Researchers have reported that supplementing a diet with the sea organisms Ascidiacea, also known as sea squirts, reverses some of the main signs of aging in an animal model.
These sea organisms contain substances called plasmalogens, which are vital to our body processes. Plasmalogens are found all over our bodies naturally, particularly in the heart, brain and immune cells, but as we get older, the amount in our body decreases. This loss is also a characteristic of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
The researchers studied the effects of adding plasmalogens to the diet of aged mice.
They found profound effects on the learning abilities and physical symptoms of these mice.
Professor Lei Fu, says: "Our research suggests that plasmalogens may not just stop cognitive decline, but may reverse cognitive impairments in the aging brain. Additionally, aged mice fed with the plasmalogens grow new black hair that is thicker and glossier than aged mice not fed the supplement."
Synapses are a fundamental part of our neural networks and, therefore, crucial for learning and memory. Our synapses tend to be very plastic as children, but they decrease in number and deteriorate with age and in neurogenerative diseases, resulting in cognitive impairments.
A further characteristic of getting older is inflammation in the brain. Too much inflammation can have a negative effect on cognitive ability, as the brain's immune system becomes overactive and turns on itself, attacking neurons and preventing synapses from functioning correctly.
In this study, the inflammation in aged mice was greatly decreased in those given plasmalogen supplements compared to those on a normal diet, providing some insight as to why they performed better in learning and memory tasks.

havent bought one yet. I am going to buy some scallops while I try to decide if I want to spend $199 on it.
I decided to buy and found there was a $50 discount.fwiw
Did you pick ProdromeNeuro Plasmalogen Softgel Supplement or ProdromeGlia Plasmalogen Softgel Supplement?
Where did you find the coupon code. everyone that I am finding doesnt work
one of those is Omega 3 and the other Omega 9
