For brain health and cognitive benefits, several supplements have been studied for their potential effects:

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These are known to support overall brain health due to their anti-inflammatory properties and are crucial for maintaining neuronal function¹.

2. Ashwagandha: Some evidence suggests that ashwagandha may enhance memory and cognitive ability².

3. Curcumin: Found in turmeric, it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may improve cognitive function².

4. Choline: Important for brain health as it helps in maintaining the structure of cell membranes, and some studies suggest it can benefit memory².

5. Lion's Mane Mushroom: This is being researched for its potential to stimulate nerve growth and improve cognitive function².

6. Tyrosine and Caffeine: These have been noted to enhance cognitive performance, particularly in situations involving sleep deprivation³.

While there is some promising evidence for these supplements, more rigorous studies are needed to establish their efficacy fully²³.
