Omegor Mind: prevention for memory loss?
I am 72 years old, hypothyroid and have a pretty good memory, but I see so many cases of memory loss. I would like to know if Omegor Mind can be helpful as a preventive measure.
Dear Roberto,
Omegor Mind is a supplement formulated with standardized and patented extract of Bocopa monnieri (Bacomind®). Its efficacy is clinically proven, and in the formulation it is offered in combination with omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, omega-6 GLA, vitamin C, zinc, and B vitamins. Some studies on the effectiveness of Bacomind have been exposed and summarized on our official page, you can find more information at this link.
Specifically, in both studies, healthy adults aged 50 to 86 years participated and were given 300 mg to 450 mg per day of Bacomind extract. After 3-6 months, positive effects were found on attention and short- and long-term memory. It also brings improvements on verbal and visual memory. In addition, the formulation is strengthened by the presence of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. More than 60 percent of our brain is made up of fat, and omega-3 fatty acids are most concentrated in the brain, particularly in the form of DHA. In fact, the action of DHA is associated with the functioning of certain brain membranes involved in transferring information or receiving visual imputs or even producing ATP (an energy chemical without which brain function would deteriorate). In fact, EFSA (European Food Safety Agency) states that DHA contributes to normal brain development, and a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA maintains normal brain function. The omega-3 fatty acid EPA, on the other hand, is involved in the regulation of numerous physiological functions and is important for overall health. In addition, in cases of hypothyroidism, a diet rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory foods, fatty fish such as sardines, mackerel, salmon, or fruits, whole grains, raw extra virgin olive oil, and many others is very useful. Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA and omega-6 GLA with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action is therefore particularly recommended. The composition of the supplement is completed with:
- vitamin C or ascorbic acid, helps protect cells from free radicals and maintain regular nervous system function.
- Zinc, an essential trace element for all forms of life. In the human body, zinc helps protect cells from oxidative stress and contributes to the efficiency of cognitive function.
- B vitamins, a group of vitamins essential for our health. Thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), vitamin B6, biotin (B8) and vitamin B12 help the regular functioning of the nervous system. Pantothenic acid (B5) contributes to efficient mental performance and reduces fatigue and tiredness. Folate (B9) supports psychological function.
Therefore, I recommend Omegor Mind as a complete formulation of all the necessary ingredients as a tonic for memory and maintenance of good brain function. The recommended dose is 2 soft capsules daily, before a main meal to better promote absorption of the active substances. I remind you that your treating physician should always be aware of your supplement intake, particularly if you are already on drug therapy.
Sincerely,
Beatrice Iozzino, pharmacist
