Women's Longevity Formula (Reproductive Years)

This is for woman under 45. This is a vitamin, mineral and herbal blend I have been using for 25 years that I constantly update and change. Clinically, I find this product has great success. It is a basic multi-vitamin.

I recommend 2-8 pills twice a day. Take with food. When you are taking too much you will have indigestion, so you will want to decrease the amount and increase it back up slowly.*

Women's Longevity Formula (Anti-Aging & Balancing)

Men's Longevity Formula

This is a vitamin, mineral and herbal blend I have been using for 25 years that I constantly update and change. Clinically, I find this product has great success. It is a basic multi-vitamin for men.

I recommend 2-8 pills twice a day. Take with food. When you are taking too much you will have indigestion, so you will want to decrease the amount and increase it back up slowly.*

Besides hormonal and vitamin support, I have divided this section into four sections with supplements in each section to support the memory.

1. Over the counter hormones
2. Herbal supplements for memory enhancement
3. Nutrients
4. Smart Drugs
5. Combination Formulas

A. Over the counter hormones:

DHEA

For detailed information on how to use DHEA please read the corresponding chapter in my book The Natural Superwoman.

I recommend 5-25mg for woman with food because this absorbs better with a high protein, healthy fat meal. For men, I recommend 10-50mg.

Please note: Side effects: edgy, oily skin, acne, and rarely depression.*

Pregnenolone

This comes as 50mg or 100mg. For detailed information on how to use pregnenolone please read the corresponding chapter in my book The Natural Superwoman.

I recommend that both men and women can use between 50 and 300 mg per day.*

Melatonin 1mg, 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg

I recommend 1-5 mg ½ hour or just before sleep. For more information see my book The Natural Super Woman.

Please note: Too much melatonin will cause common side effects which are feeling sleepy, wired or having nightmares. *

B. Herbal supplements for memory enhancement:

Ginkgo Forte

This is an 'old fashioned' supplement but incredible. And when face-to-face with drugs this was always equally as effective with no side effects. This addresses memory loss by affecting multiple mechanisms benefiting our memory.

I recommend 1 pill twice a day for mild condition of memory loss and 2 pills twice a day for significant memory loss. 2 pills equal 120mg. of Ginkgo proprietary blend.*

See page 305 in The Natural Superwoman.

Galantamine

This is a natural compound derived from the common snowflake, a plant closely related to the daffodil. It has been shown in studies to be effective as an acetyl-cholinesterase inhibitor, as well as amplifying the effects of acetylcholine by stimulating nicotinic receptors.

I recommend you start slowly by taking 1 capsule per day with a meal. Gradually increase to 2-3 capsules per day, if needed, in divided doses with meals, or as directed by your healthy care professional.

See page 307 in The Natural Superwoman.

Please note: This may occasionally cause nausea or vomiting in hypersensitive persons. If this occurs, reduce dose or discontinue use and consult your health care professional.*

Vinpocetine

This is a chemically distinct compound that plays a role in supporting cerebral circulation and cognitive function. By supporting the vasculature, Vinpocetine works to promote increased oxygen to the brain. Extensively researched in Europe, Vinpocetine has become increasingly popular with the public for mild memory problems associated with aging. The same qualities that help the memory also improve blood flow to the bladder and its surrounds and help with stress incontinence.

I recommend 2-3 pills a day.*

See page 306 in The Natural Superwoman.

C. Nutrients:

Omega 3 600 mg

This is an ultra pure fish oil from the Arctic water of Norway. Each Capsule provides 600mg of Omega 3 fatty acids. (This capsule is contained in a special gel that enhances absorption and prevents any aftertaste you may have encountered with other fish oils.)

I recommend 2-4 pills twice a day. *

EPA-DHA Liquid

This is Liquid fish oil and contains 2300mg of EPA and DHA in 1 teaspoon.

I recommend 1 teaspoon twice a day. *

Phosphatidyl Serine 100mg

This is an integral component of brain membrane and has a dual effect of both enhancing the memory and reducing stress. I have been using this with success for many years. The optimal dose is 300mg divided. Take 100mg in the morning and 200mg at night.*

Acetyl-lCarnitine 500mg

This can be combined very well with phosphatidyl serine, but is also effective individually. Each pill is 500mg.

I recommend 2 in the morning and 1 at night. *

NattoKinase

This is an all-natural potent fibrinolytic enzyme that is extracted and highly purified from natto, a fermented soybean food, consumed in Japan for over 1000years. It is fast acting and long lasting. In 1980, researches discovered that NattoKinase could successfully break down fibrin, a blood clotting protein including human and animal trials. NattoKinase may support the body in areas such as cardiovascular-related disorders, vascular and circulatory disorders and may aid in conditions of poor healing.

I recommend 1 or 2 pills twice a day.*

Glycerophosphocholine (GPC)

This is very effective in enhancing memory and improving mild memory deficiency.

I recommend 1 pill twice a day.*

D. Smart Drugs:

These are safe, unique, memory enhancing products that have years of safety records behind them and also have significant benefits.

Piracetam 800mg

This is a water-soluble GABA derivative that has been clinically shown in healthy adults to enhance verbal articulation, mental energy, information processing, memory, perception, and creativity. Neurochemically, this enhances cerebral glucose/ oxygen metabolism, stimulates the corpus callous (boosts cerebral communication between both sides of the brain), activates the locus coeruleus, and strengthens AMPA and NMDA receptors involved in long term memory formation and learning.

I recommend you start with 2-3 pills, 2-3 times per day for 4 weeks. For maintenance, take 2 pills twice a day. If you take this with other 'smart drugs' or memory enhancers, 1-2 pills twice a day may be sufficient. *

See page 208 in The Natural Superwoman.

Aniracetam 750mg

This is a fat-soluble GABA derivative that has been clinically shown in healthy adults to enhance articulation, mental energy, memory, perception, focus, and creativity. Neurochemically, this enhances glutamatergic neurotransmission, long term potentiation, synaptic transmission, neurotrophin expression, and impulsivity. It also improves motivation and facilitates dual dopaminergic/seroteonergic transmission. In addition it facilitates memory consolidation, helps reduce stress and improves focus.

I recommend you start with 2 pills twice a day. For maintenance, take 1 or 2 pills twice a day. If you take this with other ‘smart drugs' take 1 twice a day.*

See page 208 in The Natural Superwoman.

Centrophenoxine 500mg

This has been shown to have both cognition enhancing as well as anti-aging properties. CPX is an ultra-potent version of DMAE for the brain which also helps to clean and rehydrate neurons and skin cells for better functioning. CPX has a wide range of biochemical effects that account for the amazing range of benefits it has in the brain. Biochemically this increases acetylcholine levels in the brain more effectively than DMAE. This also elevates mental acuity, stimulates glucose and oxygen uptake in the brain, enhances cellular health (increases cell membrane fluidity and decreases age spots), boosts SOD and catalase production, and scavenges hydroxyl free radicals.

I recommend 1 pill twice a day. For maintenance I also recommend 1 pill twice a day.

See page 209 in The Natural Superwoman.*

E: Combination Formulas

I like the combination formulas because they bring in many nutrients that were previously described.

Memory Support

This contains Acetyl-l-Carnitine, phosphatidylserine, ginkgo, vinpocetine, and Huperzine. Huperzine is a Chinese herb that prevents brain cell degeneration and acts as acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

I recommend 1-2 pills twice a day. In extreme conditions of memory loss I would use 3-4 twice a day.

See page 306 in The Natural Superwoman.*

Membrin

This is an herbal combination as vinpocetine and Huperzine.

I recommend 1 or 2 daily. *

Brain Nutrients

This is designed to support healthy mental function and issues related to proper focus, attention, learning, and memory. It does this by providing nutrients for modulating the metabolism of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA.

I recommend 1 pill twice a day.*
