Memory Support Complex: The Natural Way to Support Memory and Cognitive Function as You Age.
Why is this important?
1. By age 55 the brain’s ability to transfer choline into the brain from the bloodstream becomes diminished.
2. This results in lower brain levels of choline, which is required to make the memory chemical acetylcholine.
3. The subsequent decline in acetylcholine leads to age-related memory loss and is also a key factor in the Alzheimer’s disease process.
4. Over the past 35 years researchers have studied ways to get more choline into the brain as people age.
5. The proven method is to supplement with a special form of choline known as CDP-choline (cytidine-5-diphosphocholine), as well as phosphatidylserine and Huperzine A (which slows down the breakdown of acetylcholine, hence raising brain concentration levels).
6. These natural agents have each been shown to reverse early- stage memory loss and in human clinical studies by increasing brain levels of acetylcholine. No drugs can increase acetylcholine synthesis, only these supplement ingredients have been shown to do this.
7. As well, the use of the Indian herb known as Bacopa monnieri has also reversed memory loss problems due to its ability to improve electrical transmission of brain impulses and quench damaging free radicals in the brain.
Adeeva Memory Support Complex contains all four of these proven memory support nutrients:
- CDP-choline
- Phosphatidylserine
- Huperzine A
- Bacopa monnieri
To prevent age-related memory loss the advice is to take one or two capsules per day of Adeeva Memory Support Complex after age 50.
In cases of early-stage memory loss patients should consider taking 2-4 capsules, twice daily, to help re-establish more optimal concentrations of acetylcholine.

Sleep-E Naturals contains four natural ingredients that worksynergistically to help improve the ability to fall asleep
Sleep-E Naturals:
Sleep-E Naturals contains four natural ingredients that work synergistically to help improve the ability to fall asleep, remain asleep and achieve a deeper renewing sleep that aids performance and immune function.
Taking melatonin alone is simply not sufficient, as melatonin does not facilitate falling asleep, but rather helps individuals achieve a deeper sleep once they are asleep. As well, taking too a high a dose of melatonin often disturbs sleep, creates vivid dreams that awaken individuals through the night and often results in morning drowsiness accompanied by decreased daytime performance and motivation.
The solution is Sleep-E Naturals, which contains low-dose melatonin, accompanied by three other natural agents that facilitate falling asleep (GABA and 5HTP), along with Bacopa monnieri, which improves memory function and helps reduce free radical damage to brain cells (the consolidation of short-term to long-term memory occurs during sleep).
What about prescription sleep aids?
4% of adults and 10% of Canadians over 65 years of age regularly take prescription sleeping medications for their insomnia and sleep disorders. Sleeping pill use increases with age and so do the associated risks — unsteadiness, falls, pneumonia, memory problems, unintentional overdoses when mixed with other medications,
dependence and withdrawal. In fact, sleeping pill use may account for up to one-third of hip fractures in people 85 and older.

Ultimate Glutathione contains four natural agents shown to boost glutathione levels
Ultimate Glutathione contains four natural agents shown to boost glutathione levels
Why is this important?
- Glutathione is considered to be the most important cellular water-soluble antioxidant.
- Glutathione levels decline with age, allowing more free radical damage to accumulate, which harms our cells, ages our body and causes genetic mutations.
- Glutathione depletion and polymorphism are also shown to contribute to the development of Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
- Glutathione is also a key detoxification (conjugating) agent in phase II detoxification reactions that occur in the liver, skin, intestinal and kidney cells. The age-related depletion in glutathione impairs the body’s ability to remove dangerous substances from the body. Various medications also deplete glutathione (most notably acetaminophen), which increase risk of liver damage and liver failure. (Acetaminophen use is the leading cause of drug-induced liver failure in this part of the world – because it depletes glutathione)
- Because glutathione is not absorbed from the gut, studies show that the way to raise glutathione in the body is by supplementing with natural agents shown to increase glutathione synthesis. These four natural agents include: N-acetylcysteine, Alpha-lipoic acid, L-Glutamine and Milk Thistle (standardized to 80 % Silymarin Flavonoid Content)
All Four of these Natural Glutathione-Raising Agents Are Found in Adeeva Ultimate GLX. In addition to supporting glutathione synthesis, these natural agents have other independent health effects of great importance, some of which include:
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid – this compound also declines with age and is required for energy production (co-factor for pyruvate dehydrogenase), in virtually all body cells. The decline in energy many people feel as they age is due to the decline in alpha-lipoic acid. Alpha-Lipoic acid (like melatonin) is a water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidant. As such, it also works with CoQ10 to help prevent damage to the mitochondrial membrane, which reduces mitochondrial damage, dysfunction and supports mitochondrial renewal (biogenesis) – a key factor in longevity and healthy life expectancy.
- N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) – this compound also acts as an antioxidant and NAC supplementation has been shown to be helpful most notably in polycystic ovarian disease and Parkinson’s disease. NAC has also been shown to help remove heavy metals from the body, due to its high sulfur content.
- L-Glutamine – supplementation with this compound has been shown to reduce upper respiratory tract infections in endurance athletes, as L-glutamine is critical for energy production in immune cells (endurance exercise depletes L-glutamine levels). Supplementation with L-glutamine has also been shown to heal the intestinal lining in many gut-related conditions, as it is a primary fuel for intestinal lining cells (intestinal epithelial cells).
- Silymarin – this compound has also been shown to strengthen the body’s immune system and supplementation with Silymarin (from Milk thistle) has saved the lives of individuals who inadvertently ate poisonous, liver-damaging mushrooms (due to its ability to raise liver glutathione levels and help repair damage to liver cells).
The Bottom Line:
Anyone who is over the age of 45 should consider taking Adeeva Ultimate GLX to prevent the age-related decline in glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid in their cells. Individuals with various liver conditions, those taking more two or more medications daily, and/or taking acetaminophen regularly, those wanting to remove some heavy metals from their body each day and individuals with other health conditions mentioned above should speak to a qualified health care professional about the use of Ultimate GLX in their case.
