MEMORY SUPPORT
DHA is the primary structural component of brain tissue, so it stands to reason that a deficiency of DHA in the diet could translate into a deficiency in brain function. In fact, research is increasingly recognizing the possibility that DHA has a crucial influence on neurotransmitters in the brain, helping brain cells better communicate with each other. Asian cultures have long appreciated the brain-building effects of DHA. In Japan, DHA is considered such an important "health food" that it is used as a nutritional supplement to enrich some foods, and students frequently take DHA pills before exams. MEMORY SUPPORT
Cognitive Factors
Helps with mild memory problems associated with aging; improves absentmindedness. In studies, vinpocetine promotes healthy blood flow, glucose transport and healthy red blood cell function in the brain, maintaining optimal cognitive ability.
Furthermore, vinpocetine helps modulate sodium and calcium levels in nerve cells and exerts additional neuroprotective actions. In randomized, double-blind trials, it has been shown to stimulate mental performance and memory. Ginkgo biloba was included in this formula to provide time-tested nutritional support, enhancing benefits for the flow of oxygen and blood to the brain and promoting normal transmission of nerve impulses. Furthermore, ginkgo has the ability to support healthy capillaries and blood vessels, promote proper platelet function, and act as a free radical scavenger.
This powerful combination of vinpocetine and Ginkgo biloba provides high potential cognitive support.

Neuromins
Algae DHA is a great way for vegetarians, vegans, and people with elevated mercury levels to get their essential DHA. DHA is a major component of brain tissue.
Neuromins derived from microalgae provides the only vegetarian source of docosahexanoic acid (DHA) and contains no eicosapentaeoic acid (EPA). DHA is the primary fatty acid present in the brain and retina of the eye and is essential for mental and visual function. Adequate intake during pregnancy and lactation is especially crucial.
Each softgel contains:
Neuromins DHA Oil (derived from microalgae) 500 mg
Supplying:
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA, 22:6) 100 mg
Other Ingredients:
sunflower oil
gelatin
vitamin C
vitamin E
Contains no yeast, corn, wheat, sugar or other sweeteners, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
SUGGESTED USAGE:
Take 2 soft gels daily
Content: 60 capsules
Opti-DHA
Opti-DHA, from Douglas Laboratories®, is an omega-3 formula providing a novel ratio of DHA to EPA in an enteric-coated softgel for improved digestibility. This unique ratio is used to support cell membrane fluidity and allowing optimal communication between cells and hormones.
Studies have shown that DHA, along with EPA, may play an important role in cardiovascular health. One landmark study, the GISSI-Prevenzione Trial, involved over 11,000 people who had already survived myocardial infarction. This was the first large-scale trial that showed supplementation of essential fatty acids (specifically fish oil) significantly lowered the risk of death by myocardial infarction and stroke. This important trial used supplements with a higher ratio of DHA to EPA, which is different from most fish oils available in the marketplace. Opti-DHA contains 450 mg of DHA and 150 mg of EPA in each two enteric-coated soft gelatin capsules. The oil used in Opti-DHA is the highest quality available and has gone through an extensive molecular distillation process to ensure the best possible product.
INGREDIENTS:
Two enteric-coated softgels contain:
Marine Lipid Concentrate 1000 mg
Yielding:
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) 450 mg
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) 150 mg
SUGGESTED USAGE: Adults take 2 softgel capsules daily with meals.
QUANTITY: 60
