Memeron™ combines the neuropharmacological properties of Galantamine Hydrobromide and L-Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine (Alpha GPC) in a balanced new formula that activates and nourishes memory centers in the brain to assist with mental recall. Galantamine has been historically used as a memory enhancer perhaps as far back as the days of Homer. In Homer's epic poem The Odyssey, a drug now believed to be Galantamine was given to Odysseus from Hermes- the messenger of the gods. Odysseus uses the memory enhancement substance to rescue his crew of sailors from the sorceress Circe.  Here is a quote from Will Block's essay on Galantamine: Homer's great epic of the ancient Mediterranean world, the Odyssey, was an oral history, argues mythologist Robert Graves. In his notable opinion, the ancient Greek myths are not merely esthetic and poetic creations, but records of events that actually took place and were forgotten by most - and would have been forgotten by all, had not Homer and others like him valued their preservation, telling and retelling the stories. In this way, the Odyssey is a tool for learning about mankind's past triumphs and errors. It is also a tribute to the value and sanctity of memory. THE BIRTH OF ODYSSIAN CONSCIOUSNESSOdysseus, the King of Ithaca and the hero of these tales, is a hero of memory. The Greek word for mind or intellect or consciousness, nóos, is essential to his character, and its opposite, antinóos - defined as forgetfulness, stupidity, or arrogance - is the enemy of Odysseus. Forgetting, in the epic tales, is seen by Odysseus as an affront to memory and is punishable by severe reprisal, in which, as often as not, the perpetrator is killed. In his ten years of wandering throughout the known world, there are many adventures, but in the history of pharmacopoeia, one stands out: his encounter with the beautiful sorceress Circe on Aeaea, her island home near Italy. MEMORY DILEMMAWhen Odysseus and his crew arrive on Aeaea, they are tired of the hardships of travel and fearful for their safety. Deciding to reduce their risk, Odysseus remains with his ship while half of his crew ventures inland, where they meet Circe, who offers her hospitality. According to Homer, she serves up a banquet of food into which she mixes malignant drugs so that they might forget their fatherland and their desire to return to it. Then, with a wave of her hand, she turns them into swine. Hearing of their plight, Odysseus sets out to free them. Along the way, in a forest glen, he is counseled by the god Hermes, in the form of a young man, who cautions him about dealing with Circe and gives him an antidote to protect him from the drugs that have taken down his crew. Hermes shows Odysseus the nature of the medicine, which has "a black root, but milklike flower. The gods call it moly and it is difficult for men to dig up." GALANTAMINE: THE FIRST NOOTROPICAccording to a paper published in 1983, the drug given to the crew was in all likelihood an extract from the plant Datura stramonium (thorn apple, or jimsonweed). This makes sense, because not only were their memories taken from them, they were cast into a delusional-hallucinatory state during which they believed they had been turned into animals.2 D. stramonium, among other drugs known to the ancient Greeks, is an anticholinergic that contains atropine and is known to produce such effects. Based on the description of the antidote moly, together with the immunity it gave Odysseus - thereby allowing him to rescue his crew from Circe and recover their memories - the researchers assert that moly is none other than the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor galanthamine (or galantamine, as it is now more commonly called), derived from the snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) and related species. Galantamine may be the first nootropic agent - a substance that enhances intelligent, purposive consciousness (nóos = consciousness, trope = a turning). As further evidence, the researchers offer the site of the picking: a forest glen, where the snowdrop grows more readily because of the moist, sheltered ground. Snowdrop is small, inconspicuous, and difficult to find, flowering only briefly in the early spring. Its flower is milky-white, as indicated by the name Galanthus (gala = milk, anthus = flower), its root is dark, and its bulb, when peeled, is onionlike. It can be found growing wild on the Balkan peninsula, including the Greek mainland and its islands, where it was thought to have originated. Also, the Greek physician and herbalist Dioscorides, who wrote the authoritative De Materia Medica, described the moly plant (without ever acknowledging its epic use) in ways that substantiate its identity as Galanthus, from which galantamine is derived. GALANTAMINE'S BREAKTHROUGH: ALZHEIMER'S REVERSAL?The realization of Odysseus, Homer, and Dioscorides is ours too, when the value of two recent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies becomes apparent. Their welcome finding is that galantamine may be superior to any other cholinergic supplement. It may not only slow the decline into the black night of Alzheimer's disease, but, for the first time, reverse it. Galantamine is derived from the flowers and bulbs of the Caucasian snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis), Red Spider Lily (Lycoris radiata), and related species of plants. Galantamine is proven to be a superb natural medicine in the treatment of memory deficits and cognitive decline. Galantamine was originally discovered by a Bulgarian pharmacologist in the 1950's and has since been used to treat mild to moderate cases of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Since the original discovery of Galantamine's neurological benefits, researchers have learned that Galantamine is a cholinesterase inhibitor that helps maintain the proper levels of acetylcholine in the brain. Decreased levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine have been positively correlated with memory deficits and Alzheimer-type symptoms. Galantamine replenishes acetylcholine in the brain helping to maintain healthy levels critical to memory and normal cognitive functioning. Recent research has also indicated that cholinesterase inhibitors such as Galantamine are most effective when taken in conjunction with a strong choline source. Memeron™ utilizes Alpha GPC as a powerful choline source that rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier for maximum effectiveness. The unique balance offered by Memeron™ ensures the brain is getting sufficient neurotransmitters and essential nutrients for sustained mental clarity. Here is more information about Alpha GPC from BioSynergy: Alpha-GPC has been shown to potentiate the effects of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and increase human growth hormone (hGH) secretion in young and elderly individuals plus patients with Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type (SDAT). Alpha-GPC also affects numerous biochemical and neurotransmitter systems that have been implicated in the development of age-related memory dysfunction (ARMD). Administration of Alpha-GPC has been shown to improve neuropsychological parameters in patients with SDAT and ARMD. Alpha-GPC also improves memory and cognitive performance in patients with dementia, and benefits those recovering from cerebral ischemic attacks. Alpha-GPC has been shown to reduce the recovery time in comatose patients suffering from head injury and antagonize the effects of scopolamine to improve memory, attention, and performance in healthy individuals. Alpha-GPC's cognitive and growth hormone (GH) enhancing effects appear to be primarily the result of stimulation of the cholinergic neurotransmitter system; however, other biochemically-related modulations and neurotransmitter systems have been implicated. Ageing, chronic or severe disease states, and prolonged stress - including athletic endeavors like marathons or 'ironman/ironwoman' events are associated with decreased hormone production, especially reduced secretion of human Growth Hormone (hGH) from the anterior pituitary. These life events are also associated with lower levels of free choline in the blood and tissues. Concomitantly, both quality of life and lifespan decrease, sexual desire and potency diminish, resistance to disease is reduced, muscles loose both protein (mass) and tone, and body fat levels increase. In clinical situations, significantly reduced secretion of hGH is associated with short stature, generalized muscle wasting, Andropause, anxiety, undesirable mood and affect changes which are often associated with depression, abnormal sleep patterns, loss of energy and stamina, and decreased cellular and humoral (antibody) immune functions leading to increased susceptibility to disease. Since 1984, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of recombinant human Growth Hormone (hGH) for the treatment of dwarfism due to hGH deficiency, Adult Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency (Somatopause), Turner's syndrome, and wasting associated with AIDS/HIV. Alpha-GPC can be used in anti-aging programs, as a less expensive alternative to injecting recombinant hGH, and to treat or reduce the symptoms of the Somatopause. Fate and distribution studies demonstrate that orally administered Alpha-GPC is absorbed quickly from the gastrointestinal tract and is transported in the blood to all cells and tissues, especially the brain. Alpha-GPC crosses the 'blood-brain' barrier and acts as a central nervous system (CNS) cholinergic stimulant while it simultaneously increases the GHRH-stimulated secretion of hGH by the somatotrophe cells in the anterior pituitary. The current understanding of Alpha-GPC's actions in the brain is that it increases hGH secretion in the pituitary by two (2) separate but interacting neuro-endocrine mechanisms; these are: 1. Modulatory - increasing cholinergic tone lending to decreased levels of somatostatin (produced by the hypothalamus), as a result of the administration of Alpha-GPC; 2. Regulatory - stimulation of hGH synthesis resulting from 'up regulation' of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone/Factor (GHRH/GHRF) in conjunction with receptor-linked stimulation of the adenylate cyclase (cAMP)-Protein kinase C (PKC)-inositol triphosphate (IP3) intracellular control mechanisms regulating hGH synthesis at the genomic level and its subsequent secretion by the anterior pituitary. Alpha-GPC has been administered to over three thousand (3,000) patients and volunteers in clinical trials and studies that have been published in the peer-reviewed literature. Minor, transient side effects have been reported to occur at a one percent (1%) frequency; these side effects, for orally administered Alpha-GPC, included diarrhea, dizziness, gastralgis, heartburn, insomnia, restlessness and skin rashes, which resolved when the amount of Alpha-GPC administered was either decreased or eliminated.  Memeron™ combines Galantamine and Alpha GPC to create one of the most effective memory enhancers available on the market today.
