Supplement and nutraceutical therapy in traumatic brain injury
From Leo LLM (AI): Supplements for TBI Recovery:
Supplements and nutraceuticals show promise in mitigating the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and promoting recovery. Creatine monohydrate helps maintain ATP levels in response to high energy demands post-TBI, supports cognitive health, and may reduce neural damage following brain injury.234 Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), improve cognition and neuronal function after TBI.56 BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) function as a nitrogen donor in glutamate and GABA production, improving markers of cognition and decreasing concussive symptoms.7 Magnesium modulates excitotoxicity and promotes functional and cognitive recovery.89 Boswellia serrata reduces neuroinflammation and improves global cognition . Enzogenol supports cognitive function and reduces mental fatigue and sleep disturbances . Additionally, probiotics, acetyl l-carnitine, and thiamine supplementation have been suggested for TBI recovery, though more research is needed for some of these .
- Creatine monohydrate: Helps maintain ATP levels, supports cognitive health, and may reduce neural damage following brain injury.
- Omega-3 fatty acids: Improve cognition and neuronal function after TBI.
- BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids): Improve cognition and decrease concussive symptoms.
- Magnesium: Modulates excitotoxicity and promotes cognitive recovery.
- Boswellia serrata: Reduces neuroinflammation and improves global cognition.
- Enzogenol: Supports cognitive function and reduces mental fatigue and sleep disturbances.
- Probiotics: Help boost the central nervous system.
- Acetyl l-carnitine: Acts as a powerful antioxidant and plays a role in acetylcholine production.
- Thiamine: Effective in improving the outcome of TBI, except in cases of mild TBI.
It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplementation regimen to ensure safety and appropriateness for individual health conditions.AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts. sources below
