While doing some reading, I came across this discussion at alz.org

One site (which sells the product which is why I have not included the link...) I found on Google using the search term CogniSure, states it this way:

quote:

Published research indicates it may help maintain the integrity of beta-amyloid, a substance whose breakdown appears to be associated with certain aspects of normal brain aging—such as brain cell health. This proline-rich polypeptide complex has been shown to increase the average lifespan of animals and cells. Provides antioxidant activity against lipid peroxidation and induced production of nitric oxide, and thereby helps reduce oxidative stress and support healthy mental function during the aging process.

Follow up searching of The Alzheimer Research Forum for these two nutriceuticals revealed many papers on the subject

Apparently this compound is well-researched and is continuing to be researched for development of a pharmaceutical version.

I was pretty impressed by what I read, both in the efficacy of the compound and in its relatively innocuous side effects. It is apparently most effective in persons with mild to moderate cognitive decline, which is of interest in slowing or halting the process rather than "curing" folks who are already suffering with a degenerative brain disorder.

If this interests you, PLEASE READ UP ON IT before deciding to order CogniSure™.

If what visionary says is true: ..."since taking this my stress levels have dropped dramatically, I’ve even given up smoking after 30 years and I’m convinced Cognisure as helped me with this." Cognisure should be in every caregivers tool kit. We could all benefit from lower stress levels. If I could at least succeed in cutting my smoking in 1/2, I would save enough to pay for CogniSure for both my self and my loved one.

Has anyone here tried the stuff?

MomsBuddy, thank you, very interesting information
