Buy Galantamine product for Alzheimer's disease and use for dementia

Galantamine is a newly available cholinergic medicine. Galantamine was isolated from several plants, including daffodil bulbs, but is now synthesized. Galantamine is available over the counter and also by prescription.
   Galantamine offsets reductions in central cholinergic neurotransmission in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by specifically and reversibly inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE). This allows more acetylcholine to be available in the brain. Galantamine is also a nicotinic receptor agonist. Another herbal extract that has potential in the therapy of Alzheimer's disease is Huperzine A.
   Being approved for the treatment of alzheimer's disease in both the US and in Europe, with trials of its efficacy in other dementia types (such as vascular dementia) already yielding positive results, galantamine has potential as therapy for dementia. Galantamine is currently not recommended for use by young individuals.
   The mental benefits from galantamine can continue for several years. (see below). For more information on memory improvement with natural supplements.

GalantaMind ( Galantamine ), 4 mg, Life Enhancement
GalantaMind is a designed formulation featuring galantamine, a phytonutrient extracted from the common snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis), daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus L.), and spider lily (Lycoris radiata), among other plants.As an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, galantamine competitively blocks the premature, age-related breakdown of the natural neurotransmitter acetylcholine, an essential molecule that supports memory function. Unlike other acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, galantamine also enhances nicotinic receptor activity, an effect long known to influence memory and intellectual activity. GalantaMind also contains the nutrients choline and vitamin B5, the precursor and cofactor, respectively, to the body's production of acetylcholine. Thus, the ingredients of GalantaMind help maintain - and possibly restore - proper memory function.

Galantamine and vascular dementia
Galantamine does not appear to be of significant benefit to those who have vascular dementia.

Galantamine study
The cognitive benefits of galantamine are sustained for at least 36 months: a long-term extension trial.

Alzheimer disease (AD) causes progressive cognitive and functional decline over years. Although cholinesterase inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in studies lasting 3 to 6 months, little is known about long-term therapy. To report the long-term cognitive effects of galantamine hydrobromide given continuously for 36 months in AD patients.  Subjects were 194 US patients with mild to moderate AD who had been randomized to continuous galantamine therapy in either of 2 double-blind placebo-controlled trials. Subjects subsequently received open-label continuous galantamine therapy for up to 36 months. Effects on cognition were analyzed as change from study enrollment baseline in scores on the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-11-item cognitive subscale. Cognitive decline in galantamine-treated subjects was compared with that in a clinically similar historical control sample of AD patients who had received placebo for 12 months and with the mathematically predicted decline of untreated patients over 36 months. The rate of cognitive decline of patients who completed the entire 36-month trial was compared with that of patients who withdrew for any reason during the long-term open-label extension.  Almost 80% of patients who received galantamine continuously for up to 36 months seemed to demonstrate cognitive benefits compared with those predicted for untreated patients. Cognitive decline over 36 months of continuous galantamine treatment was substantially less than the predicted cognitive decline of untreated patients with mild to moderate dementia. Thus, the cognitive benefits of galantamine seemed to be sustained for at least 36 months. These findings suggest that galantamine slows the clinical progression of AD.

Galantamine supplement questions
Q. I am interested in galantamine for my mother who has moderate to severe Alzheimer's and is on the two drugs for it. Will galantamine interfere with drugs like Aricept, which is doing no good anyway.
   A. Galantamine is a potent supplement and it could easily interfere with Aricept or other medications used for Alzheimer's. It is best to know how each medicine or supplement works by itself rather than combining them together and risking a potential side effect.

Would galantamine use interfere with taking tribulus terrestris extract?
    We don't suggest you take them the same day.
