• • Reduce memory loss associated with stress and aging.

  • Reduce depression related to chronic stress.

  • Reduce stroke damage and support recovery, whether given before or right after a stroke.

  • Improve fasting blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides.

  • Reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension.

  • Relax blood vessels and thin your blood, similar to aspirin.

  • Protect against aspirin’s damage to your gut, particularly preventing ulcers
