Alpinia Galangal Rhizome 

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining mental clarity, sharp focus, and sustained energy is more important than ever for overall health and a fulfilling life. That's why we're excited to highlight two powerful, natural ingredients available at The Remedy Room that can help you achieve just that: Extract of Alpinia galangal (galangal) and Withania Somnifera (ashwagandha).
Discover the Benefits of Galangal for Enhanced Mental Performance. Looking for a natural boost to your mental edge without the jitters or crash associated with caffeine? We proudly offer a chewable, chocolate-flavoured tablet formulated with a proprietary extract of Galangal and Ashwaganda. This formulation has been specifically designed to:
• Enhance mental alertness
• Help improve attention span
• Increase mental endurance
• Support mental stamina
• Specifically 'Practitioner-Only' and requires a prescription to access. Reach out today to chat to our Naturopaths.

What makes the Galangal extract so effective?
Clinically Studied: The extract of Galangal at a dose of 300 mg per tablet is clinically
trialled. Studies have shown its efficacy in improving mental acuity.

Fast-Acting and Long-Lasting: You can expect to see improvements in mental
alertness within an hour, with effects peaking at 3 hours and potentially lasting for up to
5 hours. Clinical evidence supports sustained improvements in focus, concentration,
accuracy, and alertness

Caffeine-Free Alternative: This formulation is caffeine-free making it an excellent option
for those sensitive to caffeine, wanting to reduce their intake, or looking for cognitive
support later in the day. It can even be used in combination with caffeine and may help
reduce symptoms of the caffeine crash.

Mechanisms of Action: The extract of Galangal works by blocking dopamine reuptake,
thereby increasing dopamine levels, which helps with attention and focus. It
also inhibits adenosine receptors and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to attention enhancing and stimulant effects indicative of nootropic potential. These actions are
similar to caffeine but without the negative impacts on the cardiovascular and nervous
systems or the subsequent crash.

Supported by Research: Clinical trials using 300-600 mg a day of Galangal extract have
demonstrated increases in mental alertness, attention span, and cognition. Studies have
shown consistent improvement in alertness without decline over 90 days, and
no withdrawal effects upon abstinence. The extract of Galangal has also been shown to
enhance mental alertness and sustained attention at 1, 3, and 5 hours, leading to faster
and more focused information processing. Notably, the extract of Galangal resulted in
sustained focused attention with a lower error rate compared to caffeine. Safety studies
have shown that 600 mg daily of Galangal extract does not negatively impact nighttime sleep, heart rate, heart function, or blood pressure, even with continuous use for 3
months, and does not cause jitteriness.

Discover the Balancing Power of Ashwagandha for Stress and Cognitive Function
Another cornerstone of our natural cognitive support offerings is ashwagandha. This
revered adaptogenic herb has a long history of traditional use and is backed by modern
scientific research for its ability to help manage stress and support cognitive function.

Stress Reduction: Ashwagandha has been reported to reduce stress and attenuate
cognitive decline associated with inflammation and neurodegeneration in clinical
populations. Studies indicate its effectiveness in reducing stress and anxiety.

Cognitive Enhancement: Research suggests that ashwagandha supplementation (225
mg) may improve various aspects of cognitive function in healthy young individuals,
including memory, attention, vigilance, and executive function. Specific improvements
were observed in tests such as Word Recall, Choice Reaction Time, Picture Recognition,
Digit Vigilance, and Stroop Colour-Word. Participants also reported decreased feelings
of tension and fatigue.

Adaptogenic Properties: Ashwagandha enhances adaptogenesis and attenuates indices
of stress. It may offer benefits for neuropsychiatric conditions through the induction
of neuroplasticity, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Plain language
summaries also note its potential to improve cognitive functioning.

Neuroprotective Potential: Ashwagandha possesses anti-stress and neuroprotective
properties, potentially improving mitochondrial function and offering support for
conditions involving anxiety, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, and cognitive/memory
impairment.
