Most Western countries are experiencing an unprecedented increase in the number of aging seniors within their populations, with a comparably small number of youth. As these seniors age, Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia are becoming much more common, yet there is still no known cure.
Enter Chinese medicine. A compound made of three Chinese herbs has shown promise in treating people with memory problems, and it has now received approval to enter clinical trials in Australia and in China. We will be watching these trials with great interest.
Exerpt: “Over the last 10 years, Sailuotong has been systematically studied in the laboratory and clinical trials. These preliminary studies have shown Sailuotong improves the cognitive and memory impairment associated with vascular dementia”.
“Preliminary studies of Sailuotong showed it increased blood flow to the brain and those taking the herbal medicine improved their scores on standard cognitive tests.”

Where can I obtain Sai Lou Yong capsule?
Hi Evelyn,
It’s puzzling. I don’t know! You would think that it would be easy to find it somewhere on the internet to purchase. It may be that it is very expensive to produce, as it contains both saffron and ginseng.
I wonder how those clinical trials with the Sai Luo Tong are going. If they produce positive results, then it should become much easier to find because everyone will want some!
