Brain and nervous system

DHA – the omega-3 fatty acid for the brainDHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function; the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA. Premium Omega-3 provides 240–480 mg of DHA in 1–2 capsules. If you'd like omega-3 together with carotenoids for the eyes, see Omega-3 with lutein and zeaxanthin.

Magnesium and B12Magnesium and vitamin B12 contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Here you'll find two special forms of magnesium: Magtein® magnesium L-threonate and Magnesium taurate. Vitamin B12 1 mg is a good choice especially for vegetarians and vegans, as vitamin B12 is found mainly in foods of animal origin.
