Researchers believe that iron helps to build brain neurotransmitter activity. It is believed that because the brain is the richest source of fatty acids in the human body, proper nerve functioning has a direct impact on mental function. As an antioxidant, vitamin C plays a key role in maintaining healthy nerve cells in the brain and other parts of the body, and in helping to prevent memory loss. It is often taken in combination with vitamin E, mixed carotenoids, gingko biloba, and coenzyme Q10 for this purpose. According to recent reports, low blood levels of vitamin E are linked to poor performance on memory tests.
Vitamin E can reduce oxidative damage to tissues caused by free radicals.
Some studies have shown that low levels of zinc are associated with onset of dementia, and memory disturbance. Zinc helps your body to absorb vitamin B6. All rights reserved.
