Product Features
Maxi Omega-3 Memory Formula is a mixture of Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, herbal extracts and other nutrients designed to support memory, increase alertness and concentration and blood flow to the brain.
The fish oil source of Omega 3 is claimed to be rigorously third party tested to provide guaranteed potency, purity and to ensure it meets U.S. standards for contaminants (mercury, lead, cadmium, PCBs, pesticides and dioxins). Omega 3 is eesential to brain development, both pre and post natal. In addition both EPA and DHA, important Omega-3 fatty acids, possess blood thinning properties, hence they facilitate blood circulating easily and reduce the risk of heart attacks, stoke or corronary artery disease.
The Ginkgo Biloba standardized extract used to create Maxi Omega-3 Memory Formula (for 24% ginkgoflavonglycosides and 6% total terpene lactones) has been clinically tested for purity and effectiveness, unlike other Ginkgo extracts. Ginkgo Biloba is most frequently used to improve cognitive performance in healthy people (memory, focus and alertness) as well as to slow age related cognitive decline conditions (such as dementia). It possesses strong blood flow enhancing properties (improving peripheral circulation) and antioxidant properties. Mild side effects are associated to Ginkgo, such as headache, stomach upset, constipation, dizziness, forceful heartbeat.
There are no consumer reviews regarding the particular combination of ingredients in Maxi Omega-3 Memory Formula. Also, there are no side effects reported by the manufacturer. The manufacturer recommends taking 1 to 2 capsules daily.
