Researchers found that Cognizin signif icant ly increased

Cogniz in C i t icol ine also promotes brain metabol ism by
enhancing

of
neurot ransmit ters, especia l ly
acety lchol ine, a key player in mem ory and cognit ion. Decl in ing
acetylcholine results
in

Evidence indicates that Cognizin can increase thelevelsof
oth er ne urot rans mit ters. Studies had shown increased levels
in dopamine and norepine phr ine. Dopa mine is an im po r t an t
neuro t ransmi t t e r :
it
creates a feeling
of
we ll being and p leasure;
it is needed by thebrain to cement new learning's; and it is
necessary in the t rea tme nt o f Parkinson's d isease.Norepinep hr ine

Phosphol ip ids also serve

A Sharper B rain at Any Age
Many human and animal studies have proven th at Cognizin
supplementation canbemos t helpfulformany typesofcogn itive
and brain disorders.Ithas demonstrated therapeutic effects with
stroke patients andthose w ith brain trauma. It also showed
improvement inpatients w ith Alzheim er's disease andhasbeen
effective in alleviating Parkinson's disease. For many of the
elderly
who
have
to
contend with memory loss
or
cognitive
impairment, Cognizin
can
make
a
huge difference
in
regaining
the ir mental facilities as well as qualityoflife.
Bu t
can
Cognizin help
the
many cognitively challenged,
stressed ou t, sleep deprive d, career driven middle-agers?
A t 4 2, Lisa though t she wastooyoungto beconcerned w ith
cognitive decline.But herhectic life asaPh.D. student,
a
mother
of two young
children,
animminent move
of
residence overseas,
not
to
mention perimenopausal changes
was all too
much
for
her brain. She would repeatedly dashto the top of thestairs
onlyto completely forgetthereasonwhy shemadethet r ipby
the t ime shearrivedon the topstep. Her memory recalland
attent ion were fading.
Not only were
the
increasingly frequent memory lapses
a
causeforconcern. Lisa also entertainedanagging thoug ht that
something more sinister couldbelurking. Co uld this actuallybe
a signofearly Alzheimer's?
Lisa wasdesperate for help. At the recommendation of
a f r iend,she began to take Cognizin daily with the hope it
would improve her cognitive functioning . Altho ugh skeptical
at f irst , withinsixweeks. Lisa realized something definitelywas
happening.Herbrain was profoundly changing. She could easily
reme mbe r things again. She cou ld even focuson her research
and retain
the
informat ion.
AccordingtoLisa, lt wasadrar aticinnprovement. Itwasas
though
the fog
cleared
and I
could o nce again rem ember, recall
and focus with ease. Ano ther bonus was an improvement
in my
moods and evenmysleep was sounder.
Lisawas overjoyed that her vital cognitive functions were
fully restored. Cognizinis nowincludedin her daily nutritional
regimen.
Lisa, like manyof us in themo dern , hect ic w orl d, was aging
her brain before
its
time . Fortunately, Cognizin C iticolin e, came
toherrescueint ime.
A landmark study led by Harvard researchers at McLean
Hospital, in
Boston investigated whether Cognizin could
improve the cognitive functioning of middle-aged people. This
was
the
first t im e Cognizin
had
been tes ted
on
healthy m iddle-
aged people.'
The researchers took a group
of
male and female voluntee rs
andputtheminan M Rltomeasuretheenergy neededtomake
the brain w ork . Then the volunteers were instructed to take
Cognizin daily. After sixweeks the volunteers were putback
into
the MRl to
evaluate
if
any changes had taken place.
The results revealed
an
overall impressive fourte en percen t
increase
in
brain energy.
According to Perry Renshaw,M.D.,Ph.D., D irecto r of the
Brain Imaging Center at McLean Hospital, Harvard University
and Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, The
unanticipated
and
somewhat remarkable result
we
found
was
that the brain energy supply...is actually increased in critical
brain regions
by
this supplement.
Dr. Renshaw wenton tosay, This is really rather surprisin

According to Dr Renshaw, The kinds of words they (te
subjects) used
to
describe how they felt were sharper,

In

it is

And for those with more serious brain impairment, Cogni
offers a therapeutic adjunct to help with their treatmenta

of
us can benefit from an ex
