Question 1

is nitrovit a healthy brain supplement?

Accepted Answer

Notrovit: There is no evidence that any of its ingredients improves cognition long term.  I would be concerned about the high levels of caffeine and other stimulants in it.  We don't even know what some of the ingredients do.

Question 2

could you tell me a good brain supplement?

Accepted Answer

Chocolate: Chocolate is a healthy desert.  Darker the better.  It increases blood flow and has been shown to be associated with lower risk of stroke.  Hot cocoa works too.

Question 3

could you recommend a brain supplement for me?

Accepted Answer

Vit D and B12: these two are the most important. Start by obtaining blood levels. You want your vitamin D level to be at least 30 and your B12 to be at least 550. I recommend sublingual Methoxy B12 ( one eye dropper full über the tongue ( hold for at least 30 seconds ) every 2 weeks. Vit D3 pills daily 1000-7000 depending on blood levels . Also consider antioxidant therapy.

Question 4

what is a supplement to help with brain function?

Accepted Answer

Natural brain care: Some suggestions for brain health: sleep hygiene = 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night.  Aerobic exercise at least 3 days/week, 30 minutes per session.  Take a multivitamin daily, specifically to boost Folic Acid and vitamin b12.  Smoking cessation.  Adequate hydration, at least 64 ounces of water each day.  Moderate caffeine intake, 2-5 cups of coffee per day.  Stress reduction.

Question 5

what extra supplements does my body and brain need?

Accepted Answer

None: If you eat a regular diet, then no supplement is necessary. If you eat a complex diet (vegan, etc.), then you might benefit from some supplements to prevent deficiency. These are taken by choice, so be sure you want to spend the $.

Question 6

is taking supplements for brain function like aminobrain safe?

Accepted Answer

Near as I can tell: It's just a multivitamin and mineral supplement.  But for good brain health, eating your fruit and veggies, exercise regularly, don't smoke or use drugs or alcohol, get 7-9 hours of sleep every night, and eat more fish than red meat will do the most for maintaining healthy brain function. I know it's not as cool as popping a pill but these things are what matter.

Question 7

are brain supplement pills any good for you? does it even help ?

Accepted Answer

VERY SKEPTICAL: Many preparations are sold in local vitamin stores, and online from health sites.  Do not really find any rationale for any of the brain supplements, and most of these products are not only bogus, but may not even contain the purported ingredients when measured (see consumers union re gingko).  Would advise saving your money!

Question 8

please tell me, could anyone recommend a brain supplement for me?

Accepted Answer

Caveat: Beware of marketing and claims, as there is truly no effective "brain supplement".  Instead focus on good sleep hygiene, healthy dietary intake, treatment of infections when present, regular aerobic exercise, times of relaxation and distressing, spending some time outside on sunny days, and socializing regularly.

Question 9

can taking supplements help the brain, or actually do the reverse?

Accepted Answer

Arguably yes: The odds are high that some supplements do enhance brain function. Stands to reason--it's an organ and we know that for example omega oils help many other organs. But disentangling adequate research from hype is an herculean task. Most doctors probably have their favorites, but both curiosity and caution is needed.

Question 10

is the supplement nitrovit a healthy brain supplement for long term use?

Accepted Answer

Save your money: Why do you think paying good money for a mixture of different supplements is going to help your brain?  How do you even know that what is listed on the label is even inside the bottle?  In my review, I am convinced this is but another gimmick being promoted online, and you are better off with Cerefolin-NAC if you do have cognitive issues.
