Protective Effect of Memoregain on Neurons



1. Control: MPP+ causes neuron damage (Caption slide 1)

2. Treated by MPP+ and Memorgain (Caption slide 2)

Slides shows:
  1. MPP+ (1-Methly-4phenylpyridinium ion) is a chemical substance which will cause neuron damage.
  2. Protection effect of S-3 on dopamine neuron treated by MPP+ and Memoregain
Suggested Use:
As a dietary supplement take 1 capsule daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare provider. People with senile dementia may take up to 4 capsules daily as recommended by their physician.

Dosage: Cistanche Tubulosa Extract (TLCT-Plus) 450mg/capsule

Active Ingredient: Echinacoside ? 25% and Phenylethanoid Glycosides ? 70%

Pharmacology: Seven kinds of animal models have proved that Memoregain improves learning ability and memory by platform and maze experiments (normal model, memory representing disturbance model caused by alcohol, memory aquiring disturbance model caused by scopolamine, memory consolidating disturbance model caused by sodium nitrate, Kidney Yang deficient model caused by hydrocortisone, senile memory decreasing model caused by D-galactose and memory disturbance model caused by cerebral ischemis-reperfusion).

Indication: Prevention of vascular dementia, memory improvement, inhibition of aggregation of blood platelets.

Administration: 1 capsule daily for supplement purpose. Apply up to 4 capsules for therapeutic purpose.

Shelf Life: 30 months

Storage: Store in a cool dry place

Background:
Fountainhead Memoregain is an exceptionally high quality dietary supplement manufactured in China in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Plant) certified botanical extraction factory that has Quality Compliance to ISO international standards. The agriculture and manufacture of Memoregain have recently, in April 2007 being certified as organic by COFCC (China Organic Food Certification Centre). The Research and Development budget in 2005 was 3.1 million US Dollars and they will continue to spend up to 14 million USD's in the next 5 years.

Cistanche Tubulosa Effects

MEMORY IMPROVEMENT
Effects of Cistanch Tubulosa glycosides (CTG) on memory consolidation dysfunction of mice induced by Sodium Nitrite (X± SD), Cong Gao (Traditional Chinese Drug Research and Clinical Pharmacology) 2005,16(3):162-164
Summary:
  • CTG 400' 200mg/Kg after oral application, mice can significantly prolong the incubation period caused by the memory damage done by sodium nitrite.
  • Scopolamine 600mg/Kg after oral application has good memory protection effect to memory damaged mice.
  • While CTG 100mg/Kg can prolong incubation period, it has less efficacy.
LEARNING EHANCEMENT
Influences of Cistanche Tubulosa glycosides (CTG) on learning and memory functions of mice with insufficienty of kidney yang induced by hydrocortisone in diving platform (X± SD), Cong Gao, Chinese Journal of Basic Medicine in Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2005, 11 (5):330-332 Summary:CTG 400,200,100mg can significantly improve the learning and memory functions of mice with insufficient kidney yang induced by hydrocortisone. Impove the error times and incubation period and reduce the death rates.

AN ANTIOXIDANT TO PROTECT NEURONS FROM APOPTOSIS
Echinacoside inhibits the formation of reactive oxygen species
Laser confocal scanning show the fluorescence is 9.8, 89.6, 39.1 and 14.2 in normal control group, TNF? group and TNF? and echinacoside 10mg/L, 100mg/L, respectively incidating echinacoside decreases formation of reactive oxygen species in the cells exposed to TNF?.

Reference: 1. Echinacoside rescues the SHSY5Y neuronal cells from TNF? - induced apoptosis. Min Deng,et al European Journal of Pharmacology, 2004< (505) 11-18 2. Enchinacoside rescues the SHS5Y neuronal cells from TNF? - induced apoptosis, Min Deng, Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2005,21(2):169-74

REDUCE NEURON APOPTOSIS.
ACCELERATE NEURON GROWTH AND REPAIR
Normal Neuron cells includes soma, axon and dendrite
Within the normal group, the neuronal cells had normal growth and long axon.
In the group treated by MPP+, neurons atrophy and axon disappoint.
In the group treated by MPP+ and Cistanche tubulosa glycosides, the growing condition of neuron is good and the axon is growing long.
Reference: Major pharmacology study, CTG new drug materials (unpublished)

ANTI-AGING CAPABILITY
Anti-oxidative Protection
The scavenging abilities of Echinacoside in different concentration on -OH, O2 - and L. free radical in vitro.
It was concluded that Echinacoside, the main constituent of phenylethanoid glycosides, might scavenge many kinds of free radicals, the scavenging abilities had the concentration-dependant of direct ratio.
Reference: Anti-aging function study on Echinacoside, Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2004, 20(3):183-187

INCREASE BLOOD CIRCULATION. DECREASE INFARCTION Anti free radical via increase in activity of SOD The activity of SOD in radiated group decreased 46.8% but in Cistanche tubulosa glycosides treated group it increased 52.1% and 52.4% (cistanche tubulosa glycosides 125mg/kg, Cistanche glucosides 500mg/kg). This test demonstrates two groups have an increase in SOD activity at a significant rate. Reference: Effects on CTG's anti-lip peroxidation and anti-radiation, Lin Lee, China Journal of Chinese Material Mecicine 1997,22(6):364-367

PREVENT HEART/BRAIN INFARCTION
Cistanche tubulosa glycosides inhibit thrombosis in artery-vein by-pass
Compared with distilled water, CTG 200mg, 100mg had the effect of inhibiting thrombus coagulation, preventing thrombosis. Inhibition rate were 16.4% and 19.6%. Summary: CTG 200' 100mg/Kg had the effect of inhibiting thrombus coagulation, preventing thrombosis, thrombus moist weight reduce significantly compared with distilled water. Reference: Major pharmacology study, CTG new drug materials (unpublished)

ANTI-FATIGUE Improve general health and reduce fatigue
Cistanche tubulosa glycosides increase physical strength and resistance to ischemia and toxic substances

After a few days of giving CTG, both CTG groups significantly prolong the lack of oxygen mice living time, increase mice tolerance of oxygen insufficiency. Both CTG groups presented significantly longer weight bearing swimming time, it demonstrates an ideal anti-fatigue efficacy.
Cistanche tubulosa glycosides increase tolerance to ischemia, prolong living time in sodium nitrite.
