Q: What are neurotransmitters?

Q: What happens to neurotransmitters as we age?

Q: Can neurotransmitters, such as, acetylcholine, be replaced?

A: Yes. Procera AVH helps your brain cells produce more acetylcholine and use it more efficiently to enhance cognitive functions and even mood.*

Q: What are antioxidants?

A: Antioxidants are ingredients that help neutralize free radicals. Anti-oxidants can help protect the brain against the oxidative stress induced by free radicals from stress and environmental toxins we face everyday.

Q: What are free radicals and why are they harmful to the brain?

A: Free radicals, also know as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are a natural by-product of normal metabolism as the cells of the brain and body convert fuel, mainly fat and glucose, into energy. Unfortunately, an excess of free radicals, such as occur when we eat the wrong foods, such trans-fatty acids, or when we take in certain neuro-toxic heavy metals, such as mercury and aluminum, or when we’re under stress, all cause the body’s own natural antioxidant defense system to be overwhelmed. Excess free radicals wreak havoc on the cells of the brain, including the mitochondria and even the DNA, and are believed to be a major contributing factor to accelerated aging and decline in cognitive function.

This makes it extremely important to learn more about certain foods, such as certain fish, berries, and nuts - for more information read the 20/20 Brain Power book and Recipes with Your Mind in Mind book, and supplements, such as Procera AVH, Ceraplex and Omega-3 DHA all to bolster your brain and body’s own natural anti-oxidant.*
