Hi, Red Devil

Looks like your wife wants you to stay healthy. Garlic for heart and cholesterol, Ginko for your noggin and Multi for "if-you-dont-know-what".

If you visit those english pubs, may I recommend "Milk Thistle" for liver... It keeps those high meat eaters in shape.

 

Q-10 is very expensive. Vinpocetine and Choline work just as good for memory. I take Q-10 once in a while just in case.

 

Bobby Lee:

There are two types of chemicals that can help in memory problems.

1. That works to increase blood circulation in the brain such as: Ginko, Vinpocetine, Huperzine A, Gotu Kola, There may be others.

2. That increases the neurotransmitter: like Choline, Phosphotidyl Serine (sp?), Lecithin etc.

Using a cocktail of protein powder and lecithin mixed in fruit juice will work just as good.

For serious problems, a doctor can prescribe products such as Piracetam, Aricept and similar drugs.
