Neuro-nutrition boosts memory power

Thiamin is a potent memory booster and over all brain friendly supplement. The shocking facts are that about 40% of older people lack sufficient thiamine and thus affect their capacity for remembering things and can become apathetic. 22% of young men and women don't have enough thiamine either which brings about lowered mood, few feelings of wellbeing and fatigue. And lastly a scary 3% of people autopsied in Australia had brain damage caused by thiamine deficiency.

Its biggest obvious impact is on how we feel about ourselves and life in general. It can lead to lack of confidence and a general lowness of spirits that is hard to live with. However that isn't all that is going on when thiamine levels are low. Hyperactivity, learning problems, temper outbursts, violent mood swings, anxiety and sleep problems are all associated with low thiamin. The difficulty with this bio-supplement is that we don't manufacture it but depend on it coming in from the outside - specifically through our food intake.

Once people begin taking the optimum doses of thiamin they find their mood alters to one of composure and their confusion and lack of memory power gets sorted out along with a gain in energy and connectedness with life. This is a very important supplement and one which we know many children and young people are missing out on because their diets are so heavily oriented to 'junk/fast foods' which contain no thiamine whatsoever.
One of the ways that thiamin helps us is by helping the brain use glucose to speed itself up thus improving our learning many times over. On the other hand lack of thiamin causes neurons to get over excited because the balance in the blood chemistry around each one is wrong. This means that they keep on firing needlessly and end up burning themselves out.

How much is safe to take?

25mg/day to 50 milligrams/day is the recommended safe range and makes a significant difference to your mental health as well as your memory power.
