Mental Advantage Review

Product Features

Mental Advantage is a blend of vitamins and herbal extracts designed to assist common problems of the aging brain.

Curcumin belongs to the class of curcuminoids and is found in the Turmeric Root extract. Although research on humans is still in its early stages, in vitro and animal studies have suggested a wide range of therapeutic and preventive effects of curcumin. Turmeric has been used by traditional Ayurvedic medicine practitioners for thousands of years, and modern research has shown curcumin to be linked to most of its medicinal benefits. Curcumin has shown antioxidant, antitumor, anti-arthritic, anti-ischemic and anti-inflammatory properties (in animal tests). Its impact and effects on osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, heart failure, stomach ulcers, high cholesterol, viral infections and Alzheimer’s disease are currently under research. Side effects may include rashes, hives and diarrhea.

Vitamin D3, one of the most important vitamins for the body, can be obtained from food or from exposure to sunlight (80-90% of what the body gets). Although traditionally believed that it main role is in fixating calcium and phosphorus and helping the bone system grow and maintaining its density, there is evidence for the presence of the vitamin D receptor in brain, meaning that this vitamin may have some function in this organ. So far, scientists have shown that vitamin D activates and deactivates certain enzymes in the brain and the cerebrospinal fluid which are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and nerve growth.

The formula has no side effects mentioned. Also, we could not identify product reviews to see if consumers reported any side effects either. The recommended daily dosage is 2 soft-gels.

Conclusion

Mental Advantage is a combination of Vitamin D3 and herbal ingredients possessing strong neuro-protective properties. The formula is designed to assist with issues faced by an aging brain, particularly those affecting memory, concentration and cognitive function.

While no evidence is brought by the manufacturer to support the benefit claims, nor are there any consumer testimonials available online to help validate Mental Advantage’s effectiveness, the formula is likely to work for some consumers since the ingredients have been scientifically proven to benefit certain areas of the brain.

Given that not all patients react in the same way to the same medicine, we advise our readers to consult a healthcare provider before use.
