They relay signals between neurons and help to control your mood, energy, memory, concentration, sleep, weight and bodily functions. There are a lot of threats in the everyday world that can deplete a person\u2019s stores of neurotransmitters. Stress, poor diet, neurotoxins, genetic predisposition, drugs, alcohol and caffeine use can all contribute to deleting stores of neurotransmitter. To help yourself function at an optimal level, there are some key supplements, that with addition to diet and stress management can help improve you\u2019re your brain health.Acetyl CholineThe Neurotransmitter acetylcholine plays a large role in encoding a person\u2019s new memories (1). It helps a person to turn new short term memories into old ones, storing them in an easily accessible way. People who may be deficient in Acetyl Choline struggle to stay present in the moment or have a reduced reaction time or are constantly misplacing objects like keys, glasses ect.Huperzine AHuperzine-A also known as club moss is a cognitive enhancer used to stop the breaking down of some neurotransmitters, including acetyl choline.\u00a0 There has been a lot of research on the cognitive improvement in Alzheimer\u2019s patients as well as with students. In one 1999 study, 34 adolescent students improved their learning performance (2).Alpha-GPCAlpha GPC also known as L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine, is a form of choline that has been proven to improve brain function. It\u2019s been said to boost attention, mental focus, memory, and cognitive ability. It builds brain cell membranes and contributes to the formation of acetylcholine neurotransmitters. In one study where young adults were taking a drug called scopolamine, that had depleted the acetyl choline stores, Alpha-GPC supplementation improved it after just 10 days of supplementation (3).SourcesHasselmo, Michael E. “The Role Of Acetylcholine In Learning And Memory”.
