Your Shrinking Brain
Fuel the Brain & Reduce Brain Shrinkage
Wow, sign me up! As we age, brain shrinkage is a common problem.
Good news, there are things we can do to prevent this from happening.
- Nutrition, hydration, rest, stress reduction, exercise and reducing toxins are all important.
- Fats are key! Avoid the inflammatory oils (processed vegetable oils, margarine, spreads) and increase healthy fats like unrefined coconut oil, macadamia nut oil, organic grass-fed butter, extra virgin olive oil, olives and avocados.
- Drink plenty of water, about half your body weight in ounces of purified water.
- Eat foods rich in all the B vitamins, like nutritional yeast, grass-fed and free-range organ meat, wild caught fish, seeds, nuts, eggs, and raw cheese. Skip the grains, they are problematic on so many fronts.
- Stop excessive alcohol consumption. Sorry, but it shrinks your brain.
- Stop smoking.
- Reverse your Type 2 Diabetes, read my book, The Reclaim Diet
- Lose the weight the right way with real food, healthy fat, quality animal protein, non-starchy vegetables and some fruit, seeds, nuts. No processed food!
Why Supplement with an active B complex
Studies show that B Vitamins dramatically lower homocysteine, a risk factor for brain shrinkage.
It is important to take B vitamins as a complex, and not just individual B vitamins. B vitamins work together in various functions including cellular energy, red blood cell formation and neurological function.
It is extremely important to take B vitamins daily because they are water soluble and the body does not store them (except for B12).
Active B Complex provides a full-complement of essential B-complex vitamins in high potency amounts.
B-Vitamins play essential roles in many functions of the body
Optimal folate and B vitamin intakes are associated with healthy neurological function as well as cardiovascular support.
Each B-vitamin exists in multiple forms. Active forms are those that can be directly utilized by the body immediately. Active B-Complex features a potent blend containing the active forms of Vitamins B2, B6, B12, as well as Quatrefolic®-branded methylfolate (the bioactive form of folate).
Suggested Use:
Adults take 1 or 2 capsules daily.
Signs that you may be deficient in B Vitamins:
- irritability

- thyroid issues

Add extra B12–This is super beneficial for memory and brain health.
- B12 is essential for DNA synthesis and proper nervous system function.
- Supports healthy digestion, red blood cell metabolism and the breakdown of fat for energy.
- Beneficial for memory loss, insomnia, moodiness, ringing in ears, weakness, depression, and decreased progesterone in women.
- Avoid supplements that use the inferior cyanocobalamin (a molecule of cyanide, no thank you!)
