brownsugarflyygirl,

the best supplements for Brain function are (and not necessarily in this chronological order of importance) can be described as follows:

"#1. Amino acids: neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which is involved in mood, or adrenalin which gives you motivation, or acetylcholine which is vital for good memory, are made from these amino acids from the protein that you eat, so an amino acid supplement would be a good idea in the short term.

#2. A good Multivitamin/mineral, where #1. and their production in the Brain depends on these vitamins/minerals.
These micronutrients help turn glucose into energy, amino acids into neurotransmitters, simple essential fats into more complex fats like GLA or DHA and Prostaglandins, and choline and serine into phospholipids.
They help build and rebuild the Brain and nervous system and keep everything running smoothly. They have been described as your Brains best friends.

#3. High dose B Complex of approx' 50mg ratio per day will also improve Brain and cognitive function and increase energy production from food.

#4. A good Brain-food formula taken each day should include choline, PS (Phosphatidylserine), DMAE, pyroglutamate (from fruits and vegetables) and pantothenic acid, as well as Omega 3 fats as in Krill-Oil or Flaxseed Oil.

#5. Avoid Sugar and refined carbs' including caffeine and alcohol from beverages, as these interfere with the neuro pathways and are in themselves draining of nerve energy or the life-force.

The essential thing to bear in mind here is that these supplements will have a "synergistic" effect where, taken together, they act in unison as a team, and therefore far more effective than taken individually.

BTW. A nutritional product that targets Brain and Nervous system health is "Neurozan" which I take every single day.
The mental benefits are simply amazing.

Try Piracetam.

Hi there

I can think of a few things that might be helpful.
Iodine had a profound effect on me, inducing a mental acuity that was exciting and great fun. Just get the Lugols and have a couple of drops a day (don't megadose as detox effects are inevitable and won't help you in your LSAT).
A diet which includes a preponderance of raw foods and juices is very effective at 'enlivening' one's system/s, including the mental faculties, by virtue of its purity, whereby there is little waste and much nutrition ....
Circulatory stimulants such as Chilli and Ginko Biloba are an aid to mental funcion.
I've heard of Brahmi - it's purported to aid in recall.
In contrast to a previous reply, I'd just like to say that a strong coffee is a temporary I.Q. enhancer, though chronic use/overuse would be counter-productive. So you can have a cup before your exam to turbo-charge your brain, providing you have no issues with caffeine.
Eat foods that are NOT high-glycaemic, as severe blood Sugar fluctuations won't help with concentration.
If you're game, have an enema leading up to the event. You might be surprised at how much more composed you can be.

I hope some of my ideas are ok

I have been adding a product called MindCare from Himalyan Herbals. Gave it to my nephew who has adhd and he scored honors on his report card.

Iherb has good prices.

There are a lot of supplements out there, but one to take a look at is Engage Nutrition Accelerate. It has a solid b complex as well as an "accel complex" or so they call it. The "accel" complex is composed of green tea extract, ginseng, tyrosine, choline, coq10, rhodiola, ginko, and alpha lipoic acid.

If you're looking for one supplement that has almost everything you need and that is still healthy to consume I would check it out.

For something like the LSAT, you should go all out. Besides detox, which you already mentioned, here are four strategies to achieve extremely high brain function:

1. Enzymes from fresh vegetable juice, particularly Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Beets, Carrot Tops, Beet Tops, Spinach, Parsley. This will help with detox, and it will provide energy unlike the other methods. Do not overdo the beets in the beginning, because they could detox you too fast. If you cannot make you own juice, look for a health-food store with a juice bar. For long-term usage, look at the VitaMix super-blender.

2. Short-term DHEA hormone supplementation. Take 25 to 50 mg per day for two weeks. Longer than this MIGHT cause temporary hair thinning in men because of the boost to hormones downstream of Testosterone. High doses over a longer time MIGHT cause facial hair in women. (Symptoms go away when you stop taking DHEA.) A 10 mg dose might be sufficient.

3. Brain supplement blend. Choose a reliable brand like Jarrow. Avoid products with fillers or "proprietary blends" that may have very little of the main ingredients. Here is an exellent article on choosing the best brain supplements.

4. Melatonin.If sleep is an issue, take a melatonin hormone supplement at night. The methods described above will cause extreme energy and enthusiasm, which MIGHT impact sleep. Good sleep supports brain modeling and hormone metabolism.

There's a new product called MentalBright that I take when I need to focus in on a big exam or test. You should definitely check it out it works miracles for me at least haha..mentalbright.com i think

If you want to make a boost to your memory and concentrate with full energy, I will suggest to have the Brain Tune Supplements. Brain Tune has good reviews in the market as they have variety of products. I have used Brain Tune Organic Honey several times. It helped me a lot to maximize my focus and feels me energize.
