GalantaMind & Anatabine Citrate - similarity of action?

http://www.life-enhancement.com/shop/product/gm-galantamind

GalantaMind features galantamine, a phytonutrient extracted from the common snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis). As an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEl), galantamine competitively blocks the premature, age-related breakdown of the natural neurotransmitter acetylcholine, an essential molecule that supports memory function.* Unlike other AChEls, galantamine also supports proper nicotinic receptor activity, an effect long known to influence memory function.* Galantamine is the same memory-function enhancer used 3200 years ago by the Greek hero Odysseus, the champion of memory and the enemy of forgetfulness.*

Interesting similarity to the description of the action of anatabine citrate as found at Roskamp and RCPI.

Articles by Life Enhancement's Will Block, are worthwhile reading. Galantamind is Block's formulation. Also working with Life Enhancement are Durk Pearson* and Sandy Shaw, authors of the groundbreaking Life Extension, published 1982. Pearson and Shaw were the experts who led the trials that forced the FDA to allow the truth about prevention of birth defects to be printed on labels of folic acid supplements.
