Mental Accuity & Focus - Not just a concern for seniors

Phosphatidylserine is used for Alzheimer's disease, age-related decline in mental function, improving thinking skills in young people, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, preventing exercise induced stress, and improving athletic performance.

How does it work?

Phosphatidylserine is an important chemical with widespread functions in the body. It is part of the cell structure and is key in the maintenance of cellular function, especially in the brain. 

 

Mental Accuity & Focus

CogniCare™ provides a comprehensive cognitive support for neurotransmitters, focus, mental acuity and mood. Each capsule contains the following healthy brain complexes:

NeuroTransmitter Complex™

Ultimate Focus Complex™
ProAcuity & Mood Complex™

NeuroTransmitter™ Complex- the key to healthy brain activity. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that enable neurons to pass signals to each other and thus allow the body to function properly. Electrical signals are converted to chemical signals at the synapse. This is known as neurotransmission at a synapse. Healthy neurotransmitter activity is essential in proper brain brain function.

The nutrients included in NeuroTransmitter Complex™, and their respective brain support roles are:

Huperzine A - prevents acetylcholine breakdown, one of the body's essential neurotransmitters. This offers the body healthy cognitive performance support.

L-Glutamine - modulates both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. As it is highly concentrated in the brain and balances other transmitters, L-Glutamine allows the brain to perform in a healthy state.

L-Tyrosine - plays important role in the production of neurotransmitters which regulate emotions.

Phosphatidyl Serine - modulates the fluidity of cell membranes --- essential for sending and receiving messages. Increases communication between cell membranes by increasing the number of membrane receptor sites for receiving messages. Promotes a healthy brain supply of and output of acetylcholine.

Ultimate Focus Complex™
Acetyl L-Carnitine - a neuroprotective nutrient that passes through the blood-brain barrier. Its neuroprotection is derived from its ability to stop the passage of harmful substances into the brain. Acetyl L-Carnitine is a natural inflammatory that enhances the effects of antioxidant systems within the body. It advances the body’s ability to fight oxidative stress. It is essential in maintaining healthy mitochondrial activity, and promoting healthy glutathione and CoQ10 levels. Acetyl L-Carnitine also works synergestically with alpha lipoic acid, another powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Vinpocetine - promotes healthy blood circulation within the brain.

ProAcuity & Mood Complex™
B-12 (methylcobalamin) - promotes healthy mental acuity and mood function.

B-6 - supports normal memory and verbal function.

30 Day Supply

Testimonials:
"When I told my mom that I was having trouble with concentration and focus in school, my mom recommended CogniCare. I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of the best ingredients that I have been able to find through independent research is phosphatidylserine. It is one of the best supplements that you can take in the realm of mental enhancers. Not only was I able to notice an increased ability in the way I manage stress in my daily life, but I was also more and more emotionally stable. In lecture, my ability for taking notes was also enhanced, and I was soon enjoying the perks of a superior short-term memory. Overall, CogniCare is a revolutionary supplement. Its combination of phosphatidylserine with its other ingredients like Vinpocetine, and Huperzine A, enables the supplement to work synergistically for a noticeable improvement in executive function. Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience with others who may be looking for a natural and effective way of clearing the cobwebs from their brains."

Journey with Chronic Illness

By Janis Uquillas, R.N.
9/12/11

The last time I remember sleeping well without a natural or medicinal sleep aid is when I was a teenager.  Now, I am 59+ years old.  I have lived with Chronic Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple disc herniations, chronic nerve pain and arthritis to name a few for many years.  I think that I got infected with Lyme disease as a teenager and have been sick since.  The Lyme wasn't diagnosed until approximately 3-4 years ago.  I believe that the Lyme disease is the root cause of many of my symptoms.  Treating chronic long term Lyme disease is not only extremely expensive but difficult to put it mildly.  I long go lost optimistism for beating this illness and settled into a quiet reserve of life with pain, fatigue and many other issues.  JES Organics has been such a blessing for me, I can't imagine life without my mission.  At times, I wondered given the poor quality of life, how I could manage to live into old age not sleeping and living with pain all the time. 

Sleep had always been a big problem for me along with a host of many other symptoms.  I try to be as alternative as possible in any treatment approaches as I believe that medicines while they sometimes have their places in our lives and in our health, generally cause more problems and should be avoided as much as possible.  If there is a natural approach, try that first in my opinion.   

Approximately 3 months ago, my holistic doctor recommended North Pole magnetic therapy for me as treatment for my Lyme disease.  Initially, I took this information lightly because after all, I have been an alternative medical researcher for years and I hadn't heard much on this topic before.  Then he asked me to read a book on the subject which I slowly got around to doing.   The book certainly peaked my interest enough to want to learn more on the subject, to be honest, it sounded too good to be true!  So I went to the library and checked out every single book available on magnetic therapy and also did a lot of research on the Internet reading as many articles as I could find.  Every single book and article I have read has indicated that north pole magnetic therapy is beneficial for so many symptoms and illnesses.  I also learned that the reason it may not be widely known is because clinical trials are extremely costly to conduct and often require private funds unless it is a drug backed by a big pharmaceutical company.  Let's face it, do you really think that 'Big Pharma' wants to do clinical trials on magnets that would eliminate the need for many drugs. 

So after months of researching and trying to find out the correct protocols for me, I am excited to say that my magnetics are on the way here, due to arrive this week.  I feel like I have been waiting forever for them to arrive.  In the meantime, 3 weeks ago, I ordered 2 magnetic pads.  Today I can report that I haven't taken any sleep aids for almost 2 weeks now and sleeping very well.  The north pole negative polarity magnets stimulate the pineal gland and melatonin production.  I never liked taking the melatonin supplement because the sleep wasn't great and it gave me nightmares but I have no problem with natural production of the melantonin.  This is just the tip of the iceberg for me.

In the books and articles that I have read, I am very optimistic that the magnetic protocols will change my life.  This is highly unusual for me, a natural skeptic and someone that has tried many things.  My doctor did warn me and this was confirmed in all of my reading that not all magnetics are created equally.  It is crucial to get the right type, right size, correct protocol and good quality.   

As my journey continues, I will be excited to share my progress with you.  It is possible that I will experience some detox reactions during treatment and that is to be expected, I don't fear that like I did with taking medications in the past for Lyme as I don't also have to worry about the damage that the treatment is doing to my body because the magnets will not harm me.

Beat Depression Naturally

Friday, April 01, 2011 by: Dr. David Jockers

NaturalNews) People with chronic depression often times have significant biochemical imbalances in their neurological tissue. New research has indicated that this imbalance is not a genetic flaw as was once thought. Instead it is due to a heavy onslaught of toxicity or severe nutritional and lifestyle based deficiencies that cause massive brain inflammation; this in effect disrupts normal neurological processing. Fortunately, when these causative factors are addressed, one can overcome the chemical imbalances and beat depression naturally.

Depression and neuro-emotional diseases such as bipolar, schizophrenia, etc. are at an all-time high. The pharmaceutical industry has brought out dozens of blockbuster drugs to treat all of these conditions with billions of $ of revenue every year. Unfortunately, none of these drugs treat the cause of the chemical imbalance, but they merely treat the symptoms and come with a whole host of frightening side effects. In fact, years back the FDA mandated labeling requiring anti-depressant manufactures to include a warning that these drugs increase suicide risk (which is one of the things they are supposed to prevent).

The true cause of depression from a biochemical and lifestyle perspective is due to toxicity or deficiency at the cellular level. Common toxicity problems associated with depression include heavy metals like mercury, lead, aluminum, etc. that accumulate in the fatty tissue of the brain and create massive free radical damage and inflammation that alters neurological function. Viruses and environmental toxins are common inflammatory agents in the brain as well.

Another common toxin that causes massive inflammatory conditions in the brain is certain food intolerances. The most common food allergens to avoid include gluten containing grains such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, kamut, & spelt. Soy products, different nuts, eggs, and heavy proteins are often not tolerated well. Obviously all processed and man-made foods need to be avoided at all costs. Other common allergens include those of the nightshade family such as eggplant, tomatoes, & onions.

An anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle are critical for full recovery from these conditions. Anti-inflammatory foods help to modulate the immune system and give it a more accurate pair of eyes so as to not over-inflame when stimulated. To effectively de-inflame it is key to completely avoid man-made foods, sugars, and food allergens as listed above. The long chain omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA not only are critical for healthy brain function, but also powerfully de-inflame the body by restoring natural balance to the lipid wall of the cell membrane.

Healthy movement patterns produce proprioception (movement information) which is a critical essential for healthy brain enhancing and mood regulating patterns. Boosting proprioceptive input through maintaining healthy spinal function and exercise training has been shown to prevent and reverse depression. Regular chiropractic care and customized physical therapy exercises are critical lifestyle factors for maintaining healthy spinal function. A daily exercise regimen of a high-intensity burst and resistance training program that incorporates core stability and functional balance training enhances proprioceptive input into the brain and balances key hormones that play a role in weight regulation and muscle tone which are factors involved in mental health as well.

Other critical nutrients that are key for mood stabilization include Vitamin D, Folic acid, Pyridoxine (B6), Vitamin B12, Zinc, CoQ10, and trace minerals. Vitamin D levels should be between 60-100 ng/ml. Boost Vitamin D naturally with 20-60 minutes of healthy sunlight every day or 10,000-50,000 IU of emulsified vitamin D3 daily to get the levels where they should be. A raw, whole-food multi-vitamin that supplies ample amounts of folic acid (400 mcg), B6 (4mg), B12(100 mcg), Zinc (15 mg), trace minerals, & CoQ10 (500 mcg) should be consumed daily.
