Key elements to unlock the power of your brain

How healthy is your brain? The neurobiology of the brain is a fascinating field and brings unbelievable insights about the complex neuronal microarchitecture of our mind. Brain is where the performances begin and end. It monitors and controls all the energy metabolism of the body and it never stops working. Dietary components are a viable strategy for enhancing cognitive function and protecting the brain from aging damage. There is no magic ingredient to good brain health but rather a strategic combination of several ingredients to empower brain protection, enhancement and balance.

Blue and purple plant foods are rich in antioxidants, in particular those that act to protect the brain and nervous system from oxidative damage and inflammation. Blue-purple anthocyanins found in plants such as plums, blueberries, figs, eggplant, dark grapes, purple onion, can cross the blood-brain barrier and exert their benefits on brain tissues.

On the other side, leafy greens, seeds and nuts are an excellent source of B-vitamins, magnesium, iron and selenium. B-vitamins (especially B6, B12, and folate), which play an important role in the nervous system activity are the key vitamins for the synthesis and regulation of neurotransmitters (ex. dopamine, serotonine) in the brain.

Magnesium has an essential role in supporting brain plasticity, which is the sign of a flexible brain primed for optimal learning, memory, and cognitive function. Did you know that magnesium level is decreased by excess of alcohol, salt, coffee, sugar, and antibiotics?

And here comes the magic tool – the nootropics. Nootropics have the potential to enhance the cognitive function such as memory, alertness, creativity, motivation, or focus. The strategic use of nootropics namely Ashwaghanda, L-theanine, Siberian ginseng, might leverage your cognitive performance and also improve your ability to cope with detrimental effects of stress.

Discover how our ENERGY Focus & Performance supplement supports mental and cognitive functions and gives you the energy boost you need.
