Cognitex is the first nutrient formula
to boost short term memory and prevent
some of the effects of aging in the brain.
Cognitex includes: Pregnenolone:
Pregnenolone has been widely touted as
the "memory hormone" largely
because of studies in animals showing
improvements in learning and memory in
mice and rats after they received
supplemental pregnenolone.
Regelson reveals (The Super Hormon
Promise, By William Regelson, M.D. And
Carol Colman) that more than 50 years ago,
researchers at the University of
Massachusetts demonstrated that
pregnenolone can improve memory in humans.
They trained 14 subjects to operate an
airplane flight simulator machine. The
objective was to fly the plane safely,
avoiding obstances and crashes. Seven of
the subjects were professional airplane
pilots; the other seven had no previous
piloting experience.
Before each test run, the subjects
took a 50 mg capsule of pregnenolone or a
placebo. Tests conducted over a several
week period showed that those who
received pregnenolone improved
signficantly in their ability to operate
the airplane simulator compared to those
receiving placebo. Moreover, their flying
ability improved more the longer they
took pregnenolone. The pilots in the
study reported that they performed better,
with less fatigue, during their real
flying jobs, as well as during the
simulated flights.
Improvement on the job:
The same researchers tested
pregnenolone supplementation in factory
workers to see if it could improve their
productivity on the job, reports Dr.
Regelson. They found that productivity
was significantly improved in workers
taking pregnenolone. Interestingly, the
effect on productivity was most
noticeable in those who worked under
highly stressful conditions, such as
those who were paid by the piece and were
thus under pressure to produce in order
to earn a living. Pregnenolone not only
improved productivity, but the workers
also said they felt better and were
better able to cope with job pressures
when taking pregnenolone.
Improving memory in older people:
Now, more than 50 years later,
scientists at the St. Louis University
School of Medicine are again conducting
studies to determine the effects of
pregnenolone on mental function in humans.
Although the results of these studies are
still preliminary, Dr. Rahmawhati Sih
shared her data with Regelson prior to
the publication of his book.
In one of her studies, Dr. Sih
administered a 500 mg capsule of
prenenolone or a placebo to a small
number of elderly men and women. Three
hours later, the subjects were asked to
perform a variety of standard memory
tests, including paragraph recall, block
design, and concentration.
Those who took pregnenolone showed
improvement on these memory tests, but
the results varied by sex. Men tended to
improve more on spatial tasks such as
block building, trail making (connecting
lines), and other tasks requiring three
dimensional thinking. Women, on the other
hand, tended to improve most on verbal
tasks, such as recalling a series of
words.
Newest Additions:
The newest addition to the formula is vinpocetine, a
periwinkle extract that enhances
circulation and oxygen utilization in the
brain, increases tolerance of the brain
toward diminished blood flow, and
inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation.
It also maintains brain cell electrical
conductivity and protects against damage
caused by excessive intracellular release
of calcium.
