Supports memory and cognitive function while promoting parasympathetic and sympathetic balance
Supports memory and cognitive function while promoting parasympathetic and sympathetic balance.
Mentalast provides comprehensive acetylcholine (ACh) support in order to maintain healthy mental function.* Mentalast contains huperzine A from Huperzia serrata to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, thereby raising synaptic ACh levels.* Acetyl-L-carnitine and alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (α-GPC), the precursors to ACh, promote ACh synthesis.*1-4 Choline bitartrate helps prevent depletion of central ACh due to peripheral demands for choline.* Alpha-lipoic acid, along with choline bitartrate, serves as a metabolic cofactor, structure component, and free-radical scavenger5 to meet the high energy demands and protect the integrity of existing brain cells.* L-tyrosine supports norepinephrine levels and maintains balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the nervous system.* Mentalast also contains B vitamins to prevent deficiencies that can lead to an increased demand for choline,6-9 ultimately resulting in low choline and ACh levels.* Mentalast is recommended for individuals experiencing poor recall and cognitive function.*
