Brain Health Supplements: Supporting a Healthy Brain

Aging takes its toll on all of our bodies. In order to counteract the effects of aging we exercise, apply anti-aging creams and lotions, and adjust our diets to include healthier foods. But, what about our most valuable body part – the brain? Brain health supplements can help keep one's mind functioning at peak performance even as they age by providing specific nutrients that promote brain health.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids play a large role in brain health because the DHA found in them actually makes up a large portion of the tissue in the brain. In fact, Omega-3 makes up approximately 10% of the dry weight of the human brain. Taking brain health supplements that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids has been shown to improve cognition and to protect the nerve cells within the brain.

Magnesium

Magnesium has been shown to help improve cerebral vascular circulation. And with more blood and oxygen being delivered to the brain, clearer thinking and improved brain health can result.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid that helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are converted into energy. This amino acid, however, has also been shown to help stimulate the neurotransmitters in the brain.

B Vitamins

All of the B vitamins but especially thiamin, niacin, folate, and vitamins B6 and B12 play important roles in promoting positive brain health. Since the brain's primary source of fuel is glucose, vitamin B is needed in order to sufficiently metabolize the glucose.

CoEnzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is naturally produced in the body and found in almost every cell. Although CoQ10 is primarily connected to heart health, the fact that it improves circulation and energy production in the cells makes it a valuable brain health supplement as well.
