Maxi Omega-3 Memory Formula is a dietary supplement based on fish oil derived Omega 3. Ginkgo Biloba is advertised to support memory, enhance blood circulation to the brain, maintain healthy brain function, and increase alertness concentration.

The manufacturer of the formula is a company called Maxi Health Research. This company claims to be one of the largest suppliers of vitamins, minerals, and herbs with kosher and vegetarian select product lines in the U.S.

Since its foundation in 1974, the company has developed many dietary supplements, vitamins, stress and sleep formulas, diet products, and specific health conditions.

It currently sells more than 130 nutritional supplements in tablet, powder, chewable, capsule, and liquid forms designed to meet the entire family’s health needs. The company is headquartered in New York.

Maxi Omega-3 Memory Formula is recommended exclusively for adults.

Overview

1) Quick Overview

Maxi Omega-3 Memory Formula is a mixture of Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, herbal extracts, and other nutrients 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 essential to brain development, both pre and postnatal. Besides both EPA and DHA, essential Omega-3 fatty acids possess blood-thinning properties, facilitate blood circulating efficiently, and reduce the risk of heart attacks, stroke, or coronary 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) and slow age-related mental decline conditions (such as dementia). It possesses strong blood flow enhancing properties (improving peripheral circulation) and antioxidant properties.

Mild side effects are associated with Ginkgo, such as headaches, stomach upset, constipation, dizziness, and forceful heartbeat.

3) What Does Maxi Omega-3 Memory Formula Do?

Maxi Health Kosher is claimed to improve memory and blood circulation to the brain. Fish Oil is one of the ingredients found in Memory Formula. The essential fatty acids in fish oil, EPA, and DHA act as brain fuel and prevent inflammation.

The brain cell’s neuron is composed of about 30% DHA, which helps memory, and the EPA has been shown in studies to cause improvements in Alzheimer’s patients.

Maxi Omega-3 Memory Formula also includes vitamin B12. The New England Journal of Medicine reported an association between memory loss and B12 deficiency. Similarly, the Annals of Internal Medicine reported memory improvement with B12 supplementation.

Acetyl L-Carnitine is an amino acid responsible for healthy neuron and brain function. According to a study done by the National Academy of Sciences, the age-associated cognitive decline was reversed with Acetyl L-Carnitine.

This and many other studies emphasize the ability of Acetyl L-Carnitine to help brain cells, proving the base for better memory and learning.

Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most popular herbs found in brain supplements currently. Currently, supplements containing Ginkgo Biloba extracts are the best sellers in Europe. This herb is well known for its memory-enhancing activity, achieved by increasing circulation and some brain antioxidants.

Additionally, fish oil is rigorously tested for potency and purity. It contains no contaminants such as mercury, lead, cadmium, PCBs, pesticides, and dioxins.
