I just came across this article about BCAA's, which are amino acids, and how researchers think when taken as a supplement that they could help people recovering from mTBI and MTBI.

Researchers are going to give people with mTBI and MTBI BCAA's in new studies.


Here's an older study where researchers discovered that BCAA's helped people recovering from Severe TBI.

I read that it's best to take supplements that are 50 percent leucine, 25 percent isoleucine, and 25 percent valine and B6 is needed to synthesize the amino acids.

If you're healing from a brain injury, your doctor has probably already told you to take a B Complex regularly and B12 daily. (My neurologist told me to!) So that's where you'll get some B6 for the amino acids. But you might also want to get a BCAA supplement with a little B6 in it for good measure.

**Don't forget to write this stuff down so you can ask your Dr. about whether you should try it. You want to make sure you talk about it with them first so they don't interfere with any drugs you might be taking, etc...
