Brain Support Protocol
Many of us wonder sometimes what’s going on with our brains, like when we can’t recall a name that should be totally familiar to us or forget why we went into the kitchen! These worries take on a little more weight as we grow older, because we do know that there’s a natural decline in short-term memory and learning ability with age – a slow, progressive decline. It has even earned a medical acronym: ARMI, for age-related memory impairment.
The good news is that several nutrients and nutraceuticals have been shown to slow cognitive decline and enhance memory and mental performance. I have aggregated some of the best into my Brain Support Protocol.

Core Supplements
Neurothera (take one, twice daily) is a great combination product incorporating amino acids, as well as all the most scientifically-vetted nutraceuticals for brain support.
The curcumin in Cogumin SCLP (take one, twice daily) crosses the blood-brain barrier.
The B vitamins in Methyl-Action (take one, twice daily) lower homocysteine and boost brain metabolism.
Phosphatidylserine (take one, twice daily) is a mainstay of memory formulas.
DHA from fish oil is key to infant brain development in utero and continues to protect the brain as we age. Big Bold Health’s Omega-3 Rejuvenate is minimally-processed and sustainably-sourced from Alaska, with naturally-occuring pro-resolving mediators (PRMs) and vitamins A and D to support brain wellness and promote mental clarity.* (Take two, once daily).
Lithium is an alkali metal found in nearly all vertebrate tissue. Vital Nutrients’ lithium orotate supports healthy neurotransmitter activity*, enhances Vitamin B12 and folate transport in the brain*, and may support mental and behavioral health.* (Take one, once daily with food).

Booster Supplements
Ubiquinol (take one, twice daily), acetyl-l-carnitine (take one, twice daily), and nicotinamide riboside (take one, twice daily) are a trio of nutrients that support energy metabolism in the mitochondria of brain cells. My favorite source of nicotinamide riboside is Niacel 400 by Thorne.
