Neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters are the messengers of the brain. Carrying information between neurons, neurotransmitters facilitate every process in the human body, from breathing, to heart beats, to mood and focus. Any imbalance can cause widespread health and mental complications. How can the imbalances be avoided? Through diet. The body needs a healthy balance of proteins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, and vitamins. Eating a well-balanced diet will ensure the body and brain get enough essential nutrients and can produce adequate levels of neurotransmitters.

Supplements for concentration

If a diet is lacking in one nutrient or another, supplements can be taken to fill in the nutritional deficit. Supplements can also be taken to give the brain and body an extra boost. With age comes more responsibility and the ability to focus gets harder. When a diet is lacking an essential nutrient, concentration can suffer. Supplements can be taken to improve focus. Combination supplements are a great way to receive the benefits from multiple vitamins and nutrients at once.

Gingko biloba

Made from the leaf of the gingko tree, gingko biloba works by thinning the blood and increasing oxygen flow to the brain. The more oxygen the brain gets, the better an individual’s focus and concentration. Gingko biloba is also used to protect people from age-related brain decline.

Acetyl-L-carnitine

Acetyl-L-carnitine is produced naturally in the body. Largely impacting metabolism and energy production, supplements of acetyl-L-carnitine can leave a person feeling more alert. Acetyl-L-carnitine can also slow down memory loss due to old age.

GABA

GABA is an amino acid produced in the brain that blocks overactive nerve impulses. Overactive impulses can increase the sensation of anxiety, making concentration more difficult. GABA can also be found in many black, green, and oolong teas. Many fermented foods also contain GABA.

L-Theanine

L-theanine is found in green tea and helps transmit nerve impulses within the brain. Shown to have a calming effect, L-theanine can help an individual block out unnecessary stimulants and focus on the task at hand.

Inositol

Inositol is found in fruits, legumes, nuts, and grains. Inositol is a major component of cell membranes. Inositol helps regulate blood glucose levels. The ingredient also affects the functioning of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Serotonin and dopamine imbalances will affect mood and concentration

5-HTP

5-HTP is naturally produced in the body and increases the production and synthesis of serotonin. 5-HTP works to relieve depression, create a sense of calm, and promote a more positive outlook on life.

Mucuna pruriens

Found in legumes native to Africa and Asia, Mucuna pruriens contains levodopa, a form of dopamine. Dopamine works to improve attention and emotional responses. Dopamine is a major part of reward-motivated behavior.

Concentrate on the supplements

Many supplements used to treat anxiety and depression also help improve focus. Creating a sense of calm can help eliminate distractions and improve concentration. When diet does not cover all of the necessary nutrients, supplements can step in. Speak with a pharmacist to learn more about supplements that can help to improve focus.
