Brain food for strong nerve cells
The magic pill to increase memory or intelligence has not yet been invented, although the pharmaceutical-chemical industry
has the first "memory pills" in clinical trials. The food we eat every day influences our mood, our activity and, of course,
to a very special degree, our mental performance. Much current research confirms this.
While the nineties were proclaimed as the decade of the brain, the new megatrend “brain food” spilled over from the USA to
Europe in recent years. But is it really true, can you eat "smartly" through certain foods or drugs?
Of course, it's not that simple. It has long been known that poor nutrition or even malnutrition affects the brain first.
Our brain wants to be fed properly; Because only through appropriate nerve nutrition do we supply the brain with the
lubricants it needs to run properly.

Alpha lipoic acid is one of the most powerful antioxidants. In contrast to other antioxidants, lipoic acid is both fat and water soluble. Lipoic acid is also one of the few antioxidants that cross the blood-brain barrier and can be quickly absorbed by brain tissue. In the brain, lipoic acid is responsible for rendering the nitrogen radicals and nitrogen oxides, which are dangerous for the brain cells, harmless.

Acetyl-L-carnitine is the ester of the amino acid L-carnitine and can be produced by the body itself. ACL increases the concentration of the messenger substance acetylcholine in the brain. Because of its chemical similarity to acetylcholine, ALC acts on the parasympathetic nervous system, which prepares the metabolism for relaxation, regeneration and building up the body's own reserves. Medical studies have shown that ALC has a positive effect on long-term memory in Alzheimer's disease.
