Choline + Uridine: Build New Neurons and Repairs Damaged Ones for Total Brain Health

It’s a fact of life, age-related memory loss affects millions of Americans. And we’re not just talking about Alzheimer’s and other age-related dementias (though we will later). We’re talking about simple forgetfulness that seems to increase as we age.

However, this inevitable decline in brainpower is not inevitable thanks to two naturally occurring compounds in your body—choline (one of the B vitamins) and uridine (a building block of RNA)—and a fascinating, naturally occurring self-maintenance system going on in your brain right now.

The trick is to support this natural self-maintenance system by “feeding” it properly. Do that, and it will support your brain function … now and as you get older.

Here’s how this system can support your brainpower … right now. Controlled studies have shown that daily administration of choline to support this self-maintenance system improved the immediate recall and attention in a group of healthy young adult men ages 19 - 38.1

Some of the most recent—and most exciting— research is being conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Five Letter For Preventing Age-Related Dementia: PS—DHA

Phosphatidylserine improves DHA's bioavailabilty to your brain

Scientists have long known that the omega 3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is vital to proper brain development and maintenance. In fact most quality infant formulas in the United States contain this vital nutrient to support infant brain development.

And phosphatidylserine (PS), approved by the FDA for two health claims related to cognitive function, is a critical constituent of brain membranes and brain-related biochemical pathways. Now scientists have found a way to mimic nature and combine these two distinct nutrients into one conjugated compound. The result, PS-DHA, duplicates nature, and this natural form of PS literally carries the vital DHA past the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) directly into the brain.
