Keep a LOCK on your precious memories with this ‘trumpet’ herb
Friend, I know you may think that you’ve got to accept a certain amount of memory loss as you age.
“Well, she’s getting older. She forgets things.”
I’ll be DARNED if anyone says those dreaded words about me!
I plan to say sharp WELL into my “golden years.”
So, I’ve been dedicating A LOT of time and effort to try to uncover the most CUTTING-EDGE solutions for cognitive support out there.
There’s no “magic pill” for DECLINING brainpower yet…
But our hands aren’t tied.
There are steps we can take towards KEEPING our precious memories firmly in our grip…
And not letting cognitive health take a hit from “old age.”
The Indian trumpet tree (Oroxylum indicum) grows in the Himalayan foothills of India…
Where folks hang garlands of the flowers from their roofs for protection.
The native tribes of Thailand, Tibet, and Nepal eat the trumpet-shaped flowers and seed pods as both food and medicine…
And the ancient medicinal practice of Ayurveda… which calls it “Shyonaka” or “Sona Patha”… REVERES its seeds and bark for their healing power.
Ayurvedic practitioners use them to SHORE UP immune function… FIGHT infections… BANISH arthritis pain… and more.
Modern science has discovered that Indian trumpet tree extract offers extraordinary anti-inflammatory action…
And that it gets much of its power from an antioxidant compound called oroxylin A.
But according to the latest science, EXTINGUISHING inflammation is just ONE of the ways that it could help RESTORE cognitive health.
It’s also been found to help IMPROVE memory by increasing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus, or the “memory center” of the brain.
You’ve read about BDNF before right here in eAlert – and how it acts like “Miracle-Gro” for your brain.
And what’s one of the culprits behind memory loss and other cognitive deficits in aging folks?
Brain SHRINKAGE!
Oroxylin A also promotes cAMP response element-binding protein (or CREB for short)… which is associated with long-term memory.
In one animal study, oroxylin A from Indian trumpet tree was able to REVERSE memory impairments caused by certain drugs.
And in a 2020 animal study, Indian trumpet tree extract was even able to SUPPRESS oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction that the researchers tried to induce by giving the subjects chemotherapy!
Now, I know that sounds GOOD…
But even BETTER is how a 2021 study out of Australia found that this same extract worked on REAL PEOPLE, helping them to improve… episodic memory (being able to recall personal stories)
immediate word recall
number recall, and
learning speed.
And this was a “gold standard” clinical trial… meaning it was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. You don’t get better than that in terms of study quality.
Those last two studies I just mentioned used a patented form of Indian trumpet tree extract, called Sabroxy, which was standardized to contain 10% oroxylin A.
A clinically studied dosage is 500 mg, twice daily.
You can find it in tablet or powder form from Nootropics Depot.
Oroxylin A is also a component of Chinese skullcap, which you can find in supplement form as well at your local health food store or online.
