| Omega-Choice Neurological Support Pack
The Neurological Support Pack encompasses pharmaceutical grade vitamins manufactured
by Douglas Labs - a company who sells exclusively through physicians and pharmacists.
The product contains thirty individual packets (a one month supply) of vitamins
and herbs. The content of this packet which was formulated by Pamela Seefeld,
R.Ph. is a complete formulation that may address helping the brain in a positive
manner. Great thought and detail as to which components might be most beneficial
for neurons were considered. Vitamin A 2,000 units is contained in the formula.
Vitamin A is known to enter into the fat-soluble areas of the body, and is
a necessary nutrient. Vitamin E 500 units in its natural form (the best and
most available to the body) also is very important. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble
antioxidant that protects the brain from pesticides and other chemicals that
may be ingested on food. The function of Vitamin E also is to concentrate in
the cellular membranes. Cell membranes protect the cell (the outer casing).
If a free radical that has the ability to penetrate this fatty layer enters
the cell membrane, it is most likely that the cell will be destroyed. Folic
acid, which is perhaps one the most important vitamins is 800mcg daily - a
better dosage than the typical 400mcg found in most vitamin regimens. Folic
Acid is beneficial to protect the heart and the nerves.
Omega-3 fish oil is most definitely a component of a well balanced vitamin regimen. Omega-3
fatty acids are probably the most important supplement that you can take. Fish oils
(omega-3 fatty acids) are known for their importance in preventing heart disease. Omega-3 fatty
acids are essential fatty acids. This means that the body cannot produce these necessary nutrients.
They must be consumed from the diet. Here in the U.S. the consumption of fatty fish is inadequate.
A point of interest concerning fatty acids - in countries with higher fish consumption, both heart
disease and depression rates are low. Omega-3 fatty acids also have other health promoting activities
on the joints, vision, and hormones. Purity of the fish oils consumed can also be of concern. Many
fish oil products do not contain fish oil that is molecular distilled (removes the contaminants of PCB's
and mercury). The fish oil contained in this product is highly processed and very clean. The packet
also contains Rosemary and Sage. These are very important herbals in respect to their function as
strong antioxidants, and their ability to contain essential oils that enter the brain. Both Sage and
Rosemary were found in rat studies to inhibit acetylcholine esterase. This may prove of benefit in
helping memory. The strong antioxidants Co-Enzyme Q10 and Alpha-Lipoic Acid are in the packet
as well. These two antioxidants have the ability to enter the brain. This is important from the
perspective that chemicals the body comes in contact with, may sometimes enter the brain
and cause problems. Preventing damage to cells in the brain is a top priority. One of the most
important supplements in this is Vinpocetine. Vinpocetine enters the brain effectively, and may
help with neuronal repair. It is important to recognize that obtaining these amounts of beneficial
nutrients from the diet alone would be very difficult. The Neurological Support Pack contains each
of these components in a convenient way. Vitamin regimens are only as good as the quality
of the vitamins contained in them.
