Description:
Brain System
Neuroprotection for successful brain aging

Indications:
Senilife is a diet supplement with a neuroprotective effect (protection of neurones against degenerative processes) for successful brain aging, indicated for the pathophysiological brain aging of elderly animals (dogs and cats). Complementary to medical and behavioural treatment for recovery of the adaptive capacity in the event of behavioural, emotional and cognitive disorders associated with aging (e.g. confusional syndrome, involutional depression, dysthymia, hyper-aggressiveness, anxiety or phobic states).

• High efficacy in recovery of normal behavior
• Improvement of clinical signs within 7 days
• Safe for long-term use
• Convenient oral dosing capsules given orally or opened and sprinkled onto food.

Directions for Dogs and Cats:
Daily dose (for a minimum of 3 months)

Dogs:	Less than 30 lbs.	- 1 capsule
	30 lbs. - 50 lbs.	- 2 capsules
	51 lbs. and greater	- 3 capsules
Cats:		- 1 capsule

These doses can be increased at the veterinarian's discretion.
The product can be administered throughout the animal’s life.

Each capsule contains

Phosphatidylserine	25mg
Ginkgo Biloba extract	10mg
Vitamin B6	20.5mg
Vitamin E	33.5mg

Properties
Neuroprotective nutraceutical for a successful brain aging. Thanks to its natural active constituents, the product is particularly suitable for optimizing pathophysiological brain aging, and for helping the recovery of the adaptive capacity in older subjects with behavioural, emotional and cognitive disorders associated with aging.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an orthomolecule (ie. a substance naturally present in the body) with a phospholipid nature which constitutes one of the main "building blocks" of the cell membranes. PS not only facilitates the neuronal activities that depend on the cell membrane (i.e. release of secretory vesicles) but can also restore the correct levels of the neurotransmitters (e.g. acetylcholine and dopamine), normalize the density of neuronal receptors (e.g. muscarinic receptors and NGF receptors) and in macroscopic terms act on the typical signs of cognitive deficit, improving memory, orientation, learning and social behaviour.
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) has been reported to be a coenzyme for the synthesis of different neurotransmitters (i.e. serotonin), thereby supporting PS in normalizing neurotransmitters levels and synaptic transmission.
The active components of Ginkgo biloba extract (flavonols, ginkgolides and bilobalides) protect brain cells (neurones and astrocytes) by exerting antioxidant and cerebrovascular effects. They are further involved in maintaining brain metabolism and glucose uptake. Resveratrol - a polyphenolic compound found in grapes - has been shown to protect neurons against toxicity of free radicals and beta-amyloid peptides. In an animal model of neurodegeneration it was able to prevent spatial memory deficits. Recent evidence suggests resveratrol to be a therapeutic candidate in the management of age-related dementia.
Vitamin E, which is contained in its natural form (d-alpha-tocopherol), strengthens the antioxidant effects of Ginkgo biloba.
