Neuroprotection

Have people in your family who could use some focus and/or memory help? This is about to excite you! The antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties of acemannan are shown to have a powerful neuroprotective effect.

Acemannan has been discovered to support brain health in more ways than one! Not only does it defend neurons from harmful oxidative harm, but it also eases inflammation and safeguards the blood-brain barrier. Plus, acemannan can actually increase the circulation of healthy oxygenated blood going directly into your brain – which is even better because that helps generate helpful antioxidants like glutathione for extra protection against cellular damage caused by free radicals.

A 2013 study showed cognition scores in Alzheimer’s patients significantly improved at 9 and 12 months from baseline, and 46% of the sample showed clinically-significant improvement from baseline to 12 months.

Something else of interest when it comes to the health of the central nervous system…

There is something called the ‘inflammatory reflex’ and it’s described as a mechanism by which the vagus nerve detects pro-inflammatory markers in the body and sends signals back to the brain stem, which then triggers a chemical reaction that then travels down pathways of the vagus nerve to the spleen, which is then induced to produce the anti-inflammatory neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

What is the vagus nerve? The vagus nerve is the longest and, arguably, the most important nerve in the human body. It connects all your important organs, including the heart, lungs, gut, and brain. To understand the vagus nerve is to understand the human condition.

A healthy vagus nerve leads to a good temper, better sleep, and increased immunity. Conversely, if you have a hot temper, trouble relaxing, or digestion problems, it may be time to get to know your vagus nerve better.

There is a 100% connection between the vagus nerve and both gut and brain health — you can read more here:
