonate to reduce the effects of brain aging. Animal studies have shown an improvement in synaptic connections, which are how our brain communicates.
Rosemary
Rosemary is a powerful antioxidant that supports the other ingredients in the Mémoire Suprême formula. It helps prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, which is essential for thought, concentration, and memory. Rosemary complements the actions of bacopa and citicoline, making it ideal for Mémoire Suprême. Rosemary is neuroprotective and helps reduce free radicals.
Health First's Mémoire Suprême
It is a uniquely formulated product containing ingredients that provide protection and support for the entire brain. It helps improve memory, assimilation power, immediate recall, and overall mental performance, while helping to achieve a balanced state of mind. The formula is vegan, gluten-free, and like all Health First products, non-GMO, free of artificial colours and flavours, and without preservatives.
