GalantaMind Plus is a multinutrient braincare formulation designed by life extension scientists Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw for their own daily use as a means to help preserve and protect memory function. GalantaMind Plus is the core product in their Mind Food Brain Maintenance Toolkit which also includes Memory Upgrade II and Omega-3 HeartFelt. GalantaMind Plus features galantamine, a photonutrient extracted from the common snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis), daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus L.)., and spider lilly (Lycoris radiata) among other plants. As an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEl), galantamine competitively blocks the premature, age related breakdown of the natural neurotransmitter acetylcholine, an essential molecule that supports memory function. Unlike other AChEis, galantamine also enhances nicotinic receptor activity, an effect long known to influence memory and intellectual activity. Galantamine is the same memory-function enhancer used 3200 years ago by the Greek hero Odysseus, the champion of memory and the enemy of forgetfulness. GalantaMind Plus also contains green tea polyphenols and turmeric (each with it own system of antioxidants: each operating together as a system), along with vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and lithium (an important brain food found in the bottled waters of American and European health spas) and quercetin.*
