People of all ages often ask me if there are any supplements that improve memory. Students, the elderly, busy executives, teachers…is there anyone who wouldn’t benefit from better memory and swifter recall of words, facts and figures?
Gingko biloba extracts like Lindberg’s are used and prescribed worldwide for improving memory and cognitive function. Gingko works by improving circulation and blood vessel tone in the brain and extremities.
There’s much more to cognitive function and memory than brain circulation, however. I have long recommended the superfood lecithin as a great way to support memory and concentration. Lecithin supplies a host of beneficial lipids and vitamins that improve the structure and function of brain and nerve cells.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is obtained from lecithin and has been extensively studied for its ability to improve memory and concentration. I recommend PS for those who need intensive support for cognitive function. Another benefit of PS is its ability to help the body cope with different types of stress.
