Alpha-Lipoic Acid: A slew of studies suggests alpha-lipoic acid safeguards mitochondria, delaying cognitive decline, while augmenting memory and learning.
DHA: The brain is made up of 60 percent fat, and DHA is the most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in the brain’s cell membranes. Studies show it helps reduce inflammation, increase blood flow to the brain, and regenerate new brain cells.
