to increase overall cognitive ability, energy and vitality. It improves
memory and concentration. It is indicated for those with age-related
cognitive decline as well as for those who are faced with heavy cog-
nitive demands, such as college students It can help in Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by helping one pay attention,
sit still and process information.
Supportive Information:
Ginkgo is for cerebral vascular insufficiency and works by cerebral
and peripheral blood flow. As one gets older, blood flow to the brain
and to peripheral tissue decreases with these resulting symptoms.
Diminished cerebral circulation can also result in vertigo, ringing in
the ear, Alzheimer’s symptoms, forgetfulness and depression. Ginkgo
can help all of this. Ginkgo is famous in assisting memory, focus and
cognition.
Gotu Kola reduces adrenal corticosterone blood levels during
stress. It is high in flavonoids and studies show it helps in capillary
fragility and strengthens vascular integrity in the brain and through-
out the body. It is a cognitive stimulating herb for use in fatigue, con-
fusion and general lethargy. It is helpful for those exhausted from
emotional upheaval or excessive work habits.
Green Tea is a potent antioxidant that binds with free radicals to
neutralize their harmful effects. Green Tea is rich in polyphenols and
one in particular called a catechin. Catechins are 40 to 200 times
more effective in seeking out and destroying free radicals than
Vitamin A, C and E. Studies demonstrate the antioxidant effects of
green tea catechins improve overall reference and working-memory
related learning ability. Green Teas polyphenols are also believed to
help ward off neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s by protecting neurons against the harmful effects of
reative oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO).
Rhodiola stimulates the activity of serotonin, dopamine, and nore-
pineprhine in the cerebral cortex, brain stem and hypothalamus, and
increases the permeability of the blood brain barrier to precursors of
dopamine and serotonin. This enhances the effects of these neu-
rotansmitters on the brain and improves cognitive functions (think-
ing, analyzing, evaluating, calculating and planning), learning, atten-
tion span, memory and work productivity. Rhodiola also relieves
fatigue and normalizes mood in depressed individuals, and has
antioxidant properties that help protect the nervous system from
oxidative damage. By stimulating cognitive function, improving
resistance to stress and fighting free radicals, Rhodiola can have
immediate effects on cognitive function and memory and can also
provide long-term support to help preserve future brain functions.
Codonopsis is very similar to ginseng, but milder and more neutral
in energy. It increases stamina and alertness and keeps the body and
mind strong when under stress.
Licorice works as a limbic (emotional) brain tonic and tonifies the
stress axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal axis). Researchers have
found a compound in licorice known as carbenoxolone inhibits an
enzyme in the brain involved in making stress-related hormones
which have been associated with age related mental decline.
Phyto-Tech™ Brain Bio Boost Complex cannot be expected to
work overnight and is best if used consistently for at least 2 weeks. It
can be continued as a long-term tonic, especially in the elderly.
Dosage: 20-40 drops in juice or water, 2-3 times daily or as need-
ed
Cautions and Contrindications: While interaction unlikely, those
taking prescription blood thinners, or MAO inhibitors should advise
their physicians. Do not take during pregnancy, if nursing, or prepar-
ing for surgery. The amount of licorice in this formula is theorectical-
ly too low to affect blood pressure, but those with high blood pres-
sure should monitor their BP as a precaution.

California Poppy 1:3
California Poppy 1:3
California poppy has been used as a sedative to relieve insomnia
and nervousness.
In an article by Abascal K, Yarnell E., Nervine herbs for treating
anxiety (Altern Compliment Ther. 2004 December:309-315.), the
authors discussed California poppy. They first pointed out that “anxi-
ety disorders are common in many Western countries, and conven-
tional drugs like benzodiazepines are often prescribed to relieve anx-
iety. However, these drugs have worrisome short-term and long-term
side effects. Nervine herbs (herbs that quiet nervous excitement)
have a long history of traditional use in relieving anxiety, insomnia,
and mild depression. With the exception of St. John's wort
(Hypericum perforatum), kava (Piper methysticum), and valerian
(Valeriana officinalis), there is little published research on the safety
and efficacy of nervine herbs. The purpose of this article was to
review the available research and explain how the lesser-known
nervine herbs are commonly used in practice.” One of those “lesser-
known nervine herbs” was California poppy. They made the follow-
ing observation: “California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is used
for its mild analgesic and calming effects. Unlike the opium poppy
(Papaver somniferum), it has no narcotic effects. Animal studies indi-
cate California poppy tea reduces anxiety, acts as a mild analgesic,
and helps prevent drug-induced memory loss. Most herbal practi-
tioners combine lower doses of California poppy with other nervines
to relieve anxiety. Researchers studied a combination of California
poppy, hawthorn flower (Crataegus laevigata), and magnesium in
264 people with mild to moderate anxiety. Those taking the herb

stroke, and were more likely to outlive
women who got the least potassium. Women
with treated or untreated high blood pressure
saw no stroke benefit, but did outlive similar
women who got less potassium in the diet.
Discussing their findings, doctors said
potassium may be more helpful before high
blood pressure develops, and that it is impor-
tant to maintain a balance between sodium
and potassium.

Vitamin C improves circulation
and blood vessel function
Vitamin C can lower chances of heart
problems, but prior studies of vitamin C and
blood vessel function have been inconclu-
sive. In this review of 44 clinical trials cover-
ing 1,129 people, researchers found vitamin
C improved blood vessel function, particular-
ly in those with higher chances of vascular
diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart failure,
and diabetes.
Doctors said a thin layer, known as the
endothelium, lines the blood vessels and reg-
ulates their flexibility. Oxidation and inflam-
mation damage and stiffen the endothelium.
Vitamin C directly reduces this oxidation and
inflammation and also appears to make nitric
oxide, a powerful blood vessel relaxer, more
available to the blood vessels.
Discussing the findings, doctors said the
benefits of vitamin C began at doses greater
than 500 mg of vitamin C per day, and to
their knowledge, this is the first review and
analysis of the effect of vitamin C supple-
ments on blood vessel function in human
adults.

The nutrients Lycopene and
Grape Seed Extract shown to
improve blood vessel function
Lycopene
One of the main factors in heart health is
the ability of blood vessels to relax and
dilate. Researchers wanted to test the effects
of lycopene, one of the most powerful
antioxidants that help blood vessels relax.
In the study, 36 healthy people and 36
people with heart disease took 7 mg of
lycopene per day or a placebo, with doctors
requesting they maintain their regular diets.
Before the study, researchers measured blood
vessel dilation and found those in the heart
disease group had 30 percent less flexible
blood vessels compared to the healthy volun-
teers.
After two months, in the heart disease
group, those who had taken lycopene saw
53 percent better blood vessel dilation com-
pared to placebo. Everyone in the heart dis-
ease group was taking statin drugs, suggesting
that along with statin therapy, lycopene may
enhance heart health benefits.

Until recently, doctors thought harden-
ing of the arteries began with cholesterol
sticking to blood vessel walls. But now doc-
tors believe it is certain immune blood cells
that penetrate and stick to blood vessel walls,
creating lesions that begin a progressive
inflammatory response that is the first step in
hardening of the arteries.
