    Brain stimulants...

    Anyone know of any natural (supplements/herbs) that help at all with focusing / sharpness of memory / anything to do with improving the function of the brain / memory. I know there are some amino acids which assist this but I can't remember the names and searching is difficult when you don't know the keywords, heh. Any help appreciated.

    Ginko-Biloba is one I believe, though I'm not quite sure on the spelling. St. John's Wart is supposed to elevate your mood. I'm not sure what other effects it may have.

    Look up Nootropics. There are some good studies which help show effects of these on various brain functions.

    fish oil and EFA's are apparently the natural "alternative" to drugs like ritalin and adderol.

    Tyrosine is the amino acid you are thinking of...

    This is good stuff -


    Pyridoxine (B6) 20mg

    L-Tyrosine 3000mg _

    phosphatidylcholine 1000mg _

    DMAE(dimethylaminoethanol) 200mg _

    ginkgo biloba 200mg

    Well...turns out Acetyl-L-Carnitine and other aminos arent solid in Canadian health food stores. Damn. Anyone know any stuff available in Canada thats useful? Ginkgo was proven to be useless.
