Brain Function

Did you know how sophisticated supplements have become for brain function? 

Clinical trials have shown that good multivitamin and mineral supplements help raise moods in elderly people, even if they had mild depression. A standard over the years for focus has been Vitamin B12. It is a great vitamin and when taken in the right doses, can help us think better and give us more energy.

A fairly new supplement over the past 20 years is Vinpocetine (vin-po-se-teen). It comes from the periwinkle plant. Vinpocetine helps increase blood flow to the brain, increases oxygenation to the brain, and improves neurotransmitter function.

Another powerful supplement for brain function is procaine. Procaine has been used for decades in Europe for peak brain function. It's also been used for chronic fatigue syndrome, sleep disorders, moderate depression, and as an antioxidant.

Other supplements like Ginkgo and fish oil, as well as strategies like exercise and proper sleep can really keep your brain functioning well at any age.
