JadeGreen,
PS 100. (standardized phosphatidylserine) has been mentioned before. Many of us use a brain nutrition regimen to help the body produce these important substances. PS 100 is a pricey supplement for those of us on a long term regimen.
The coconut oil is valuable because it has high levels of MCT's, Medium Chain Triglycerides. These support ketone production. The early onset Alzheimer's patient more likely suffers from an inability to metabolize glucose. Ketones are the body's emergency food for the brain. The ketogenic diet is based on raising the ketone levels in the blood. MCTs are often used for those on intravenous feeding. It is sometimes combined with fish oil.
It would be great to see some valid study of PS 100 for brain injuries.
