What is ProMind Complex?
Pro-Mind Complex is, as the name suggests, a memory improvement supplement.
But there's a twist.
The makers of the supplement point to dental bacteria as the cause of memory problems like dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
The bacteria (called Porphyromonas gingivalis) causes trouble when it travels from your mouth and gums up into your brain. Is this a hoax or are they on to something?
The bacteria produce a toxin called gingipains, which leads to memory impairment, serious memory loss, and Alzheimer's.
They go on to say that if you use their simple breath test – smell your breath in the morning and have smelly breath – you have this bacteria and are at risk of forget havingfulness, memory impairment, and other age-related diseases in the future.
Are they right? Is this for real?
Bacteria And Memory Loss
Research suggests dental bacteria may be linked to dementia.
Researchers have found the gingipains toxin is present in over 90% of people with Alzheimer's.
When researchers infected brain cell stem cells with the dental bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis (which makes gingipains), the toxin caused brain cells to die and reduced tau protein, which helps neurons stay healthy.
These bacteria also increase inflammation, a risk factor for dementia and other diseases.
This has led some researchers to call P. gingivalis a “strong risk factor” for Alzheimer's disease.
It's not known if this is true for those with occasional problems with remembering.
Dental bacteria have also been found in artery-clogging plaque, telling us they are linked to getting heart disease.
How Do You Take Pro Mind Complex?
Take 1 capsule per day. That's it. The company suggests taking ProMind Complex right after breakfast or lunch.
They say taking it this way will help you reap the benefits all day.
Do not take ProMind on an empty stomach. Taking it on a full stomach will help you absorb the nutrients better.
If you take it as directed, a bottle will last you a month.
Is ProMind FDA Approved?
The FDA does not approve dietary supplements.
What the FDA does do is regulate supplements.
Regulation and approval are different. Generally, supplement companies do not need to seek permission or approval from the FDA before selling products to the public.
ProMind Complex Research & Proof
Does Pro Mind have any verification that it works? Sort of yes and sort of no.
While there appears to be no research on ProMind Complex itself, there is research on its ingredients.
The idea behind the key ingredients is that they work better together than by themselves.
This is sometimes called the entourage effect.
While this effect appears to be real, there's no proof showing the combination of ingredients in ProMind Complex has an entourage effect.
Let's look at the research for each ingredient.
How Long Until ProMind Complex Results Occur?
The company says fairly soon, although this will vary from person to person and the memory problems you may have.
My advice is to remember improvements in health take time.
No supplement works overnight. This is especially true for getting your memory back.
The company suggests giving Pro Mind at least 60 days to allow the nutrients enough time to work their way through your system several times.
