Improving your brain health performance may be as easy as adding KISMET Neuro Optimize natural supplement to your daily routine. The right combination of nutrients may give you the boost you need to regain optimal brain function.
Whether you are in university or a someone with a crazy hectic lifestyle, our 7 tips below will give a major brain boost and help restore some clarity and focus into your daily routine. It’s a great time to give your brain a little TLC with these natural secrets for success.
- Healthy Fats: Did you know the human brain is made up of about 60% fat? It’s no surprise, then, that being deficient in fat will affect your brain function, memory, focus, and ability to think clearly. Ensuring you get enough healthy fats through your diet (nuts, seeds, avocado, healthy oils like coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil) will literally fuel your brain with energy. We’re also big fans of fish oil for some extra EPA and DHA, essential fatty acids necessary for brain activity and cognitive function
- Probiotics: A healthy gut makes a healthy brain. The gut flora, and the condition of your digestive system, directly impacts things like mental health, clarity, emotion, and mood. In fact, 90% of our serotonin (happy hormone) is made in our gut. Keep your gut healthy, and everything will fall into place! Probiotics like KISMET Candida are a great way to help keep your gut and brain healthy.
- Antioxidants: The brain is vulnerable to the damaging effects of free radicals, and antioxidants help to fight free radicals and prevent oxidation damage. Therefore, antioxidants protect your brain!
- B Vitamins: This family of vitamins is crucial for brain and nerve function. They help memory improvement and function, help your brain use carbohydrates and protein, and lower risk of dementia and depression.
- Ditch the sugar: You knew we’d sneak this in here somewhere… but for good reason! Refined sugars not only cause mood swings and hormonal upsets, but also decrease immune function and disrupt your nervous system. In fact, sugar consumption has been linked to conditions like ADHD. Eliminating sugar (and other processed, fried foods) will help you with memory, concentration, focus, and performance. Need some energy?
- Breakfast: It really is the most important meal of the day. Having breakfast in the morning helps tell your circadian rhythms (your sleep and wake cycle) that it’s time to get up and get moving with the day. Without breakfast, you lack this vital component in getting your brain and body moving. A breakfast filled with sufficient protein, quality fat, and great fiber is the perfect way to ensure you’re fueling yourself with brain food all day long.

Why Take KISMET Neuro Optimize Supplement for Brain Health?
KISMET Neuro Optimize supplement contains Phosphatidylserine, Bacopa Monniera leaf extract, N-Acetyl-L Carnitine, L-Glutamine, and Ginkgo Biloba.
Phosphatidylserine is a potent nutrient that improves the health of brain cells and in doing so, boosts mental focus. According to research, taking phosphatidylserine regularly has rejuvenating effects on brain function for people who frequently suffer from anxiety or difficulty remaining focused on their tasks [2].
Bacopa Monniera leaf extract is an excellent source of antioxidants that support the health or brain cells by targeting harmful chemicals and substances that may cause damage and physical symptoms such as fatigue and impaired concentration [3]. The blend of Bacopa Monniera and Phosphatidylserine has even been shown to reduce symptoms such as a lack of concentration, anxiety, headaches, nervousness, headaches, fatigue, and anxiety [2, 4].
Cells in the brain also need N-Acetyl-L Carnitine in order to grow and repair themselves if they become damaged by free radicals, which are toxins that can enter the brain and harm healthy cells [5]. This particular ingredient also helps boost energy levels.
L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid that the cells throughout the body, including the brain, need for proper growth and repair. However, the body also breaks down L-Glutamine and uses it as energy [6]. Healthy brain cells promote prolonged focus, concentration, overall mental performance, and sustained energy levels during the day.
In addition to protecting brain cells from damage, it is important that brain receives an adequate supply of nutrient and oxygen-rich blood. Ginkgo biloba is a powerful herb that boosts the flow of blood to the brain, thereby enhancing various mental processes such as attention, memory, and the ability to quickly recall different events [7, 8].
Additional ingredients in KISMET Neuro Optimize, are St. John’s Wort, Huperzine-A, Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) Bitartrate, and Vinpocetine. These types of substances have relaxing, blood circulation, and energy-boosting properties [9-12].
This particular combination ensures that the specific nutrients the brain needs, including oxygen, is consistently circulated to cells that play a major role in mental performance. If the levels of essential vitamins, amino acids, and additional components gradually decrease during the day, so will your ability to remain focused.
Therefore, it is essential to take a KISMET Neuro Optimize supplement regularly for brain health.
