Forgetfulness / Cognitive Function Decline

 

Acetylcholine Function

CerivaTM is formulated to support healthy cognitive function in those concerned about maintaining their memory by beneficially modulating the metabolism of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Designed to act centrally, within the brain, Ceriva features huperzine A, 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate, and alpha-tocotrienol (from Tocomin® SupraBioTM), which research suggests may be able to cross the blood-brain barrier.

function and the formation and consolidation of memoriesu

  • Provides Tocomin® SupraBioTM and huperzine A for nerve cell protection against excitotoxic effects and other oxidative influencesu
