How can pregnenolone support a healthy brain?
Pregnenolone is a neurohormone that acts as a precursor to other hormones and promotes nerve cell growth. Pregnenolone has numerous roles, from supporting memory via excitatory pathways to helping maintain a healthy mood. Pregnenolone may play a role in maintaining memory health by protecting the nerve networks involved in their storage.
How can I support my short term memory?
You can challenge your short-term memory with “brain training” techniques: memory games that may help your brain process and recall certain types of information in the short term. However, it’s not entirely clear how far this support extends beyond the specific tasks you practice.
Which supplements and vitamins support brain health?
While any supplement that benefits whole-body health will have supportive effects on brain health, studies have demonstrated benefits for a variety of specific nutrients in the brain and cognition. Choline (including CDP choline), Huperzine A, phosphatidylserine, magnesium L-threonate, lithium orotate, acetyl-L-carnitine, ashwagandha, blueberry extract, Ginkgo biloba, vinpocetine and the hormone pregnenolone are among the brain supplements available that are supportive of the brain and healthy cognition.
