Brain and memory support

We couldn't have put it better. The brain ultimately controls everything: our mood, blood flow, muscle function, excretion, detoxification and everything else. Some traits operate voluntarily, while others occur involuntarily, subconsciously.

Before we reveal the secret: what are the nutritional supplements that best stimulate brain function? Before that, I would like to show with an example what kind of power the brain can have.

Everyone knows the placebo: a drug without an active ingredient that we believe actually has a healing effect. So, once we've cleared that up, here's the story¹: There lived a young man named John Doe (not his real name, of course) who struggled with deep depression. When he was at his lowest point, he saw an ad seeking volunteers to test a new antidepressant.

And John was happy to sign up for this: he didn't know whether he was getting a placebo or the active ingredient, and he didn't even think he could get a placebo. He started using it, and then during a low point he decided to end his life: he took all the test drugs. Then he felt sick, nauseated and fainted. His neighbors found him and in the hospital they found nothing but low blood pressure. But his symptoms did not go away: his speech was slurred, he was depressed - he looked like he was really going to die. But when they called the research institute who conducted the study, they said that John only received a placebo. Interestingly, all of John's problems were gone, his strength was suddenly back.

Do you see what our brain is capable of?! However, we can often feel that we are not in control of our own mind. Many times this is not even our fault, because the lack of a necessary nutrient or even increased inflammation can change our brain function. We want to help you with this now!

The most basic nutrients for our brain

Communication between nerve cells, i.e. signal transmission, is what makes the brain function. And the connections will be made by nervous system hormones - their special name: neurotransmitters.

Let's see what is needed for the right level of nervous system hormones:

1. Omega 3:It is found in large quantities in the cells’ walls. It is necessary for the formation of the electrical properties of the cell wall (membrane). ^2-5 And without electricity, there is no functioning of the nervous system. In addition, it is a very strong anti-inflammatory. ^6,7 In the past, people consumed much, much more Omega 3. ⁸ There were not so many chronic patients. For this reason and for the health of our brain, feel free to use Omega 3, 2-4 capsules a day! ⁹
2. Choline: also a part of the cell wall, and also a precursor of one of the most important brain hormones: acetylcholine. ^10,11 Food supplements containing such choline: choline bitartrate and lecithin.
3. B vitamins: due to their role in energy production, they (also) stimulate the functioning and development of nerve cells. Their absence can cause many nervous system problems. ^12-14 Thus, they are of fundamental importance - they are called vitamins for a reason.
4. Minerals: ions (that is, electrolytes) with a positive or negative charge are also needed for signal transmission in the nervous system - without them, the cell wall would not have electrical properties.¹⁵ With the lack of mineral intake, nerve conduction also slows down. This is why a lack of magnesium is associated with muscle spasms and why a lack of many minerals is associated with lethargy and fatigue.¹⁶
5. Vitamins: vitamins A, C, D and E protect brain cells due to their antioxidant effects, and vitamins D3 and K2 are essential for the absorption of calcium. And calcium is essential for nervous system signal transmission. ^16-20

The best brain stimulants: the secret recipe

Everyone wants to be able to concentrate more, to remember better what they have learned and to be able to pay attention to several things at the same time. In other words, let your brain spin like a merry-go-round in an amusement park. The good news is that many nutritional supplements and especially herbal extracts can stimulate brain function.

Here's the secret recipe:

1. Taurine: taurine helps the supply of nutrients to nerve cells, has also protective properties for them and, contrary to belief, lowers blood pressure rather than increasing it. ^21,22 Therefore, it does not have the same effect as caffeine. What's more: it even calms you down by stimulating the main inhibitory neurotransmitter (GABA).²³ With taurine, continuous use is important, if we only use it before mentally demanding tasks, it will not lead to the same results as continuous use.
2. Magnesium: low magnesium levels in the brain are related to reduced memory, because the cerebral cortex responsible for memory is highly magnesium dependent. Thus, magnesium is essential for brain stimulation.²⁴
3. Green tea extract: an antioxidant bomb that provides a super boost of energy, which not only provides mental performance, but also protects nerve cells.^25-27 And the caffeine in it is used slowly, so it continuously supplies you with energy. Awesome day starter! Due to its caffeine content, we recommend decaffeinated green tea extract for people with high blood pressure.

Use intermittently (one at a time):

1. Ashwagandha: believed by Indians to give the strength of horses. And now studies have shown that it can actually increase brain function, memory and concentration.^28-31
2. Gingko biloba: prescribed by doctors in some countries to treat dementia and mild cognitive impairment. It stimulates cerebral blood flow, so more nutrients can reach the brain. It also has mood-enhancing effects.^32-35
3. Rhodiola: an herb also used by the Vikings, which balances the level of stress hormones in such a way as to result in precise and efficient task-solving ability. Say goodbye to panic before complex tasks and say hello to unmatched memory and concentration!^36-40
