What is MEMORY-FX™?

  • MEMORY-FX™ is a highly purified extract containing 100mg of HT1001, a proprietary ChemBioPrint® product containing a minimum of 13 mg total ginsenosides extracted from Panax quinquefolius (North American ginseng root) and 60 mg of Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgo) extract standardized to 24% ginkgo flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones.

What’s the benefit of adding Ginkgo to REMEMBER-FX™ since it already helps temporarily restore mental alertness when experiencing fatigue?

  • Ginkgo works to help you stay mentally sharp in different ways than REMEMBER-FX™. The two ingredients are complementary. REMEMBER-FX™ works to enhance working memory and mental alertness and Ginkgo works to enhance ability to focus and improves memory and cognitive function.

How does MEMORY-FX™ work?

  • MEMORY-FX™ is scientifically proven to enhance mental performance and memory. The two ingredients in MEMORY-FX™ work in a slightly different yet complementary manner to each other HT1001.

    1. Enhanced uptake of Choline by nerve endings in the brain. Several mechanisms of action for the beneficial effects of HT1001 on mental alertness have been identified. The primary mechanism is thought to be through enhancing availability of Acetylcholine (ACh). This important neurotransmitter is involved in mediating mental alertness, in addition to its well known role in memory and learning.

    2. HT1001 treatment stimulates neurite outgrowth in cultured nerve cells and has been shown to exhibit nerve growth factor-like effects, i.e., to re-establish the lost synaptic contacts between nerve cell.

    Ginkgo: The mechanisms of action of Ginkgo are thought to involve several activities including increasing blood supply to the brain, protecting nerve cells from further injury and providing antioxidant effects.

Does MEMORY-FX™ have a Natural Product Number (NPN)?

  • An application for licensing has been submitted to Health Canada.  The NPN is pending.

What is ChemBioPrint®?

  • ChemBioPrint is a patented standardization technology that is used to ensure the quality and consistency of all ChemBioPrint® products. ChemBioPrint® stands for Chemical and Biological fingerPrinting. In the case of MEMORY-FX™, Chemical fingerprinting identifies a “print” of the active chemical components of MEMORY-FX™ that enhance the availability of Acetylcholine. Biological fingerprinting verifies and standardizes the effect of the extract on the brain through a series of laboratory evaluations. MEMORY-FX™ undergoes vigourous testing to ensure that every batch has consistent chemical identity and biological activity.

What is the dosing regime for MEMORY-FX™?

  • MEMORY-FX™ is indicated for adults at a dose of two capsules per day.  For best results take when experiencing fatigue and do not take within four hours of bedtime. 

Have clinical trials been conducted to support safety and efficacy of MEMORY-FX™?

  • Clinical trials involving a diverse population of subjects including healthy individuals, students, and seniors, and patients with chronic schizophrenia have been carried out with HT1001.  In those trials, HT1001 was found to be effective, safe and well-tolerated.
  • Standardized Ginkgo has been studied extensively in randomized and placebo-controlled clinical trials which have been published in respected peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals.
  • No trials have been conducted to date on the combination product.

Are there any side effects with MEMORY-FX™?

  • In clinical studies, side effects have not been associated with REMEMBER-FX™ or Ginkgo.

Are there any cautions against taking MEMORY-FX™?

  • Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, or seizures
  • Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Do not use if you are taking health products that affect blood coagulation as this may increase the risk of spontaneous bleeding
  • Not recommended for individuals with impaired liver or renal function.
  • Individuals with known allergies to ginseng or ginkgo should avoid use of MEMORY-FX.
  • Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Is MEMORY-FX™ safe for individuals with certain medical conditions (e.g. lupus, diabetes, high blood pressure)?

  • MEMORY-FX™ is intended for use by generally healthy adults. It is recommended to consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, or seizures. MEMORY-FX™ should not be used if you are taking health products that affect blood coagulation as this may increase the risk of spontaneous bleeding. It is also not recommended for individuals with impaired liver or renal function.

Does MEMORY-FX™ interact with over-the-counter or prescription medications or other natural products?

  • Although MEMORY-FX™ is not known to interact with medications, some studies suggest that Ginkgo and ginseng may have potential to interact with some medications. For this reason, it is recommended to consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, or seizures.
