Everyone is different. Some of us seem to age faster than others. Some of us may have genetics that place us at a higher risk for Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. We can't do anything to change these genes anymore than we can change whether we are tall or short, have blue eyes or brown, have light skin or dark. But a growing body of research indicates that good nutrition can still give you the best chance to delay the ravages of aging.
Every so often we hear that this vitamin, or that nutritional supplement, doesn't really help. That's because no one vitamin can do it alone, whether one is healthy or not. Recent data from the Shea laboratory at UMass Lowell demonstrate that lack of folate and B12 induces greater loss of brain cells than lack of either one alone. More importantly, the research team demonstrated that supplementation with folate cannot overcome damage induced by lack of B12, and neither can supplementation with B12 overcome damage caused by lack of folate (Kifle et al., 2009, J Alz dis 16:533-540). In other words, you can't simply take a lot of one vitamin and expect it to help protect your brain. This would be like eating just one vegetable, or one meat, every day and nothing else, and expecting to be healthy. Our bodies, and our brain, simply don't work that way.
What makes MXL different is that it is a COMBINATION of 6 vitamins and nutriceuticals, each of which plays a different role in protecting and nuturing brain cells. Ths combination was developed over many years of laboratory study, and has been effective in published clinical trials.
Remember, MXL is a dietary supplement, and no supplement, no matter how good, can help you without a complete, balanced diet.
