Impossible to tell what is going on here, No idea what is truly in this. Only $38 to get the full PDF. Except for the fact that there is no way to know if this supplement actually contains the listed ingredients. All because of the
stupidity of our Congress passing the Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA): (DSHEA) defined dietary supplements as a
category of food, which put
them under different regulations than drugs. They are considered safe
until proven otherwise. Caveat Emptor.
Summary:
According to researchers, a complex dietary supplement has shows
anti-aging properties that appear to prevent, and even reverse brain
cell loss.

A dietary supplement containing a blend of thirty vitamins
and minerals, all natural ingredients widely available in health food
stores, has shown remarkable anti-aging properties that can prevent and
even reverse massive brain cell loss, according to new research from
McMaster University.
It’s a mixture scientists believe could someday slow the progress of
catastrophic neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS and
Parkinson’s.
“The findings are dramatic,” says Jennifer Lemon, research associate
in the Department of Biology and a lead author of the study. “Our hope
is that this supplement could offset some very serious illnesses and
ultimately improve quality of life.”
The formula, which contains common ingredients such as vitamins B, C
and D, folic acid, green tea extract, cod liver oil and other
nutraceuticals, was first designed by scientists in McMaster’s
Department of Biology in 2000.
A series of studies published over the last decade and a half have
shown its benefits in mice, in both normal mice and those specifically
bred for such research because they age rapidly, experiencing dramatic
declines in cognitive and motor function in a matter of months.
The mice used in this study had widespread loss of more than half of
their brain cells, severely impacting multiple regions of the brain by
one year of age, the human equivalent of severe Alzheimer’s disease.
The mice were fed the supplement on small pieces of bagel each day
over the course of several months. Over time, researchers found that it
completely eliminated the severe brain cell loss and abolished cognitive
decline.
“The research suggests that there is tremendous potential with this
supplement to help people who are suffering from some catastrophic
neurological diseases,” says Lemon, who conducted the work with
co-author Vadim Aksenov, a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of
Biology at McMaster.
“We know this because mice experience the same basic cell mechanisms
that contribute to neurodegeneration that humans do. All species, in
fact. There is a commonality among us all.”

In addition to looking at the major markers of aging, they also
discovered that the mice on the supplements experienced enhancement in
vision and most remarkably in the sense of smell–the loss of which is
often associated with neurological disease–improved balance and motor
activity.
The next step in the research is to test the supplement on humans,
likely within the next two years, and target those who are dealing with
neurodegenerative diseases.
