MeMax - high
potency extra strength bacopa (brahmi).
Description
A high potency Bacopa (brahmi) formula (now with 8,000mg bacopa!) to aid memory where this is a problem related to stress and nervous anxiety.
Special benefits
MeMax contains bacosides, the active component in bacopa monnieri thought to be responsible for its nerve and brain tonic effect. MeMax may have immediate beneficial effects, however clinical studies of bacopa show the full benefits are best experienced after three months of use.
MeMax enhances memory and learning ability. It also helps to improve mental alertness, clarity, concentration and recall. It also promotes mental cognition in older adults.
MeMax helps relieve nervous tension, stress and mild anxiety.
Each tablet contains bacopa monnieri (brahmi) extract equivalent to 8g (8,000mg) dry whole plant. MeMax contains bacopa monnieri, a traditional Ayurvedic brain tonic.
Bacopa is an antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It has anti-inflammatory and mild anticonvulsant properties and also assists peripheral circulation.
MeMax is a safe hypoallergenic and natural vegan friendly formula.
BACOPA PROTECTS BRAIN FUNCTION
The use of herbal extracts to improve brain function is becoming increasingly popular and, in a study by Bhattacharya et. al, reported in Phytotherapeutic Research 14 (3), 174-9 (2000), the effects of the Ayurvedic herb Bacopa monniera (BM), also known as Brahmi, were compared with Deprenyl, and both substances were assessed as to their effect on brain chemicals associated with oxidative stress and memory function.
In the study carried out in rats, a standardised extract of Bacopa for 7, 14 or 21 days was compared with deprenyl. After 14 and 21 days of Bacopa there was an increase of Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX) in all brain areas, whereas deprenyl showed increased antioxidant activities only in the frontal cortex and the striatum. The authors suggest that the antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects of Bacopa may partly explain the cognitive-facilitating action of the herb.

Ginkgo Biloba
The Ginkgoaceae is the oldest living tree species, with fossil records date back more than 200 million years. Darwin called it a 'living fossil'. This very hardy tree, resilient to pests can live as long as 1000 years. The earliest mention of Ginkgo biloba as a medicine is found in archived medical records in China dating back to 2800 BC. It was reportedly used in respiratory ailments and for improving brain function.
Ginkgo originally came to Europe in the 1700's from China. Once widespread in North America and Europe, Ginkgo was destroyed in many regions during the Ice Age, surviving only in China. Ginkgo biloba is one of the most well researched herbs in the world. It is widely prescribed in France and Germany, figures estimate that over 5,000,000 prescriptions are written each year in Germany alone!Ginkgo biloba has recently received approval in Germany for the treatment of Alzheimers disease (240 mg daily).
In the last 30 years, more than 300 studies have shown clinical evidence that Ginkgo can both prevent and improve many problems throughout the entire body. Ginkgo is gaining recognition as a brain tonic, enhancing memory, as a result of its positive effects on the vascular system, especially in the cerebellum. It is also used for a treatment for vertigo, tinnitus, a variety of neurological diseases and circulation problems. Ginkgo may help to counteract the effects of aging, including mental fatigue and lack of energy.
In terms of blood flow, the brain is the hungriest organ of the human body. Ginkgo aids and increases the blood flow to the brain, which can result in an increase in brain function. It has been shown to increase the amount of neural transmissions and increase the number of receptor sites for neural transmission. The bio-flavonoids in Ginkgo have a stronger biological activity than most other bio-flavonoids, and have a special affinity for the capillary beds of the brain. Studies have shown that by the age of 70, blood flow to the brain is reduced by 20%. Ginkgo can help to reverse this.
Ginkgo also has the capacity to increase the oxygen content of the blood. It increases the microcirculation of the capillary beds throughout the body benefiting other organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and spleen. Numerous studies have shown that Ginkgo protects arteries, veins and capillaries from damage and also regulates their tone and elasticity. Additionally, Ginkgo directly influences circulation by reducing the stickiness of the platelets, protecting the red blood cells from free radicals and keeping them evenly dispersed.
Reduction in peripheral blood flow, a condition brought on by aging, results in a decrease in blood flow to the arms, legs, hands and feet. Conditions such as Raynard's Syndrome, numbness, intermittent claudication (pain while walking) and tingling extremities can be observed. Ginkgo can help all of these conditions by increasing the blood flow to the peripheries.
Its remarkable ability to improve peripheral circulation and therefore increase the distribution of oxygen throughout the body can lead to the following beneficial effects:-
Ginkgo biloba has gained worldwide acceptance for the treatment of many conditions, including:-
