Additionally, a new wave of research is identifying ways to improve peak performance of people between the ages of 18 and 54, as modern living in the knowledge economy tests individuals’ capacities to handle burgeoning stress and demands for higher productivity.
Human understanding of brain physiology hardly scratches the surface of the billions of neurons and trillions of pathways fundamental to cognitive processes. Evidence does suggest, however, that when combined with healthy dietary patterns, exercise, and other health-promoting activities, a range of ingredients could potentially optimize and protect one’s faculties.
Many formulators today tend to categorize the market based on targeted applications, such as mood support, enhancing focus, reducing stress, or improving sleep patterns.
