Overview
What Is Memory Protect?
Through normal aging factors, certain proteins in your
brain can affect memory, brain cell health and cognitive function.
Memory Protect, our most advanced memory and cognitive health support
formula, provides nutrients that help promote brain cell health and
cognitive function.
Memory Protect supports the healthy breakdown of proteins in order to support memory and cognitive health as you age.
Memory Protect Benefits
- Promotes healthy brain cell growth & communication
- Supports brain levels of glucose already within normal range
- Inhibits specific enzyme activity to support brain health
What is colostrinin?
Colostrinin is a milk peptide that promotes the
healthy breakdown of brain proteins and helps maintain cognition, memory
and mental function.
Why did we add lithium?
Lithium has exceptional properties for promoting brain health and function on both the cellular and molecular levels.
Milk Peptides Promote Cognitive Health
A colostrinin
polypeptide complex derived from milk has been studied in clinical
trials to promote cognitive wellness. Memory Protect combines these same
milk peptides with lithium to create the most comprehensive memory
health supplement we’ve ever offered.
Why Should I Supplement With Memory Protect?
Customer: I love crossword puzzles. They're part of my Sunday morning “me time.” My dad's the one who got me hooked. He's still able to solve the puzzles, but I really want to help make sure that he continues to enjoy them. So, I asked his doctor for advice on what we could do.
Michael A. Smith, MD: It's always good to speak with your doctor, especially when it comes to brain health. Studies show that as we age, proteins called beta amyloids can build up in the brain and begin to affect memory, brain cell health and cognitive function.
Customer: After we learned more, we decided to go with Life Extension’s Memory Protect.
Michael A. Smith, MD: Memory Protect is scientifically formulated to help inhibit the enzymes that can contribute to normal cognitive decline. And it encourages the natural breakdown of beta amyloid proteins. To put it simply, Life Extension’s Memory Protect promotes healthy brain cell growth and supports overall brain health.
Customer: Adding Memory Protect into dad's supplement regimen was a simple and smart choice.
Michael A. Smith, MD: Memory Protect also includes a milk peptide that encourages learning and memory—and the added lithium orotate helps with age-related cognitive decline and memory health.
Customer: Dad's been taking Memory Protect for a few weeks now. I'm glad he's mindful of caring for himself. He's even been on a winning streak during game night. Seeing him happy makes me happy.
In a healthy brain, proteins that inhibit healthy cognition and
memory are created, but they are regularly cleared through normal
processes.1 But this clearing process declines over time as
part of normal aging. When that happens, these proteins begin to
accumulate, affecting memory and cognitive function.2
Clinically studied milk peptide complex
Colostrinin is a milk peptide. Colostrinin helps inhibit molecular
mechanisms that produce unwanted brain proteins, while also maintaining
levels of the enzymes that help break them down.3
Clinical studies show colostrinin helps enhance and maintain
cognition, memory and mental function, as measured by standard medical
tests of mental performance.4-6 One of these studies found that colostrinin encouraged social function, mood and cognition.4
In an preclinical model of aging and cognitive decline, the
colostrinin polypeptide complex in Memory Protect promoted learning and
memory.7
Lithium, the brain element
Lithium, a naturally-occurring mineral, has been used to promote mood health for decades.8 It has exceptional properties for promoting brain health and function on both the cellular and molecular levels.9
Lithium is increasingly being recognized for its ability to inhibit
normal, age-related changes in the brain – it has even been called a
neuroprotectant for healthy individuals.10,11 Numerous observational studies have described lithium’s effects in enhancing and preserving cognition and memory.8
Preclinical studies indicate that lithium helps support the breakdown
of those accumulated brain proteins and promotes the brain’s normal
process for clearing cellular debris.12
Published research studies on lithium conclude that this mineral is a
valuable nutrient for encouraging healthy cognitive function and
behavior.13
