Nourish your nervous system with these essential nutrients that support brain health, boost mood and keep your mind sharp. Read more below about how each of these nutrients can have positive impacts on the nervous system and stress response.
Protein
Proteins are made from amino acids, they are essential for nervous system health as they are used by the brain for the synthesis of various neurotransmitters and neuromodulators.
Research has suggested that particular amino acids can be a factor in the regulation of neurotransmission in the central nervous system, cognitive performance and mood. Such amino acids include: tryptophan, tyrosine, histidine, and arginine.

Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3s are commonly found in fatty fish such as salmon, sardines + tuna.
Studies have found a protective link between omega-3s and stress, whereby these fatty acids have the ability to minimise damage to glutamate neurotransmitters, induced by the body's stress response. Glutamate is important for memory, cognition and mood regulation within the body.
2-3 x servings per week of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can have a protective effect and support nervous system health.
Vitamin D
Studies have shown that vitamin D is also used within the body to regulate nervous system health and development, such as neurotrophin production and release and the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Recent studies have also found that low levels of vitamin D within the body are associated with increased symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Top up your vitamin D intake from sunlight and dietary sources (eggs, fatty fish, mushrooms).
Vitamin B complex
Studies have shown that B1, B6 and B12 in particular are important for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system overall.
Research has found a link between deficiencies in these B vitamins within the body and the occurrence of a range of neurological diseases. Research has also found supplementing vitamin B may help to improve nerve pain and nerve injury in certain parts of the body.
These vitamins can be obtained through an increased consumption of animal-based proteins, legumes, seeds and fortified products.
