Asthma and Stress

My life was severely affected by asthma and allergies. For a long time I suffered needlessly, not fully understanding the underlying causes of my condition. Later, I spent years learning everything that I could about natural treatments for asthma. What I found was both exhilarating and frustrating, because I knew how many people were suffering as well. I also learned painful lessons about the side-effects of medications. I put that information into my first book Reversing Asthma (now in its 13th printing). But for those who have never experienced an asthmatic attack, it can be terrifying. Read more at TONIC.com

Brain Support

Main Page / Resources & Referrals / Vitamins

Helps support normal brain function.

Dietary Supplement

Clearly one of the best brain support formulas available; containing 60 mg. of standardized Ginkgo Biloba Extract and Acetyl L-carnitine, along with the trade-marked ingredients Phosphatidyl Serine, and DHA (NeurominsTM).

  • Ginkgo biloba standardized extract improves memory and concentration by increasing blood flow to the brain. It also inhibits platelet aggregation (stickiness) causing blood to flow easier through smaller blood vessel.
  • Phosphatidyl serine, acetyl L-carnitine, inositol and choline are precursors to important compounds, known as neurotransmitters, that convey messages from one brain cell to another.
  • Acetyl L-carnitine also accelerates the formation of acetylcholine, the brain's most important neurotransmitter.
  • DHA is the primary structural fatty acid in brain tissue. It is obviously very important for the growth and maintenance of brain cells.
