Synopsis

1) Memory Zest Tea at a Glance

Memory Zest Tea is an herbal blend designed to be used as a tea infusion.The most important ingredient in the formula is the leaf of Ginkgo Biloba, one of the most used herbal remedies for memory. The plant contains more than 40 active substances, among which two are accounted for the plants therapeutic properties: ginkgo-flavone glycosides and terpene lactones. These two active components have been touted for blood enhancing and antioxidant properties.

Scientific research has been conducted for most of these assumed benefits, although not for all a conclusion has been reached. Ginkgo Biloba stimulates blood circulation, including peripheral and is believed to be beneficial for enhancing memory, alertness, learning capacity and cognitive function in general. It also improves well being and may help relief depressive mood and symptoms of anxiety disorders such as panic attacks or social anxiety. Numerous studies have focused on its benefits in preventing memory and cognitive decline associated to Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
The tea infusion obtained from Ginkgo Biloba contains key flavone glycosides and terpenes (particularly Ginkgolides A, B and C). Ginkgo is generally considered safe, although headache, stomach upset, dizziness, constipation, and forceful heartbeat have been sometimes reported.

3) What Does Memory Zest Tea Do?

Memory Zest Tea is an herbal mixture. It contains plants which have been historically used for their brain tonic and cognitive function enhancement properties. Gotu Kola, for instance, is an internationally recognized botanical medicine. It has adaptogenic, anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, cerebral tonic, diuretic and nervine properties among others. Evidence indicates it can strengthen mental function, and, while research is required to confirm this, it appears that Gotu Kola may have a potential benefit in Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive impairment conditions. Also, the plant’s adaptogenic properties account for possible benefits in managing stress symptoms and promoting a healthy response to physical, environmental, or psychological stress.

It is also held responsible for potential treating ulcers, relieve hemorrhoids and prevent blood clots from forming. Other uses, although not thoroughly studied, refer to potential benefits against anxiety disorders such as social anxiety or panic attacks. Side effects of Gotu Kola have rarely been reported and might include a headache, stomach upset, allergies at skin level, nausea, and dizziness.

Ginkgo Biloba is another critical component, touted for benefits in protecting the brain from memory impairing conditions (Alzheimer’s). Red clover contains isoflavones which are antioxidants that help protect brain cells from neuron damage caused by oxidative stress which may affect memory and thinking, abilities. The manufacturer recommends infusing one teaspoon in 1 cup of boiled water. No side effects or precaution are issued for Memory Zest Tea.

I made a habit out of drinking one cup of Memory Zest Tea every day, after breakfast. I am clear minded all day and I feel more relaxed and able to focus on my tasks.
