YOUR nervous system is the
control hub for your body,
comprising the brain, spinal
cord and nerves. It works by
sending messages through a
network of nerve cells from
different body parts to the brain
and back out to the body. These
messages regulate your
thoughts, memory, movement,
emotions and senses.
Damage to the network of
nerve cells can disrupt the flow
of signals throughout the body.
Untreated nerve damage may
result in uncomfortable
symptoms such as tingling,
numbness, pain, loss of
sensation and muscle weakness,
particularly in the hands and
feet.
The accumulation of
abnormal proteins in the brain
can trigger the degeneration of
nerve cells, culminating in
conditions such as Alzheimer’s
disease, a progressive form of
dementia. Over time,
Alzheimer’s manifests as a
gradual decline in memory and
cognitive functions, and
alterations in behaviour and
personality.
Attention-deficit/
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
arises when the development of
the central nervous system is
disturbed. Typically emerging in
childhood, it manifests as
persistent patterns of
inattention, hyperactivity, and
impulsivity that disrupt daily
functioning and development.
How to protect your
nervous system?
To safeguard your nervous
system, consider integrating key
neuroprotection nutrients into
your routine.
Phosphatidylserine (PS), a
phospholipid, shields brain cells
and has been shown to help
enhance memory and cognitive
function. It may also alleviate
symptoms such as inattention,
hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR), a
form of carnitine can cross the
blood-brain barrier, is believed
to help boost brain energy,
improve focus and support
cognitive function while also
enhancing nerve function.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin),
the active form readily used by the
body, aids in repairing damaged
nerve cells, potentially reducing
sensations of tingling and numbness.
Moreover, it promotes the
