Phytopharmacological Correction of Functional State, Hormonal Status, and Memory Performance in Patients of Different Ages with Organic Changes in Brain Vasculature

Abstract

A course of medication with the Kardisten dietary supplement normalizes an elevated blood cortisol level and optimizes the activity of brain vasculature to improve the functional state and enhance short- and long-term memory performance, especially in subjects younger than 50. Kardisten evokes a more pronounced decrease of cortisol level and improves memory performance more efficiently in the case of initial organic changes in the brain vasculature as compared to advanced atherosclerosis. Kardisten activates the natural mechanisms of enhanced functional capacity in the human organism, exerts a favorable effect on mature and elderly persons, and can be recommended for physical and mental health improvement and the preservation of an active lifestyle during aging.
