The main nutritional elements needed for human brain development are DHA, choline, phosphatidylserine and other substances.
The following five important nutrients that are beneficial to brain development and memory improvement deserve special attention:
DHA is an important part of the brain and retina, which can maintain the growth of cells in the nervous system, and is known as "brain gold".
DHA is a nutrient necessary for brain growth and development. It can repair or stretch brain nerves and improve brain memory.

Acetyl L-carnitine (ALCAR), an acetylated form of amino acid carnitine, has neuroprotective and cognitive enhancing effects and is known as a natural "brain booster".
Acetyl L-carnitine is a super charged form of carnitine, which has a special effect on the brain.
David Perlmutter, a neurologist and author of the better brain book, MD, calls acetyl L-carnitine a "neuronal generator".
He pointed out that acetyl L-carnitine can also help mitochondrial power plants clean up waste and excrete them from the body.
Acetyl L-carnitine can help the brain make acetylcholine.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter required for memory and thinking. Many studies have shown that acetyl L-carnitine supplementation in elderly patients with dementia can significantly improve attention.
In a 1991 study published in neurology, researchers divided 130 Alzheimer's patients into two groups. One group received acetyl L-carnitine and the other received placebo.
The results showed that the acetyl L-carnitine group scored higher on 13 of the 14 evaluation items.

Many people do not know about phosphatidylserine. It is a substance extracted from the natural soybean oil residue, also known as compound neuritic acid.
Phosphatidylserine, a member of the phospholipid family, is the only phospholipid that can regulate the functional state of key proteins in the cell membrane.
Acetylcholine is an important compound for information transmission in the nervous system. When acetylcholine is insufficient, it will lead to memory decline or inattention.
Phosphatidylserine can be converted into endogenous choline to supplement acetylcholine content and improve memory.
In addition, phosphatidylserine can also activate brain cells and improve brain function.
For teenagers with high brain intensity who need to improve their memory during learning, taking phosphatidylserine products is a very good choice.
Compared with many substances beneficial to memory, phosphatidylserine is safer and more effective, and it naturally exists in food.
Meat and fish are rich in phosphatidylserine, especially in brain and viscera.
As early as 2006, phosphatidylserine was recognized by South Korea and the US Food and drug administration, and entered the list of food and drug HBM in Japan in 2010.
Taurine, also known as β- Aminoethanesulfonic acid, which can promote brain and intellectual development, was isolated from animal tissues as a component of bovine bile in 1827, hence its name.
Taurine is abundant and widely distributed in the brain, which can help the growth and differentiation of the nervous system, and plays an important role in the development of brain nerve cells.
Taurine supplementation can improve memory and is an indispensable nutrient for human health.
Taurine widely exists in the intracellular fluid of various animal tissues in free form, and plants rarely contain taurine.
The content in the main organs of mammals is relatively high;
The most abundant are marine fish, shellfish, marine plant seaweed, cuttlefish, octopus, shrimp, oysters, conchs, clams, etc,
The taurine content of blue and white fish, bamboo pod fish, sardines and other fish is also very rich.
5. Alpha GPC (glycerophosphocholine)
GPC is a naturally occurring water-soluble phospholipid metabolic intermediate in human body, and is also an important neurotransmitter: the biosynthetic precursor of acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine.
Research shows that alpha GPC is one of the best brain supplements on the market, which is used to improve memory, learning and thinking ability.
It does this by increasing acetylcholine in the brain, a substance that plays an important role in memory and learning functions.
A study published in the Journal of the international sports nutrition society showed that when young people used alpha GPC supplements, the continuous subtraction test scores of those who received 400 mg of a-gpc were 18% faster than those who received 200 mg of caffeine.
