Omegor Mind: Prevention for Memory Loss?
I am 72 years old, hypothyroid, and have fairly good memory, but I see many cases of memory loss. I would like to know if Omegor Mind can be useful as prevention.
Dear Roberto,
Omegor Mind is a supplement formulated with a standardized and patented extract of Bacopa monnieri (Bacomind®). Its efficacy is clinically tested, and the formula includes omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, omega-6 GLA, vitamin C, zinc, and B vitamins. Some studies on Bacomind’s effectiveness are summarized on our official page, which you can find at this link.
In particular, both studies involved healthy adults aged 50 to 86 years, who were given 300 to 450 mg per day of Bacomind extract. After 3 to 6 months, positive effects were observed on attention and short- and long-term memory, including improvements in verbal and visual memory. The formulation is strengthened by the presence of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. More than 60% of our brain is made up of fat, and omega-3 fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain, particularly in the form of DHA. The action of DHA is associated with the function of certain brain membranes involved in transmitting information, receiving visual inputs, or producing ATP (an energy chemical essential to brain function). The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) states that DHA contributes to normal brain development, and a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA maintains normal brain function. The omega-3 fatty acid EPA is involved in regulating many physiological functions and is important for overall health. Additionally, in hypothyroidism, a diet rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory foods — such as fatty fish like sardines, mackerel, and salmon, as well as fruits, whole grains, raw extra virgin olive oil, and more — is very helpful. Supplementation with omega-3 EPA and DHA and omega-6 GLA, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions, is therefore especially recommended. The supplement composition also includes:
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which helps protect cells from free radicals and maintains normal nervous system function.
- Zinc, an essential trace element for all life forms. In the human body, zinc helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports cognitive function efficiency.
- B vitamins, a group of vitamins essential for our health. Thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), vitamin B6, biotin (B8), and vitamin B12 help maintain the normal function of the nervous system. Pantothenic acid (B5) supports mental performance and reduces tiredness and fatigue. Folate (B9) supports psychological function.
Therefore, I recommend Omegor Mind as a complete formula containing all necessary ingredients as a memory tonic and to maintain good brain function. The recommended dose is 2 softgel capsules per day, before a main meal to better promote absorption of the active substances. Please remember that your physician should always be aware of any supplement use, especially if you are already under medical treatment.
