GINKGO
BILOBA
The brain requires good nutrition. There has been a great deal of interest and research on
nutrition related to brain function in recent years.
What we eat can affect our moods, mental alertness and memory, and so
there has been much interest and research in brain function related to special nutrients.
Ginkgo Biloba has been proven to be a successful treatment for people
suffering from dementia due to reduced blood flow to the brain. Administration of Ginkgo
Biloba extract increases blood flow to the brain and improves brain-wave tracings. With
Ginkgo Biloba supplementation, people with dementia become more alert and sociable, think
more clearly, feel better and remember more.

THE
BRAIN
Mankind has long been fascinated by that gray, wrinkled matter contained within our
skulls. Just as the heart, liver or stomach has been thought of as the seat of the
emotions in various cultures, so also the brain has been regarded as the seat of
intelligence.
What we eat can affect our moods, mental alertness and memory.
The brain is a complicated, well organized matrix of intricate nerve
endings connecting each brain cell with many others. Billions of electrical nerve impulses
travel back and forth within the brain every second. Many chemicals act as
neurotransmitters that transport these impulses from one cell to another. If the brain has
an inadequate supply of the nutrients it needs to manufacture these substances, it will be
hindered in its ability to function properly.
ALZHEIMER'S
Malfunctions of the brain seem to be an increasing problem in western societies today with
Alzheimer's disease being one of the most common and most serious. It is the fourth
leading cause of death among adults with about 100,000 deaths annually. It afflicts
between 2.5 and 4 million Americans and is predicted to rise to 14 million victims in the
year 2040. At age 65, your chance of getting Alzheimer's is 6%, at age 75 it is 20% and is
an incredible 47% at age 85. The disease begins with early confusion and progresses to the
point of major forgetfulness, incontinence, difficult sleeping and major personality
changes. Then, almost all motor activity is lost to the point of not being able to eat
without help.
SPECIAL
FORMULA
This unique herbal based product contains the special Huperizia Serrata, Gotu Kola and
Ginkgo Biloba concentrate plus Ginseng herbs. In addition, it contains the very special
valuable amino acids L-Glutamine, L-Taurine, L-Tyrosine plus N-Acetyl Carnitine. Co-Enzyme
Q-10 is included because of its fantastic antioxidant effect. FOOD FOR THOUGHT provides
the nutrients specifically synergistic for support of healthy brain function. Many
individuals find FOOD FOR THOUGHT helpful for alertness and stamina.
The amino acids in FOOD FOR THOUGHT serve as precursors, which the
brain needs to produce important neurotransmitter serotonin. If inadequate amounts of
these types of amino acids are not in the diet, too little serotonin is produced causing
you to become nervous or have trouble sleeping.
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that penetrates the barrier separating the
brain from the rest of the body's circulatory system. Once inside the brain, L-Glutamine
has the unusual ability to provide fuel for brain cells. Consequently, it is an energy
source for the brain and has been used to improve both learning and I.Q. Some alcoholics
have been helped dramatically by L-Glutamine supplements. Even though the body
manufactures its own Glutamine, some people seem to need more than they can produce by
themselves and supplementation is needed.
Tyrosine is a precursor to Norepinephrine and Dopamine (two important
neurotransmitters) in the brain that are excitatory and seem to keep you alert, sexually
interested and ambitious. Dopamine is deficient in people with Parkinson's disease.
Results are now becoming apparent about the nutritional value of Tyrosine in the
prevention of depression.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT contains the special nutrients for those who desire to
keep an alert mind and a sharp memory. Some of them have been well known in other cultures
for centuries and some are just now becoming understood. This formula is great for
students, "absent-minded" professors and the elderly. Many believe the herbs and
other nutrients help to prevent feelings of being depressed and nutritionally supports
those who want to stay alert without resorting to caffeine or other harmful stimulants.
