Hear Loss Formula is an intelligent formulation for combating hearing problems. Aids recovery after sudden or gradual hearing loss. Contains ginkgo biloba to improve blood flow in the ear. Contains magnesium to prevent the death of hair cells in the inner ear. Contains several exceptional compounds which increase the production rate of the most effective endogenous antioxidants (glutathione and superoxide dismutase). This supplement has been formulated to incorporate all the beneficial nutrients for combating hearing problems. Strengths have been selected to ensure balance and encourage the best possible synergy between compounds. Magnesium Magnesium (in the form of magnesium aspartate) is the formulation's most important compound. It increases the production rate of superoxide dismutase (a major antioxidant), promotes vasodilation, and prevents too much calcium from being released into ear cells following acoustic trauma. A two-month double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial has demonstrated the benefits of a daily 170 mg dose of magnesium for reducing damage to the auditory system in soldiers exposed to high levels of noise. Ginkgo biloba extract Ginkgo biloba acts in two ways against hearing problems. The flavonoids it contains, grouped under the name ginkgo flavonglycosides, work primarily on all aspects of the circulatory system (13). Once absorbed by the body, they help relax capillary resistance, increase blood flow to the inner ear, and combat platelet activating factor, which promotes blood viscosity and inflammation of blood vessels (14-15). They also act as 'flak-jackets' against the oxidants that cause our hearing to deteriorate, and improve blood flow (16-17). For their part, terpene lactones (particularly bilobalide) help consolidate the neural circuits involved in hearing. They help increase mitochondrial energy production in neurons and prevent oxidative elements from escaping. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (18), ginkgo biloba supplementation (240 mg a day) helped subjects with partial hearing loss recover auditory capability. Alpha-lipoic acid and glutathione The body produces an extremely efficient antioxidant for protecting against free radical-induced damage to the ear, called glutathione. Unfortunately, however, production of this antioxidant is reduced by a number of pathological and environmental factors (oxidative stress, diabetes, cataracts, atherosclerosis, pollution, smoking…). Glutathione has low bioavailability when taken orally, which is why SuperSmart has added one compound that helps the body produce more of it: alpha-lipoic acid. Quercetin and acetyl-L-carnitine Quercetin is used to treat memory loss but can also be helpful for sudden hearing loss. It acts by increasing blood flow in the brain (19). In its acetylated form, carnitine helps improve nerve deterioration (20) [this property is also used to combat Alzheimer's disease (21)]. Vitamins D, E, B9, and B12 These four vitamins are increasingly rare in modern Western diets, yet, they are essential for good hearing and for preserving the integrity of the auditory system. They are also involved in many physiological processes, especially in the brain. Deficiency in vitamin D (which is very common during winter) can result in cochlear dysfunction in particular. Suggested Use: Each bottle of hearing support formula comes with 60 capsules. The recommended daily dosage is 1 to 2 capsules per day, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. These capsules are designed to be taken orally. When taken, they go directly into the digestive system and are steadily absorbed into the bloodstream. It can take at least one hour for the compounds to be fully absorbed. It is recommended to take this supplement for tinnitus and hearing loss at breakfast and at dinner. They should be taken with meals to aid their absorption. While there is nothing wrong with taking them on an empty stomach, this will hamper the absorption and potentially diminish its effects. Ensure that the recommended daily dosage is not exceeded. With our hearing loss formula, there are no additional benefits to consuming additional capsules. The only result of upping the dosage of magnesium for hearing loss is giving the body too much of what it needs. Always follow the recommended daily dosage and maintain a log of its effects over the course of a few months. If any unpleasant or uncomfortable side effects are experienced, get in touch with a doctor for further advice and guidance.
