Cautions
Always read the label. Take only as directed. Not to be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always consult your healthcare professional if on prescription medication.
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most popular and effective herbal products available. This extract taken from the Ginkgo Biloba leaf can help with things like improved circulation to the brain, fighting free radicals, prevention of cholesterol buildup in the arteries, and many other areas of your health and wellbeing. For mental alertness and good overall health, this ingredient is essential.
Centella Asiatica Herb (Gotu Kola)
Gotu Kola comes from a creeping plant that is slender and grown in India, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. The Latin name for the plant is Centella Asiatica, but regardless of what you call it, it is a very beneficial supplement. Gotu Kola can help with memory, fatigue, and venous disorders or deficiencies. This supplement has anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer properties, as well.
Fish Oil
Fish oil is one of the best known supplements to help improve brain health. Fish oil is full of DHA, EPA, and essential Omega-3 fatty acids that can help improve the brain function and cognitive abilities. This is one of the best supplements to help support the fight against dementia and Alzheimer’s disease because of how it works on the brain. At the same time, fish oil offers circulation benefits and even a reduction in inflammation throughout the body.
Panax Ginseng Root
Panax Ginseng root helps to stimulate and soothe the nervous system, decrease blood sugar levels, improve the muscle tone of the body, balance metabolism and related processes, and enhance the brain hormone activity without affecting the adrenal glands. This ingredient does a little bit of everything, but is especially useful when combined into MX Brain Swift’s formula.
Glutamine
Glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the human body, and is very important in building strength and muscle. It is also considered brain food, and can be used to help with everything including nervous system energy, arthritis, immune system disorders, tissue damage, fatigue, mental health disorders, and degenerative brain disorders like dementia.
Tyrosine
Tyrosine is an amino acid that is produced inside the body, and is important in helping with the synthesis of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. It also helps to produce many important hormones and can suppress appetite and reduce body fat. Tyrosine has been known to have a positive effect on the thyroid, adrenal gland, and pituitary gland.
Dosage
What is your recommended dosage?
We recommend 1 capsule a day. Not to be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always consult your healthcare professional if on prescription medication.
How will I benefit from MX Brain Swift?
MX Brain Swift will provide you with antioxidants, circulatory support, improved brain function, and many other benefits. This will help to ensure that your brain is in optimal health physically and mentally, including in regards to circulation, cognitive abilities, and the fight against free radicals.
Will I see immediate results?
No. Supplements take time to work because they have to revitalize the nutrients that your body is missing and build up your supply over a period of time. It may take a week or two, or sometimes longer depending on your state of health, to see full benefits. However, you will see benefits and improvements with MX Brain Swift in time. If you don’t like your results, we have a 6-month, no questions asked guarantee that stands behind each of our products.
Will there be side effects?
Normally, there are no ill effects with Maxalife supplements. If you do get a slight stomach upset, however, you should take supplements with a meal to alleviate that issue.
Can MX Brain Swift be taken with other medications?
You should always speak to your doctor before taking supplements in combination with prescription medications. Usually, there are no real problems with MX Brain Swift and other medications but it is better to be safe by discussing it with your doctor. Women who are pregnant or nursing should never take this supplement.
Can I take this product with other supplements?
Usually, it isn’t a problem to take our supplements together. However, you need to read the labels to make sure that you’re not overdoing it or getting too much of one specific ingredient or another. MX Brain Swift, like our other supplements, should not be taken while pregnant or breastfeeding. You should always talk to your doctor if you are taking prescription medication to ensure that you are safe.
Can MX Brain Swift prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s?
In a word, no. MX Brain Swift is packed full of ingredients that can help improve your brain health overall, including essential nutrients that restore and balance cognitive function and stave off the onset of degenerative brain diseases. MX Brain Swift can offer assistance in the prevention of serious conditions by strengthening your brain, but it is not a proven, guaranteed prevention for these conditions. In fact, there is no guaranteed prevention for dementia or Alzheimer’s at all.

Interesting Statistics about Brain Health
Dementia is one of the world’s fastest growing diseases, with more than 24 million people worldwide living with the condition.
Strokes, usually caused by poor circulation and blood clots in the brain, are responsible for 4.4 million deaths worldwide.
Only 10% of stroke victims will recover almost completely. As many as 15% die shortly after having a stroke.
The brain deteriorates faster with age. Between the ages of 65 and 85, Alzheimer’s risk doubles every 5 ½ years as the brain continues to deteriorate.
Women are more likely to suffer from an aneurysm then men.
Men are more likely to suffer a stroke, but women are more likely to die from one.
Your brain is 77-78% water. The rest is composed of nutrients and elements that your body needs to function normally.
Every day, the blood flow through the brain is equal to about 3-12 oz. soda cans in a healthy brain with good circulation.
After age 30, the brain begins to shrink. It shrinks by 0.25 percent every year (in mass). That means that by the time you are 60, your brain has 7.5 times less mass.

Bio-Availability
Natural calcium makes all the difference in a supplement product. Bio-availability is the rate at which your body absorbs nutrients based on their molecular shape and structure. With natural calcium and nutrients like those found in MX Brain Swift, you can trust that you are getting the most nutrients for your money and the best absorption, or bio-availability, possible. When you are looking at the different types of vitamins and other minerals to support your health, you need to find the most natural solutions available, which is exactly what we offer here at Maxalife.
Synthetic products and modified compounds are not going to be as effectively absorbed by the body simply for the sheer fact that they are not completely natural. The body is used to getting nutrients in their normal, natural state and when you alter the nutrients they will have less of a chance of being absorbed. That ends up being a waste of money for you because you’re not actually able to enjoy all the benefits of the supplement products that you are using.
Leave it to Nature
At Maxalife, we like to leave things to nature. We simply take the natural vitamins and minerals in our MX Brain Swift and other supplements and combine them in the most effective manner possible. We don’t try to modify nature or make improvements because we understand that nature knows best. What good is a natural health solution, after all, if it is not so natural or effective in terms of bio-availability? It just makes sense to let nature do its job and provide you with the nutrients that your body needs in a natural, pure form.
We have the purest, most natural calcium and other minerals in our MX Brain Swift, designed to be properly absorbed by the body and provide all the benefits that people deserve. You will find no synthetic products in our supplements because we let nature do the work when it comes to helping your health through supplementation.
Pharmaceutical Grade
This is a word that some companies use in an attempt to dupe people into actually thinking that there is something better out there. When you see advertisements or products that claim to be ‘pharmaceutical grade’, you need to beware. There is no such thing in the world of supplements. The best that you can get is a 100% natural, safe and effective supplement product. Marketers who are trying to aggressively corner the industry use words like this to entice people into thinking that they are getting something better than they might get anywhere else. The reality is that their products usually aren’t even the best supplements on the market.
At Maxalife, we are committed to helping people live full, healthy lives and all of our supplements are created with that commitment in mind. We use 100% natural ingredients that are pure and as fresh as possible so that you can get the most from your supplements. We don’t need to give them a fancy label or call them something that they aren’t because we create the safest and most effective supplements and stand behind every single product that we sell.
What about Regulatory Guidelines?
There are regulatory guidelines out there, but they are way too lenient and not nearly high enough to meet our standards. Maxalife is fully focused on raising the standards of quality in the supplement world, and you can trust that you are getting the best products available when you buy from Maxalife. Because of the largely un-monitored and inconsistent guidelines that are set forth by different agencies, we have given ourselves the demand of producing high-quality supplement products that go above and beyond the ‘regulations’ as they currently stand.
At Maxalife, we perform extensive testing to ensure that our supplements are the best that they can be and we keep all of our data on file so that we can keep track of how things are doing. If you every want to see just how serious we are about quality and purity, just ask.

Benefits and Clinical Studies
Ginkgo biloba, the main ingredient in MX Brain Swift, has proven itself to be very beneficial to both mental acuity and circulation through the brain. There are many different studies that have shown how beneficial this product can be, including in the areas of assisting in prevention of degenerative conditions and restoring mental focus.
Clinical Studies
Evidence for a therapeutic effect of Ginkgo biloba special extract. Meta-analysis of 11 clinical studies in patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency in old age
Hopfenmüller W.
Institut für Medizinische Statistik und Informationsverarbeitung, Freien Universität Berlin, Klinikum Steglitz
Abstract
Eleven controlled clinical trials were evaluated in a meta-analysis in order to proof the effectiveness of the ginkgo biloba special extract LI 1370 (Kaveri forte). All included studies were placebo controlled randomized double blind studies, using in most of the cases a daily dosage of 150 mg extract. The requirements for the quality of the studies were the basic criteria for the performance of clinical drug tests analysed from the biometrical scope. The analysis of the individual studies revealed that three studies had to be excluded from the meta-analysis according to methodological or objective reasons. In two further studies the evaluation of the physician or the patients was missing, therefore the studies could not be used for the analysis of the "global effectiveness". All other studies were comparable with regard to diagnoses, inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as methodology. Therefore a statistical meta-analysis could be performed for them, analysing the parameters "single symptoms", total score of clinical symptoms and "global effectiveness". For all analyzed single symptoms significant differences could be concluded, indicating the superiority of ginkgo biloba in comparison to placebo. The analysis of the total score of clinical symptoms from all relevant studies indicated that 7 studies confirmed the effectiveness (Ginkgo biloba being better compared to placebo) while only one study was inconclusive (the medications were not different). This relation confirms the therapeutical effectiveness of ginkgo biloba regarding the clinical symptom complex. Finally the parameter "global effectiveness" was evaluated.

Pharmacological Studies Supporting the Therapeutic Use of Ginkgo biloba Extract for Alzheimer's Disease

The standardized Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761® (definition see editorial) has been shown to produce neuroprotective effects in different in vivo and in vitro models. Since EGb 761® is a complex mixture containing flavonoid glycosides, terpene lactones (non-flavone fraction) and various other constituents, the question arises as to which of these compounds mediates the protective activity of EGb 761®. Previous studies have demonstrated that the non-flavone fraction was responsible for the antihypoxic activity of EGb 761®. Thus, we examined the neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic ability of the main constituents of the non-flavone fraction, the ginkgolides A, B, C, J and bilobalide. In focal cerebral ischemia models, the administration of bilobalide (5 - 20 mg/kg, s. c.) 60 min before ischemia dose-dependently reduced the infarct area in mouse brain and the infarct volume in rat brain 2 days after the onset of the injury. 30 minutes of pretreatment with ginkgolide A (50 mg/kg, s. c.) and ginkgolide B (100 mg/kg, s. c.) reduced the infarct area in the mouse model of focal ischemia. In primary cultures of hippocampal neurons and astrocytes from neonatal rats, ginkgolide B (1 ?M) and bilobalide (10 ?M) protected the neurons against damage caused by glutamate (1 mM, 1 h) as evaluated by trypan blue staining. In addition, bilobalide (0.1 ?M) was able to increase the viability of cultured neurons from chick embryo telencepalon when exposed to cyanide (1 mM, 1h). Furthermore, we attempted to find out whether ginkgolides A, B, and J and bilobalide were also able to inhibit neuronal apoptosis (determined by nuclear staining with Hoechst 33 258 and TUNEL-staining). Ginkgolide B (10 ?M), ginkgolide J (100 ?M) and bilobalide (1 ?M) reduced the apoptotic damage induced by serum deprivation (24h) or treatment with staurosporine (200 nM, 24h) in cultured chick embryonic neurons. Bilobalide (100 ?M) rescued cultured rat hippocampal neurons from apoptosis caused by serum deprivation (24h), whereas ginkgolide B (100 ?M) and bilobalide (100 ?M) reduced apoptotic damage induced by staurosporine (300 nM, 24h). Ginkgolide A failed to affect apoptotic damage neither in serum-deprived nor in staurosporine-treated neurons. The results suggest that some of the constituents of the non-flavone fraction of EGb 761® possess neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic capacity, and that bilobalide is the most potent one. In contrast, ginkgolic acids (100 - 500 ?M) induced neuronal death, which showed features of apoptosis as well as of necrosis, but these constituents were removed from EGb 761® below an amount of 0.0005 %. Taking together, there is experimental evidence for a neuroprotective effect of EGb 761® that agrees with clinical studies showing the efficacy of an oral treatment in patients with mild and moderate dementia.
Ginkgo biloba for cerebral insufficiency.

Department of Epidemiology, University of Limburg, Maastricht, The Netherlands.
Abstract
1. By means of a critical review we tried to establish whether there is evidence from controlled trials in humans on the efficacy of Ginkgo biloba extracts in cerebral insufficiency. 2. The methodological quality of 40 trials on Ginkgo and cerebral insufficiency was assessed using a list of predefined criteria of good methodology, and the outcome of the trials was interpreted in relation to their quality. A comparison of the quality was made with trials of co-dergocrine, which is registered for the same indication. 3. There were eight well performed trials out of a total of 40. Shortcomings were limited numbers of patients included, and incomplete description of randomization procedures, patient characteristics, effect measurement and data presentation. In no trial was double-blindness checked. Virtually all trials reported positive results, in most trials the dosage was 120 mg Ginkgo extract a day, given for at least 4-6 weeks. For the best trials, there were no marked differences in the quality of the evidence of the efficacy of Ginkgo in cerebral insufficiency compared with co-dergocrine. The results of the review may be complicated by a combination of publication bias and other biases, because there were no negative results reported in many trials of low methodological quality. 4. Positive results have been reported for Ginkgo biloba extracts in the treatment of cerebral insufficiency. The clinical evidence is similar to that of a registered product which is prescribed for the same indication. However, further studies should be conducted for a more detailed assessment of the efficacy.
Examining brain-cognition effects of ginkgo biloba extract: brain activation in the left temporal and left prefrontal cortex in an object working memory task.

Abstract
Ginkgo Biloba extract (GBE) is increasingly used to alleviate symptoms of age related cognitive impairment, with preclinical evidence pointing to a pro-cholinergic effect. While a number of behavioral studies have reported improvements to working memory (WM) associated with GBE, electrophysiological studies of GBE have typically been limited to recordings during a resting state. The current study investigated the chronic effects of GBE on steady state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) topography in nineteen healthy middle-aged (50-61 year old) male participants whilst completing an object WM task. A randomized double-blind crossover design was employed in which participants were allocated to receive 14 days GBE and 14 days placebo in random order. For both groups, SSVEP was recorded from 64 scalp electrode sites during the completion of an object WM task both pre- and 14 days post-treatment. GBE was found to improve behavioural performance on the WM task. GBE was also found to increase the SSVEP amplitude at occipital and frontal sites and increase SSVEP latency at left temporal and left frontal sites during the hold component of the WM task. These SSVEP changes associated with GBE may represent more efficient processing during WM task completion.

Vitamins and neural and cognitive developmental outcomes in children.
Benton D.
Department of Psychology, University of Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea SA2 8PP, UK.
Abstract
The role of vitamin status in the development of the brain and the subsequent functioning of the brain was considered. There are data with a range of vitamins, from animal studies and human studies in developing countries, suggesting that a clinical deficiency during the critical period when the brain is developing causes permanent damage. To date there is, however, with the exception of cases of clinical deficiency such as those that might be associated with a vegan diet, little evidence that variations in the diet of those living in industrialised countries have a lasting developmental influence. Similarly, later in life clinical deficiencies of various vitamins disrupt cognition although there is to date limited evidence that variations in the intake of single vitamins in industrialised societies influence functioning. It may well be, however, unreasonable to expect that vitamins examined in isolation will be associated with differences in cognitive functioning. The output of the brain reflects millions of metabolic processes, each potentially susceptible to any of a range of vitamins. A diet poor in one respect is likely to be poor in other respects as well. As such, the preliminary reports in double-blind placebo-controlled trials that aspects of cognition and behaviour respond to supplementation with multi-micronutrients may indicate the way forward.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate possible effects of Ginkgo biloba, a widely used herbal extract, on memory. This study incorporated a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, which used 30 healthy male subjects in each of two groups. The treatment group received two 60-mg tablets of BioGinkgo (LI 1370) daily for 5 days, while the placebo group received a placebo. On the fifth day, after a 2-h waiting period, all subjects were given the Sternberg Memory Scanning Test [Q. J. Exp. Psychol. 27 (1975) 1.], a reaction time control test, the vocabulary and digit span subtests of the WAIS-R [Wechsler D. Manual for the Wechsler adult intelligence scale — revised. New York: Psychological Corporation, 1981.], a reading span test [J. Verbal Learn. Verbal Behav. 19 (1980) 450.] and a prose recall test [Discourse Proc. 13 (1990) 387.]. Blood pressure, heart rate and side effects were also monitored throughout the study. Nonsignificant results were found on all interactions involving treatment group on all tests except the Sternberg Memory Scanning Test. The extract appeared to be safe but largely ineffective in enhancing memory.
