Micronutrient therapy
| Protect nerve cells | |
|
In neuropsychiatric deficits, a lack of Vitamin B12 and Folic acid is frequently observed. Due to their involvement in nerve development and nerve metabolism, many disorders in the neurological indication area respond well to concomitant therapeutic, high-dose substitution of B vitamins. Capsaicin (chilli), caffeine, catechins (green tea), sulforaphane/glucoraphanin (broccoli), curcumin (curcuma) and resveratrol/pterosyllables (grapes or red wine) have neuroprotective effects. Among other things, they act on the sirtuins and stimulate the formation of antioxidative and neuroprotective enzymes, |

| Promoting cerebral perfusion | |
| The use of Ginkgo is highly recommended in the symptomatic treatment of cerebro-organic performance disorders. By promoting local microcirculation, Ginkgo can significantly improve the leading symptoms of dementia diseases such as memory and concentration disorders, but also depressive moods, dizziness, ringing in the ears and headaches. |

| Improve energy supply in the mitochondria | |
| Reduced Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, short NADH, is involved as coenzyme and hydrogen carrier in many redox reactions in the cells. Besides its participation in energy production processes in the mitochondria, NADH can increase the production of the neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenalin. Coenzyme Q10 as electron donor is a central active substance in energy production processes on the mitochondrial level. With increasing age, the self-synthesis and thus the coenzyme Q10 status decreases. |

| Stimulate neurotransmitter synthesis and function | |
| Humans with brain disorders often show a reduced neurotransmitter level in the stem ganglia. Amino acids show good therapeutic results in practical application, especially L-carnitine, L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine and taurine. The sulfur-containing amino acid taurine is important for neuronal conduction and signal transduction. |
| Compensate for vitamin D deficiency | |
|
Low vitamin D levels (25 nmol/L) are associated with lower brain volume and increased risk of dementia, according to a University of Australia study of 294,514 participants. Also, according to the researchers, up to 17% of dementia cases could be prevented in some populations if everyone had a normal vitamin D level of 50 nmol/L. |
