Why Brain Health Is Really a Blood Flow Issue
When your blood vessels can't do their job, your brain pays the price.
The prediction is that 42% of people develop some dementia when they are older.
We often think of dementia and memory loss as brain-based problems—but they’re just as much vascular issues.
- Over 80% of people with Alzheimer’s exhibit vascular issues like hypertension, diabetes, or atherosclerosis.
- High blood pressure causes tiny vessels in the brain to narrow, stiffen, and rupture—reducing oxygen and nutrient delivery to neurons.
- In preclinical Alzheimer's disease, changes in brain vasculature—including blood flow and vessel integrity—occur before the appearance of hallmark biomarkers like β-amyloid and tau.
- Damage to the endothelial glycocalyx and impaired microcirculation are now recognized as major drivers of cognitive decline.
What You Can Do Right Now
ReVasca™ is a powerful, science-backed nutraceutical designed to support the glycocalyx—that protective inner lining of your vessels—to improve blood flow and protect your brain from vascular damage.
- It promotes healthy blood flow
- It improves oxygen delivery to the brain
- It supports vascular integrity in the presence of hypertension or inflammation
Combined with exercise, good diet, and social interaction, it will be an important tool to the prevention of dementia.
Furthermore, Fucoidan, a bioactive polysaccharide found in brown seaweed, shows promise as a potential agent for treating depression. Studies suggest it can exert antidepressant-like effects by modulating inflammation in the brain, particularly in the hippocampus, and by influencing synaptic plasticity. Furthermore, fucoidan may act on the gut-brain axis, potentially impacting depressive symptoms.
