Best supplements to improve your memory

We represent the best memory supplements to your attention. Here they are:

Ginkgo Biloba

Nowadays, Ginkgo biloba is gaining more and more popularity among people. This great plant has been used by both ancient and modern civilizations, thanks to the excellent effects and useful power it has. In fact, this is a large tree, and the leaves are its useable parts. Well, Ginkgo biloba is perfect for blood circulation – it greatly contributes to the blood flow increase to the brain, thus serving as an excellent means necessary for the brain and mind health. You can find a number of options of this plant to buy. They are represented by different companies at different prices. Usually, companies use cheaper and less productive types of this herb, and besides, they use less amount of this herb in their products than is needed.

So, if you wish to enjoy its effects to the greatest extent, you’d better buy its leaves, and make tea from them yourself.

As for buying Ginkgo biloba, you can find its leaves in bulks or purchased locally. Anyway, you need to get the green leaves of the herb and not the brown ones, which are of poorer quality indeed. To make tea, all you need is to place the leaves into some hot water, and wait for some minutes, as you do when preparing any kind of tea, and that’s all!

Choline

Being one of the components of the compound known as acetylcholine, choline is considered to be one of the most necessary nutrients used for keeping healthy brain. As for acetylcholine, it plays an immense role as a neurotransmitter. Moreover, choline is one of the most important components in other compounds carrying a crucial role in this concern, and also in the process of signaling the muscle tissue from the part of the nervous system. Therefore, it is highly recommended to consume choline as a supplement, whenever foods, enriched with it, are not available to provide the required amount of choline for your organism.

Choline can be found in not so many food sources; it can be found in the form of salts, and as phosphatidyl choline (containing 13% coline) serving as a precursor for it. So, if you need to get 100mg of choline, you should take 769mg. of this supplement.

As far as the daily dosage is concerned, adolescent and adult males should take about 550mg of choline, and women – from 400 up to 425mg.

Well, let’s look at the approximate amounts of actual choline extracted from the phosphatidyl one – 355 mg per 3 oz serving (various types of liver), 172 mg a cup (wheat germ), 155 mg each (eggs – depending upon size), 71 mg per 3 oz serving (cod), 56 mg per 3 oz serving (salmon).

Now, let’s find out what side effects choline may cause when being consumed. Well, if you take 7.5-16 grams or more of choline salts, you may face fishy body odor, vomiting, increase in sweating, and also low blood pressure effects. Supplements with phosphatidyl choline are less prone to provide such side effects: the majority of food contains this form of choline.

Phosphatidyl Serine

Another excellent component necessary for the effective interaction between cells in the brain is the phosphatidyl serine. For the synthesis of this nutrient in the organism, we need to take the required amount of folate, vitamin b-12, omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. In order to get the basic source of it, you should look for soybeans.

Now, let’s see where folate, vitamin B-12 and essential fatty acids can be found.

Folate can be found in liver (chicken, beef liver), soybeans, beans, chickpeas, spinach, avocado, wheat germs.

As for the sources of vitamin B-12, it can be found in beef liver (very high level), salmon (mid level), trout (mid level), other kinds of fish (low level), and fortified foods.

Basic fatty acids can be found in fish, fish oil, flax seeds, flax oil, canola oil, avocado
