Brain food

Brain food can be thought of as nutrition for the brain. Just as athletes eat certain foods for their muscles, there's also food for the brain: brain food. When you get enough good nutrients, your brain can function healthily. If you don't eat certain brain foods, you can experience all sorts of symptoms: poor concentration, decreased memory, and other issues.

Eating enough brain food can also help reduce stress and promote a better mood. Because all of this, too, takes place in the brain.

Types of Brain Foods

There are different types of brain foods, each with its own unique properties. For example, vitamins, minerals, and fats are considered brain food. The combination of these nutrients ensures a good balance and optimal functioning. We'll start with the most well-known brain food: omega-3.

1. Omega-3 fatty acids

Fats are extremely important for brain development. The brain is made up of approximately 60% fat. However, a huge number of people are deficient in one specific group of fats: omega-3 fatty acids.

There are three types of omega-3 fatty acids: ALA, EPA, and DHA. Omega-3 is primarily found in fish and shellfish (DHA and EPA), but also in walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseed (ALA).

2. Magnesium

Magnesium is involved in a vast number of bodily processes, including many different brain functions. These include learning performance, memory, mood, and concentration. Magnesium is therefore crucial for healthy brain function.

3. Vitamin B complex

B vitamins are very important for the brain. They play a role in brain functions such as concentration, learning, and memory. These vitamins are essential for proper and efficient signal transmission in the brain.

All B vitamins together form the vitamin B complex and they cannot be missing from the list of brain foods.

Brain Food and Nootropics

Brain food supplements go hand in hand with nootropics. Brain foods are often considered natural nootropics. However, we distinguish between them because they have slightly different effects. Brain foods are necessary for healthy, natural brain performance. Nootropics, on the other hand, can elevate the brain to the next level.

Brain food supplements

You can get the nutrients mentioned above through your normal diet, but also with brain food supplements. Supplements are a good way to get enough nutrients, especially if you're following a specific diet or aren't getting enough nutrients from food.

Natuurlijk Presteren offers a variety of brain foods. These supplements are high-quality and easily absorbed by the body.

1. Ultra Omega-3 and Frambomega

These omega-3 products have a natural ratio of EPA and DHA. The fish oil contains vitamin E to prevent oxidation and is highly pure, which helps prevent burping, among other things. The omega-3 products are made from smaller, fresh fish species. This reduces the risk of contamination.

Do you prefer a fish oil without the fishy flavor? Then Frambomega is the best choice. Its raspberry flavor also makes it easy to incorporate into food.

2. Magnesium & Taurine

This supplement contains two types of magnesium that are well-absorbed. It's an effective, potent dose, but doesn't disrupt digestion. It's completely natural and high-quality.

3. Vitamin B complex.

Our vitamin B complex contains all the B vitamins in their most effective form. We also added vitamin C for extra potency. Furthermore, we added folate to support cell and tissue production.
