Hi,

My mother will be 79 this year and has started to show signs of dementia, she had a stroke 30 yrs ago.

She finds it difficult to remember simple things such as post/zip codes and names, which gets her angry. She is constantly searching her mind for words to use. She can have conversations with people but then struggles to get across her opininon.

The Doctors tell her its old age.

I am looking for a stack she could take to increase her brain function, I have found a stack that contains the following daily dosage in two capsules. My worry is that some of the ingredients listed maybe very low but wondered that because they are included with other ingrediants they may be enhanced?

Cognizin® (citicoline) 250 mg Phosphatidylserine (soy-free) 50 mg Hericium Erinaceus - Lion’s Mane Mushroom 500 mg Rhodiola rosea (root) 50 mg L-Theanine 125 mg N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine 175 mg Vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) 2.5 mg Bacopa monnieri - Standardized to 45% bacosides 150 mg Pterostilbene 500 mcg Vinpocetine 6 mg Huperzine-A 200 mcg

 

Please let me know what you think and also some recommendations. Also I am in UK so do not recommend nootropics because they are now banned here.

 

 

Thank you.

I could suggest many supplements that works for my relative but I doubt you'd seriously get her to take them.

First you'd obviously want to clear her arteries since they're probably clogged. For that there's the Linus Pauling C vitamin + l-lysine protocol which does cure most cases of atherosclerosis (speaking from experience).

Secondly, you'd want something like l-carnitine, pregnenolone, nicotinic acid, and CoEnzyme q10, SAM-e, for brain and mitochondria, heart and blood vessel support.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the recommendations but you are correct, getting her to take the supplements would be a task, hence why I am looking for a pill with a combination of ingredients. The Linus Pauling looks promising but she is on medication for incontinence, so bowel tolerance with the Vit C may be problematic. I will look at the other ingredients, I could probably buy them in powder form and encapsulate them.

 

Not sure with the new current UK law on psycho active substances regarding the SAM-e.

 

Thanks again.

I find it funny that the UK allows "steroids" for personal use but doesn't allow nootropics.. Just mentally challenged lawmakers, or they're ignorant. Whatever is the case.

This one my relative used, which dropped his systolic bp (the one that is too high) from 190 to 140 in a matter of a few weeks. 
Note that he is taking a lot of things that equally reduce lipoprotein A, which is supposedly what deposits the arterial plagues, so for someone only taking the linked product it would probably take longer... or not.

Thanks for the link. In UK we can posses nootropics for personal use but we can not buy them here anymore as vendors have removed from stores and it is illeagle to import them.

You may want to look into Coconut OIl. Studies have shown that a remote area (South America?) had significantly lower health issues in general, and many of the elderly seemed to be very coherent. They wanted to understand why Westerners had such issues in their older age compared to the vast majority of people at the place they researched into. They have discovered that the underlying cause was of course due to their diet. Their diet was comprised of mostly Coconuts. Within Coconuts is MCTs or Medium-Chain Triglycerides.  Studies were further conducted on the neurological affect of MCT oil and the elderly mind in Alzheimers patients. It was a major success over time, and many people now are relying on MCT oil to help slow down the rapid progression of degradation. One theory as to why it works is that of the neurons dying off, the toxicity in the brain due to increased levels of protein or just a lack of cognitive health in general(diet) cannot provide the fuel it needs to the brain cells. MCTs offer the brain an alternative fuel source called Ketones allowing the brain to tap into an alternative fuel source whereas previously was unavailable and unable. My recommendation would be a pure form of MCT oil and Magnesium. Magnesium is responsible for over three-hundred chemical reactions, and helps as an anti-oxidant for the brain, also inhibiting 'excitotoxicity'.  My Grandfather has Alzheimers and i've been finding ways to boost his memory, but my Grandmother isn't interested. She apparently thinks i'm not smart enough to know what's best for him, and she does- so whatever.

Probably fish oil and vitamin c are good for every age.

 

 

 

another thing unrelated i have been wondering why do  some elderly people look so intense in their eyes like they are scared but at the same time angry etc

[Keizo]

something to be careful with is low blood pressure

can really mess with cognition 

so check your/their BP regularly if prescribed meds to lower it (which a lot of people will be prescribed  if they are old, to prevent stroke etc), or check it anyway.

 

supplements.... can always recommend vitamin d3. maybe glycine (5-10g i.e. 1 teaspoon) and/or magnesium (can recommend magnesiumbisglycinate) in the evening for anxiety and sleep.
