consumerlab.com analiza productos para mejorar la memoria

El estudio de consumerlab.com de productos para mejorar la memoria encontró que algunos productos estaban contaminados o contenían productos tóxicos en cantidades no aceptables y otros no contenían los principios activos que se publicitaban, aún en marcas muy reconocidas. Otros productos estimulantes a base de cafeína tenían dosis en exceso (hasta 1.223 mg /día).

"ConsumerLab.com tested supplements used to improve memory and cognitive function made with ginkgo, huperzine A, phosphatidylserine, and/or acetyl-L-carnitine.

But CL found significant amounts of lead in supplements made with a form of ginkgo, while those made with another form did not. Several ginkgo supplements were also low in key compounds. And there was no active ingredient in a huperzine A product. Other products successfully passed the testing"

"Jarrow Gingko Biloba 60mg lacked the active compounds and received a Not Approved.
Life Enhancement' s Huperzine-A contained NO Huperzine-A and (obviously) received a Not Approved.

They reconfirmed our view that the latest research on soy derived phosphatidylserine (PS) shows no efficacy in humans. Previous postive results came from bovine derived PS."
