Cognicil

Who is Cognicil for?

• For people prone to forgetfulness, losing their train of thought, or a decline in concentration.
• For those whose work or learning intensely demands memory, during periods of mental load, and who are looking for foundational support.
• For those seeking natural solutions.

Why Cognicil rather than a conventional memory supplement?

• Six plants in synergy: boswellia, clove, rosemary, ginger, acacia, birch sugar. Not a single active ingredient, but a formulation based on the principles of the Unani Tradition.
• A Unani approach to cognition: supporting vascularisation and oxygenation of the brain. Many memory formulas are limited to ginkgo or bacopa alone; Cognicil goes further.

The brain in brief
The brain is the centre of the nervous system and, as such, the control tower of our body. Up to 100 billion nerve cells, or neurons, constantly communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals (neurotransmitters) that transmit nerve impulses. Arranged in networks, like interconnected micro-computers, they meet at the point of contact where the nerve message passes: the synapse.

It is thanks to this neural network that we can walk, think, speak, remember, and that our five senses, consciousness, reflexes, emotions, biological clock, and vegetative functions work. Taking care of our brain means taking care of our body.

The deterioration of brain functions will therefore lead to a progressive physical decline. Taking care of our brain means taking care of our body.

How the brain protects itself
The brain benefits from three protective systems:

• The cranial bones: they form a first solid shell.
• The meninges: three in number, they act as a barrier against infections.
• Cerebrospinal fluid: constantly renewed, it has a protective role, ensures constant pressure inside the skull, and helps evacuate waste.

How the brain is nourished
The brain uses 20% of the body's total energy, yet represents only 2% of body weight. It draws this energy primarily in the form of sugar (glucose) and oxygen, minerals and other nutrients that it can absorb from the cerebrospinal fluid in which it bathes, but also receive through the blood via blood vessels.

Brain degeneration: main causes

• Increased exposure to chemicals through food or the environment and the resulting accumulation of waste.
• Diabetes and high blood pressure.
• Certain medications: beta-blockers, anxiolytics, painkillers...
• Lack of sleep, as it affects the nervous system.
• Increased life expectancy... although nowadays, memory deficits and cognitive disorders can appear as early as age 45.

Memory and cognitive disorders from the perspective of the Unani Tradition
Each organ has an ideal operating temperature. The brain has the lowest required operating temperature, between 35.5° and 36°. Minor changes in this temperature lead to significant variations in neuronal cell metabolism and therefore in brain function.

There is an ideal composition of the organic fluids in which cells bathe, which allows optimal functioning of organs and therefore of the body. Anything that causes a qualitative change in these fluids represents a threat to health.

Industrial food, increased consumption of chemical sugars, pollution, and stress promote the formation of excess waste that cannot always be eliminated by cerebrospinal fluid or blood flow. Over time, this alters the optimal operating conditions of the brain. Vascularisation and oxygenation of the brain, the plasticity of neuronal membranes, neurotransmitter synthesis, and communication between the neuron's internal environment and its extracellular environment are all impaired.

Reasons for hope

• Neurogenesis: While the bulk of neurons are formed during embryonic development, we now know that new neurons and therefore new neural networks can form throughout life.
• Prevention: It is very effective and involves good nutrition, physical and mental exercise (crosswords, Scrabble, learning...), social and emotional relationships, and positive emotions.

Action of Cognicil

Supports memory, concentration, and cognitive functions; contributes to mood balance.

Made entirely from plants, Cognicil acts according to Unani logic: it contributes to vascularisation and oxygenation of the brain. Combined with a healthy lifestyle, it is part of a brain ageing care approach. According to the Unani Tradition, it tempers the cold humours that congest the body and rise to the brain, and facilitates waste elimination.

The beneficial power of plants

"Throughout history, plants have been used for their antioxidant and 'anti-ageing' properties, and to support brain ageing."
