Brain supplements

The brain is the part of the central nervous system in the head, made up of tens of billions of nerve cells that are each connected to a large number of others.

For DHA there is an authorised claim relating to normal brain function at 250 mg per day. In addition, iodine, iron, zinc and various B vitamins have a claim relating to cognitive and psychological function.

What your brain makes its messengers from

Nerve cells talk to each other via neurotransmitters, and these are made from substances you eat. The amino acid tyrosine is the raw material for dopamine and noradrenaline, tryptophan for serotonin, and choline for acetylcholine. The conversion steps in between require B6, folate and magnesium, among others.

That explains why in this collection you will find amino acids alongside vitamins and choline donors such as alpha GPC. They are not separate ingredients but links in the same chain.

The most complex organ

The brain, also known as the encephalon, is the part of the central nervous system located in the head. The organ is made up of many tens of billions of nerve cells, each connected to a large number of others.

The grey matter regulates vital functions such as breathing, heart rate and body temperature, and is where mental processes take place. The brain itself feels no pain, but it does register pain that arises elsewhere in the body.

Why DHA keeps coming up

The brain consists largely of fat, and DHA is one of the fatty acids found structurally in the cell membranes of nerve cells. That explains why this fatty acid appears on almost every brain-focused product and why it is the only one with its own authorised claim in this area.

When comparing, look at the amount of DHA on its own, not the total amount of omega 3 or fish oil. A 1000 mg fish oil capsule often contains only a few hundred milligrams of EPA and DHA combined.

Finding your way in this collection

This collection brings together four directions: the omega 3 products with DHA, the nootropics with herbs and amino acids, specific nutrient forms such as magnesium L-threonate, and the vitamins and minerals with an authorised claim.

Exercise, rest, mental challenge and a varied diet also count. A supplement is an addition to these, not a replacement for them.
