* '''[[Creatine]]:''' Often associated with muscle strength, creatine has also shown neuroprotective effects in various models of neurological diseases. It supports energy metabolism in brain cells and may offer benefits in conditions like Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and ALS. | * '''[[Creatine]]:''' Often associated with muscle strength, creatine has also shown neuroprotective effects in various models of neurological diseases.

* '''[[Acetyl-L-Carnitine]]:''' This supplement is involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism and has been explored for its benefits in peripheral neuropathy, especially related to diabetes, and in Alzheimer's disease. It helps transport fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production and has potential neuroprotective properties. | * '''[[Acetyl-L-Carnitine]]:''' This supplement is involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism and has been explored for its benefits in peripheral neuropathy, especially related to diabetes, and in Alzheimer's disease.

* '''[[NAD+ Precursor|NAD+ Precursors]]:''' [[Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)]] is a vital coenzyme in cellular energy metabolism and plays a significant role in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, cell signaling, and aging. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and this reduction is linked to various age-related diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. Supplementation with NAD+ precursors is thought to boost NAD+ levels in the body. This can potentially support cellular health, improve energy metabolism in brain cells, and offer neuroprotective effects. Studies are exploring their efficacy in conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative and cognitive disorders. These precursors are a promising area of research for their potential to mitigate age-related decline in neurological function. | |||
