Your brain is one of the most important parts of your body. Without your brain, you would not be able to function and so it is incredibly important that you look after it.
Neglected brains risk a reduction in their ability to focus, a decline in cognitive function and mood swings.1
Have you ever gone into another room and forgotten what you are doing there?
As we age, our brains actually shrink in physical volume, our memory starts to decline and our brain activation becomes more bilateral for memory tasks.2
Supplements containing vitamins for brain health are an excellent way to give your brain the bit of extra care it deserves.
Here we take a look at some of the best brain health supplements and the best vitamins for memory:
Ginkgo Biloba
One of the best brain supplements is ginkgo biloba. The ginkgo biloba or maidenhair tree is native to China, Japan and Korea and now also grows in Europe and the USA.
It is one of the oldest trees in the world, with its origins dating back to more than 200 million years.
The herb that is extracted from the leaves has been used in worldwide culture for thousands of years.
Studies have shown that taking a ginkgo biloba supplement may increase mental performance and cognitive function.3
Good n Natural Ginkgo Leaf Tablets
These fast release capsules allow for faster absorption of the supplement into the body.
They are believed to help maintain cognitive function, especially as you get older.
Ginkgo supplements are one of the most popular supplements available for over 50s.
Ginkgo biloba extract is also available as a liquid extract which can be mixed with water. This is ideal for those who prefer not to swallow tablets or capsules.
Red krill
Krill is a small crustacean, which looks similar to a shrimp. They are primarily a food source for other animals – whales, seals, penguins, squid and fish all enjoy them.4
Krill oil contains the omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). These are essential for a lot of body functions, including helping to support your brain and heart.5
EPA and DHA are found in fatty fish and fish oils and not much else.
Most people do not consume the recommended amounts of fish and so may not be getting enough EPA and DHA through their diet alone. This is why it can be beneficial to take a supplement which contains fish oil.6

Cod liver oil

It has been a popular supplement in the UK for many years now.
