Procera AVH uses
three clinically validated ingredients, in a proprietary formula, to
help increase your mental performance, naturally. These ingredients are
supported by Procera AVH's landmark clinical trial, and in addition
each ingredient is at or above the dosage levels proven to be safe and
effective, with over 50 years of cognitive research suport.
Vinpocetine (VIN)
is a natural extract of the beautiful periwinkle flower, vinca minor.
It increases cerebral vascular blood flow, thus enhancing the flow of
nutrients, oxygen, glucose and neurotransmitter substrates, e.g.,
choline to the brain.
VIN has been shown
to improve memory and brain processing speed. It also increases brain
glucose metabolism and increases the mitochondria's generation ATP,
which improves brain energy as well as mood, memory and other mental
functions. It is also a powerful anti-oxidant, and neuro-protective
agent that has been shown to protect brain cells against the chronic
age-related reduction in oxygen levels and the acute and sudden loss of
oxygen, such as after a stroke. VIN also protects the brain from
imbalances in calcium regulation, or calcium overload which is another
major cause of cognitive decline and brain dysfunction with age.
Huperzine A (HUP)
is derived from Chinese Club Moss (Huperia serrata). It's a natural
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. AChE is the enzyme that destroys
acetylcholine in the synapse before it's effectively used to
communicate your thoughts, feelings and memories.
HUP
helps keep your acetylcholine levels up, so your synapses fire fast and
efficiently. HUP has been shown to improve memory, protect brain cells
both from free radical and glutamate "excitotoxicity", a highly
damaging condition found in accelerated brain aging and Alzheimer's.
HUP also stimulates the acetylcholine receptors making them more
sensitive to existing levels of ACh. HUP may also act as a brain
metabolic enhancer.
Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC)
is perhaps the one true miracle molecule, especially for your brain
(and heart). ALC is naturally found in the brain and body. Its main
dietary source is red meat, although you'd have to eat over 50lbs. a
day to get enough for improved mental performance. ALC has multiple
roles in the protection, preservation and performance of your brain
cells. It increases brain blood flow as well as the synthesis and
utilization of acetylcholine (ACh), a key neurotransmitter for mental
clarity, memory and focus. It improves the energy output of your
mitochondria, helps stabilize the neural membrane, and protects both
from free radical damage.
ALC has been
shown to protect the brain even after a head injury or stroke, and it
helps accelerate the healing of damaged neurons. It's believed to help
remove a serious brain damaging plaque, a dark pigment called
lipofuscin. ALC also increases levels of glutathione, perhaps the
brain's most important anti-oxidant. ALC has also been shown to
increase levels of nerve growth factor thus stimulating the growth of
new neurons, synapses and their interconnecting wires�, called axons
and dendrites. In fact, ALC appears to rejuvenate the brain and,
especially when combined with alpha lipoic acid (see below) it may
significantly slow brain aging, especially in the mitochondria. And, it
helps protect the brain and liver from the harmful by-products of
alcohol. Dozens of clinical studies have demonstrated ALC's powerful
effect on improving mental clarity, focus and memory, in reducing
depression, and boosting processing speed and cognitive function, in
both normal and cognitively impaired individuals.
