Rosemary and sage, for those of you who want to get a leg up on their future alzheimers likelihood. It doesn't mention how much carnosic acid is naturally present in the herbs and it's apparently very unstable with low uptake in natural form, so I don't think we can just start spooning the stuff while we wait for the synthetic version.

Big Nature didn't want you to get the stable form of the drug for free.

Edited for to form. Very hard to parse originally.
