Right you are, caffeine really is only effective when it is accompanied by the alkaloids normally present. Pure anhydrous caffeine would not be the goal. Thanks! Hey Alex.

Consider, have the following genetic testing done: MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrafolate reductase). This particular genetic variant is closely associated with depression and cognitive dysfunction. If you happen to be homozygous for the gene variant C667T, you may respond to l-methylfolate 15 mg one per day. Hi, French Toast.

Long term caffeine consumption has proven to increase cortisol level and shrinks the hypotalamus... And curcumin is only benifical if a formulation is used that really reaches the brain in sufficient amounts, such as longvida curcumin. Most other forms of curcumin have either no effect on humans at all or only on the body,not the brain. Normal curcumin only shows off in animal studies because the animals do not break down curcumin fast so it can have any effects. Caffeine should not be on this list.

I have just ordered funny enough many of the items or your list through independant research. I would like to add the following....lithium orotate, blueberrys (psterostilbene) trans-resveratrol. (grapes, wine) virgin cocnut oil. hi, i am trying to recover from severe depression and long term chronic stress, i have got rid of the depression through cutting out food intollerences and exitotoxins, but still have some left over ‘cognitive dysfunction’.

When brain mitochondria are too broken to use glucose for fuel, as in Alzheimer's, ketones are an excellent substitute. You can switch your body to ketone-power with a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet, or with supplements like MCT (medium-chain-triglyceride) oil or the prescription medical food Axona (which contains caprylic acid).
