Brain & Focus

1 product

Focus changes through the day and depends on sleep, hydration, how many breaks you take, and how many things are asking for your attention at once. Screen work makes this harder than it looks. Several nutrients have recognised roles here. Omega-3 fatty acids, DHA in particular, contribute to normal brain function when taken regularly. The B vitamins contribute to normal psychological function. Choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and normal liver function. Creatine has been studied extensively in athletes and is now being studied for cognitive performance too. Caffeine works quickly and everyone knows it; it is worth remembering that the hour of your last coffee reaches into that night's sleep, and poor sleep starts the problem over. The products here are associated with this goal. Where to start: measure one thing for a fortnight — how long you work without touching your phone, for instance — before changing anything else. The BioHack generator gives you a short list of measures alongside the protocol, so you have a baseline to compare against.
