Dietary supplements for mental performance and protection in athletes and soldiers – slideshow

Much of sports nutrition focuses on muscles, joints and entire cardiovascular system. However, the brain is the control center, and athletic and active consumers are paying increased attention to cognitive health and function, including focus, attention, memory, reaction time, visual processing, emotions and protection/recovery from brain injury.

This slideshow looks at the potential effects of dietary supplements on the central nervous system (CNS) for improved health and performance. It was developed from the SupplySide West 2018 workshop, “Neurosports: Inside the Brain for Improved Performance.”
