Acetylcholine: Nature's Nootropic for Boosting Brain Function

from Diet Science · host Dee and Michael McCaffrey

Acetylcholine enhances memory, focus, and muscle function, earning its reputation as a natural nootropic. But, as we age, the body's ability to produce it declines, potentially impacting brain health and physical performance. Listen in this week as Dee explains how acetylcholine is made in the body, and practical ways to boost its production through diet and supplementation. Reference:Nakazaki, E., Mah, E., Sanoshy, K., Citrolo, D., & Watanabe, F.
