Another example is how anatabine stops chronic and progressive neuroinflammation but does not in itself repair the damage, just prevents further damage. Take 2 mice and beat them over the head, treat one with anatabine and the other no treatment. The mouse treated with anatabine will function significantly better than the one that does not get the juice, due to significantly improved long-term spatial memory, BUT NEITHER ONE WILL EVER BE BACK TO NORMAL. Proven fact. Now if a tennis player is taking anatabine before a stressful workout, there is a strong likelihood that the effects on the body will be minimized and the ability to play at a certain level would be extended, BUT HE/SHE WILL NOT PLAY BETTER as a result of taking anatabine citrate.
