Supplements For Brain Health

Question: Brain supplements what to use? I want to know what to buy that can help improve my brain function health and my memory i.e. make me smarter what vitamins or supplements are the best for brain enhancement

Answer: Ginko is one,however keep in mind,there's not an Herbal Sup that will make you "smarter",just add "focus".Razor gave you good advice if nobody comes along to add any ideas,as Ginko is the only one I know of:-) Oh,and also make sure you are taking atleast a daily Multi Vitamin and some Omega 3(fish oil)...unless your daily diet is "perfect",which most people's are not ofcourse.

Question: can taking multiple vitamin supplements be harmful? okay, I take a lot of vitamins for brain health. I'm not sure if it's harmful to take too many different types of supplements though. I take omega 3, phosphatidyl serine, ginkgo biloba, and b complex every day. I'm assuming the outcome of consuming multiple brain supplements may only result in beneficial effects, but I'd like to be positive it's not like an overload or anything.

Answer: its defenetely possible to overload on vitamins. It can cause more harm than good. I suggest you research the combo you are taking. Truth is that food is a way better source of vitamins than suppliments although suppliments are great just don't hesitate to use as much food as possible

Question: Any good supplements for heavy brain fog and mental fatigue? I have unexplained health problems, brain fog, as well as low energy. If nothing else I want something to help alleviate brain fog and improve mental processes, as I find this is even worse than low energy. Things i've tried: - High doses of sublingual B12, and dibencozide: helps but not enough - Omega 3 supplements: causes moodiness and anxiety, which cancels out the benefits - B complex tablets: slight help at best I cannot take SAM-e because I'm on an antidepressant. The antidepressant causes some tiredness, but the mental impairment and fatigue only came about recently so it is unrelated. Anyone else with these problems found something that helps???

Answer: Swisse Mens or Womens Formula. I kid you not, this will give you a boost and clearer mind, and maybe a skip in your step! I tried many things Centrum, all sorts of multivitamins etc, but this runs rings around anything I've tried before!

Question: What does ginkgo biloba do? I thought it was for circulation, but found it in the brain health section of the supplements aisle

Answer: Gingko is a well known Vasodilator - it functions to open up arteries and veins in peripheral areas of the body. So it would therefore increase blood flow to areas like the brain, the legs and sex organs. Consequently, it is thought to be useful against dementia(Alzheimers/Parkinsons), varicose veins, impotence etc. Hope it helps :)

Question: Preventing Alzheimer's and/or Dementia? My mom's mother had dementia, and my mom's father had Alzheimer's. I'm worried that as my mom ages she will face these same problems. I also fear that because she has it in her head that she will end up like them, she a) doesn't care to take any preventative measures, and b) just her frame of mind could bring on the symptoms sooner and more rapidly. (You know how people who aren't sick can make themselves sick because they believe it?) She's only 55, but I feel like she's having problems with her short-term memory already. She tells me the same things over and over, she doesn't remember things my family members tell her... I mean, I know she's really busy but these small things worry me. Is there anything she can do to act in a proactive manner? Any supplements that are good for brain health? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you

Answer: There is a lengthy article on Alzheimer's Disease on WebMD.com that's pretty good. It will help you understand the disease a little more, and things that you can try-

Question: Is there a good herbal supplement combo that will help with depression/focus/memory? I suffer from depression, lack of concentration/focus/memory. I basically want a better brain/mind/emotional health (also tired a LOT). When I get down, I get really down, like very hopeless. I hate that feeling. Also I am about to start some college courses and noticed I just can't concentrate or retain any of the information. I have to make this work. Is there one good combo or do I need to get a whole bunch seperately? I've tried St johns wort, I've noticed I get a little calmer and sleepy but nothing major. Any recommendations? I am looking for Natural remedies please, I've been on RX and the side effects were horrible. Thanks

Question: is eating too much protein supplement bad for your health? I hear that it is good for the brain and muscles

Answer: It can be. But you would have to consume A LOT of protein for this to happen. The major affect could be on your kidneys. But as long as you follow proper dosing, and drink plenty of water, you should be fine. Check with your doctor before using a protein supplement if you have any pre-existing kidney issues.

Question: vitamines and supplements that im taking might b bad? i just started to take six different vitamines, bcuz i wanted to see what they would do, Zinc-for immune system Iron-for health Magnesium- for muscle health and flexibility DHA-for advanced brain function B12-energy or at night Melatonin- for sleep. i take all of these at the same time is this bad and willit harm my bodie?

Answer: You would be better off taking a good Multi Vitamin/Multi Mineral tablet daily. That would provide you with the nutrients you may not be getting in your daily diet. If you take them separately, you might get them out of proportion & take too much of one & not enough of another. Too much iron for men can be toxic - if you're not careful.

Question: thinking of taking memo plus gold but my parents wont allow me? I bought a pack of memo plus gold and showed my parents if i can take them but they didnt allow me because they said that it can be dangerous to my health, affect my brain etc. For those who normally use this supplement, is this really true? At least I think its safe.

Answer: If is has has any active ingredients they should be listed on the packaging, if there aren't any you have probably totally wasted your money on rubbish. If there are look up it's contents on the 'net and see what properties thary have so that you can advise your parents.
