Summary

1) What is Mem-Plex?

Mem-Plex is a combination of herbal ingredients, vitamins and other nutrients designed to provide optimal brain health and performance.

The formula contains Vinpocetine, a chemical resembling a substance extracted from the periwinkle plant Vinca minor. Vinpocetine has been researched and shown to dilate blood vessels, enhance circulation in the brain and improve oxygen utilization. It can easily cross the blood brain barrier and may have antioxidant properties. Vinpocetine is considered safe, but can cause some side effects such as stomach pain, sleep disturbances, nausea, headache, nervousness and dizziness.

Bacopa Monnieri is an important in Ayurvedic medicine and has been used for several thousands of years in India especially. It is considered diuretic, nervous and heart tonic, cerebral activator, anti-asthmatic, anti-epileptic, anti-ulcer, antispasmodic, anti-allergic, anti-depressant and anti-oxidant. Regular intake of Bacopa Monnieri tea is believed to improve learning ability and reasoning capacity in both children and adults.

There are no Mem-Plex side effects or precautions mentioned by the manufacturer, nor are there any consumer reviews available.

3) Does Mem-Plex Work?

Advertised as a product that includes all the ingredients found in the market for memory boost, Mem-plex Brain, and Memory is recommended for people with memory deficits. This product contains Vinpocetine. Evidence has shown that Vinpocetine is derived from vincamine which is an alkaloid found in the periwinkle plants. The reasons people have introduced this ingredient into clinical practice in Europe is the role it plays in cerebrovascular disorders and related symptoms. Some of the qualities that this periwinkle extract may have are: dilating blood vessels, crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), enhancing circulation in the brain, making red blood cells pliable and inhibiting aggregation of platelets. The effects can be observed within an hour and a half after ingestion. However, the usage of Vinpocetine may lead to some side-effects, including pain, nausea sleep disturbances, headache, dizziness, and nervousness.

Another ingredient found Mem-plex Brain and Memory is CDP-choline, which stands for cytidine 5-diphosphocholine. It represents an intermediate found in the biosynthesis of membrane phospholipids and brain acetylcholine. CPD-choline has been approved in Europe and Japan as beneficial when it comes to strokes, Parkinson’s disease as well as other neurological problems. Some studies show that CPD-choline also has a role in making phosphatidylcholine in human brain cell membranes of older individuals and may improve mental performances in Alzheimer’s patients or elderly with memory deficits. Usage of choline is related to some side effects such as headaches, nausea, diarrhea or blurred vision.

There are no sufficient online testimonials to prove the Effectiveness or not- Effectiveness of this product.

Conclusion

8) Conclusion

Mem-Plex works to provide optimal brain health and neuro protection, so that age related memory and cognitive function decline is prevented. The core ingredients (Vinpocetine, Bacopa, Phosphatidylcholine, B-Complex vitamins and other vitamins) have been subject to clinical research or have traditionally been used to treat conditions affecting certain brain related issues.

Still, there are no consumer reviews or other evidence to support the formula’s effectiveness in this particular combination. Also, there are no side effects mentioned by the manufacturer, although separately the ingredients have sometimes caused unwanted effects. To conclude, we believe that a healthcare provider’s opinion would be a wise decision prior to beginning use.
