Coming to a store near you: Harvard’s anti-Alzheimer’s cocktail
Of all age-related diseases, Alzheimer’s is one of the scariest.
It causes you to lose all sense of who you are and robs you of your ability to live a healthy, independent life by killing your nerve cells and shrinking your brain.
Unfortunately, more than 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease… and most of them are 60 years or older. But whether you’re 60 or just 30, there’s no reason not to seriously consider how you can prevent or slow this fate…
Years of research has shown that there is a lot you can do to keep your brain from shrinking to avoid the ravages of Alzheimer’s. A healthy, nutrient-rich diet, for example, can do wonders in this fight — especially if you feed your brain before or during the phase that precedes full-blown Alzheimer’s known as prodromal Alzheimer’s disease.
Prodomal Alzheimer’s is a period of time in which a person may begin to experience symptoms of mild cognitive impairment. It can begin as much as 7 years prior to Alzheimer’s disease. And now, the mainstream is finally coming around to what alternative health practitioners have known for years … you can use nutrients to reverse disease and improve memory.
Those smart folks at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology stumbled onto this revelation themselves, finally, coming up with a brain-boosting cocktail of specific nutrients that may keep your brain healthy and help you hold onto your memory longer. They even developed it into a liquid nutritional supplement.
The drink, called Souvenaid, is already available in pharmacies across Europe, Brazil, Australia and the U.K.
In most of these countries, it’s also available for purchase online because they don’t have laws like the ones in the U.S. stipulating that only synthetic drugs can make claims to treat disease. Nutritional supplements cannot, even though studies have clearly shown there are nutrients that can and do have an effect on reversing the symptoms of disease.
This is a good example. Based on the results of European clinical trials, people with prodromal Alzheimer’s disease who ingested the nutrients in Souvenaid – all of them readily available as supplements – were better able to remember specific events (known as episodic memory) and had less brain shrinkage than those who didn’t.
Souvenaid appeared to be particularly effective in the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for short-term memory. The scientists believe that those who consume these nutrients regularly — and early enough — may be able to conserve memory.
Hope for Alzheimer’s patients
The anti-Alzheimer’s cocktail was created jointly by American researchers at MIT and Harvard — and contains a patented combination of nutrients researchers named “Fortasyn Connect,” which give it its brain-boosting powers.
The good news is you don’t need to buy a bottle of Souvenaid at all. You can feed your brain what it needs right now. Here’s a list of the powerful nutrients found in a bottle of Souvenaid, and you can easily purchase them – separately or in combination from available nutritional supplements – at a local health food store or nutrition store yourself:
- EPA (fish oil), 300 mg
- DHA (fish oil), 1,200 mg
- Phospholipids, 106 mg
- Choline, 40 0mg
- UMP (uridine monophosphate), 625 mg
- Vitamin E, 40 mg
- Vitamin C, 80 mg
- Selenium, 60 mcg
- Vitamin B12, 3 mcg
- Vitamin B6, 1 mg
- Folic acid, 400 mcg
Editor’s note: While you’re doing all the right things to protect your brain as you age, make sure you don’t make the mistake 38 million Americans do every day — by taking a drug that robs them of an essential brain nutrient! Click here to discover the truth about the Cholesterol Super-Brain!
