It’s the back to school season already. Will your work schedule be even more busy this fall?  There is nothing like being well prepared to face these challenges by taking the essential and efficient nutrients to optimize your intellectual performance.

In fact, some nutrients and plants are involved in supporting cerebral functions. It is the case of Ginkgo and bacopa. Ginkgo biloba is well-recognised for its stimulant action on blood circulation, more precisely on the extremities like feet and hands, but also in the brain. Ginkgo is also efficient to protect the brain due to its antioxidant action.

As for Bacopa, this plant originally from India is widely used to improve intellectual faculties. According to Ayurvedic medicine (India’s traditional medicine), Bacopa would help also to reduce anxiety as well as depressive conditions. A.G. Natural Health combined these 2 plants in one product to maximise their action and to offer a highly efficient product to improve cognitive functions. Furthermore, the product Ginkgo Bacopin is standardised in active ingredients to assure the full potential of the plants.

Other nutrients are to be considered when talking about brain’s health. Omega-3’s and lecithin are part of them. Omega-3’s are good fats that we find, among other things, in certain cold water fish like salmons, tuna fish, sardines and mackerels. Above providing essential fatty acids, omega-3’s are involved in the good functioning of the brain as well as preventing many diseases like cardiovascular diseases and depression. A.G. Natural Health offers many omega-3 products like Omega-3 Extra Strength with its entericoated softgel to prevent fishy aftertaste. This product offers a high amount of EPA and DHA (active ingredients of omega-3’s) to support cerebral functions and mood disorders.

As for Lecithin, it provides phospholipids (major component of the membrane around the cells) and fatty acids. Its function as maintaining the nervous system is essential. As well as supporting intellectual functions, lecithin is very effective to help fat digestion and lower cholesterol. The product Ultra Lecithin from A.G. Natural Health represents a high source of this essential good fat for your brain’s health.

In kid’s, barin development requires omega-3’s. A.G. Natural Health offers products specifically formulated to support the good development of their intellectual functions. Our Omega Junior and Omega Junior chewable formulas provide high amounts of essential fatty acids. Furthermore, these products are offered with a delicious citrus flavour to please your kids.

So, no more reasons to forget about what’s more important (your health!). Whether it is for adults, kids or for the elderly, A.G. Natural Health helps you take better care of your mental health by offering you affordable and effective health solutions.

Have a good end of summer !
