The brain is the body’s most complex organ and is packed with around 86 billion neurons. Each of these neurons forms connections with many others to exchange information and create circuits, resulting in trillions of connections throughout the brain (2). n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n This breath-taking complexity and high demand for resources are how the brain enables us to do all that we do but it can also be a vulnerability.

Phosphatidylserine supplementation in older individuals has been reported to improve memory and cognitive capacity (6, 7). In addition, research suggests it supports brain function to promote mental focus, concentration, and stress resilience (8-10).n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Purslane (n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n Portulaca oleracean n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n ) Extract:n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n   Native to India and Persia, purslane is now consumed globally as a food.

<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n In 1901, seeds with purported health benefits from an unusual fruiting tree located in Southeast Asia were provided to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (1). n n </span> n <span> n n  n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n These seeds were then distributed to tropical environments in the Americas for investigation as a potential crop. The trees did rather well in places like Florida, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Panama; indeed, the crop’s nutrient density sparked much enthusiasm at the time.  n n </span> n <span> n n  n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n This enthusiasm, unfortunately, was short-lived, as the fruit was not well received, perhaps due to its small size and pungent taste. By the mid-20n n </span> n <span> n n thn n </span> n <span> n n century, the fruit was generally disregarded in the West and mostly forgotten (1). n n </span> n <span> n n  n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”;margin:0px;”> n <span style=””> n n Known as Alma, or Indian gooseberry, Westerners considered this fruit an unattractive food. Amla is generally sour, bitter, and tough even when harvested in autumn after the fruits have ripened. These features are rather unsurprising when examining the chemical composition of the fruit as it contains tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenols (2). Although these bioactive components impart strong flavors, they also contribute to many of the fruit’s health-promoting properties.n n </span> n <span style=””> n n  n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n In comparison to its failed experiment in the West, Amla has been used for over 5,000 years in India and Southeast Asia (3). Rather than being viewed as food, Amla continues to be viewed as traditional medicine in these cultures. For example, Amla has been prized and used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine for vitality, longevity, and improving cognition (3). In Ayurveda, it is considered one of the principal Rasayana plants. Rasayana is one of the eight domains of Ayurvedic medicine and specializes in rejuvenation recipes, dietary regimens, or special health-promoting supplements (4).n n </span> n <span> n n  n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n Under Rasayana, Amla is considered an adaptogen and is used as a vitality-enhancer in India (5). Indeed, it is commonly cultivated in home gardens and is grown commercially. The fruit can be eaten raw, pickled, and juiced but is often provided as an extract.n n </span> n <span> n n  n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”;margin:0px;”> n <span style=””> n n Alma offers impressive cell protection benefits when assessed with in-vitro experiments (6). Some research suggests that extracts may positively impact cardiometabolic health (7).
