Press Release: "Memeron Alzheimer's Drug Offers Hope to Patients and Caregivers"
| The Memeron™ formula is based squarely on the cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease. Memeron™ works specifically on the acetylcholine neurotransmitter system. However, whereas the other acetylcholinesterase inhibitors on the market today such as Aricept (donepezil), Razadyne (galantamine alone), and Rivastigmine (Exelon) just inhibit the breakdown of acetylcholine, Memeron™ provides additional acetylcholine to the brain through acetylcholine synthesis utilizing Alpha GPC (choline alfoscerate) as a precursor. Memeron™ does the two tasks simultaneously- prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine AND supply additional acetylcholine. Its not enough simply to slow down the breakdown of acetylcholine in the Alzheimer's brain. You have to produce more through acetylcholine synthesis. Alzheimer's sufferers need additional acetylcholine pumped into their neurotransmitter system and not just prevent the breakdown of what little acetylcholine is left. -Doug Phillips, Director of Research and Development, CerebralHealth.com |
Galantamine is derived from the flowers and bulbs of the Caucasian snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis), Red Spider Lily (Lycoris radiata), and related species of plants. Galantamine is proven to be a superb naturally based medicine in the treatment of memory deficits and cognitive decline. Galantamine was originally discovered by a Bulgarian pharmacologist in the 1950's and has since been used to treat mild to moderate cases of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Since the original discovery of Galantamine's neurological benefits, researchers have learned that Galantamine is a cholinesterase inhibitor that increases the levels of active acetylcholine levels in the brain. Decreased levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine have been correlated with memory deficits and Alzheimer-type symptoms. Galantamine effectively utilizes acetylcholine in the brain to maintain healthy levels critical to memory and normal cognitive functioning.
Recent research has also indicated that cholinesterase inhibitors such as Galantamine are most effective when taken in conjunction with a strong acetylcholine precursor. Memeron™ utilizes Alpha GPC (choline alfoscerate) as a nourishing choline source that rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier to help produce additional acetylcholine for memory functions. The unique balance offered by Memeron™ ensures the brain is getting sufficient neurotransmitters and essential nutrients for sustained mental clarity.
