Sub-optimal cognition can impair focus, decision-making, and reaction times, which are crucial for physical and cognitive tasks. Optimal cognition enhances performance by improving mental clarity and reaction times, enabling better execution and overall effectiveness in both physical and mental activities.

Optimization

Supplement with Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acid consumption has been shown to improve cognitive function. (source) Omega-3 fatty acids enhance neurotransmitter function, maintain brain structure, reduce inflammation, and improve vascular health. (source) These actions work to support cognitive health and function. Recommendation: Supplement with at least 2 g of fish oil or 1 g of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) daily.

Supplement with Algae: Supplementation with algae has been shown to positively affect omega-3 fatty acid levels, which positively affect cognitive function. (source, source) Algae enhance omega-3 fatty acid levels in the body through their natural production of EPA and DHA, resulting in enhanced support for cognitive health. (source) Recommendation: Consume at least 1 g of algae oil daily.
