About Cognitive Support

The human brain performs a variety of vital cognitive functions throughout the day, often at lightening-fast speed, that individuals usually take for granted. These range from perception and attention to the surrounding stimuli in the environment to memory, thinking, the ability to express thoughts and emotions, and the ability to learn and process new information.

But poor dietary habits and a deficiency in certain vitamins, minerals and nutrients can result in forgetfulness, confusion and overall poor cognitive functioning. To keep the brain operating its multitude of tasks without delay or deterioration, providing this organ with cognitive support is essential for maintaining a variety of clear thought processes.

In addition to proper sleep and a well-balanced daily diet, healthy cognitive functioning requires a broad spectrum of nutrients for optimal mental performance, either from food or dietary supplements. These include Acetyl-L-Carnitine which facilitates the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, without which the process of cognitive function cannot take place. For antioxidant protection of brain cells against the deterioration and oxidative stress caused by scavenging free radicals, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, alpha lipoic acid, glutathione and Coenzyme Q10 should be included as part of the daily diet.

Herbs that improve circulation of the blood flow to the brain also provide much-needed cognitive support and may help slow the progress of degenerative conditions that impact memory and thinking. These include hawthorn, motherwort, stress-relieving cacao, cayenne and garlic.

Other nutrients that scientific research has proven effective at providing cognitive support for optimal brain health include magnesium, zinc, chromium, lutein, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, folate, Omega-3 fish oils, biotin and pantothenic acid.
