Are you SHORTCHANGING your brain by taking this vitamin the WRONG WAY?

There’s a thief that’s ravaging communities of seniors…

And no deadbolt in the world is strong enough to keep your most precious possessions safe.

I’m not talking about your mother’s silver… or your heirloom jewelry…

I’m talking about your precious memories.

Right now, there’s no guaranteed way to PREVENT Alzheimer’s disease from taking hold… and DRAINING your brain of everything you hold dear.

And Big Pharma has got NOTHING to offer in the way of drugs to treat the disease.

But it turns out there is a natural way to buy you some time – by SLOWING its progression.

It’s a safe, cheap, and widely available vitamin – one that you might not be getting enough of through your diet.

And if you’re taking plain ol’ supplements, you might be getting TOO MUCH of the WRONG version of it!

Here’s how to get this vitamin trick just right.

A tale of 1 vitamin in 8 parts

Vitamin E may have been first discovered in 1922…

But there’s still so much that we are learning about it, even today!

And one of its most exciting potential uses is in saving your precious memories.

According to a 2014 study out of Finland that studied mentally sharp seniors over the course of 8 years, those with high vitamin E levels were less likely to suffer memory loss than those with lower levels.

That may be because of vitamin E’s reputation as an “antioxidant vitamin” – one that BEATS BACK the oxidation of lipids in your body, including your brain.

That means it can HIT THE BRAKES on brain cell damage… and PROMOTE cellular repair.

But that’s not all…

Because in a 2014 meta-analysis, Swiss researchers found that vitamin E’s powers may go BEYOND its antioxidant action…

And that the vitamin may ALSO influence enzyme signaling and gene regulation.

In fact, researchers who’ve DEPRIVED animal subjects of vitamin E have been able to INDUCE genetic changes linked to the development of Alzheimer’s.

That’s right, it’s actually possible to GIVE a rat Alzheimer’s… just by TAKING AWAY its vitamin E!

But what happens when you REPLENISH a supply of vitamin E that may be running a little low?

In 2014, a consortium of American researchers at 14 Veterans Affairs medical centers found that vitamin E supplementation could DELAY Alzheimer’s decline…

And by as much as 6 months!

That study – part of the TEAM-AD clinical trial – focused on folks already diagnosed with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease.

The participants who took vitamin E were able to MAINTAIN their daily routines

And being able to STAY independent… and HOLD OFF on hiring a caregiver… could be PRICELESS for a senior who’s used to taking care of themselves.

But it appears that there’s a “point of no return” when it comes to INTERVENING with vitamin E.

You’ve got to start early… BEFORE cognitive impairment progresses too far BEYOND the “mild” stage… or it won’t make much of a dent.

The VA study I just mentioned gave participants 2000 IU daily of vitamin E…

But some experts think that’s too high and that you should stick to less than 400 IU daily.

And while it’s true that TOO MUCH vitamin E seems to have the OPPOSITE effect… and that according to research, you’ve got to hit that sweet spot in the middle…

There’s a trick to getting your E levels JUST RIGHT.

Because we’re not talking about just one singular vitamin here…

But a family of nutrients, naturally available in 8 different forms.

Each of them… 4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols… serves its OWN purpose.

Now, most vitamin E supplements contain ONLY 1 of these forms – alpha-tocopherol.

That’s the one that’s MOST abundant and bioavailable for humans…

But evidence is pretty clear that alpha-tocopherol can actually COMPETE with other forms of vitamin E… and INTERFERE with their activities!

Look for a supplement that contains a full spectrum of total tocotrienols with mixed tocopherols.

Ideally, it won’t be derived from soy… or partially manufactured in a lab… but extracted from a plant source like annatto or palm oil.

Look for a patented extract called EVNol on the ingredient list printed on the bottle’s label.

Vitamin E is soluble in fat, not water… so be sure to take your supplements with food.
