For the brain to function properly, it needs a variety of nutrients. 

Here are the most important nutrients:

Vitamin C

Vitamin C stimulates the production of neurotransmitters - chemicals that transmit messages from neurons to muscles that determine our ability to focus and remember new information, as well as our mood. Known neurotransmitters are, for example, dopamine and serotonin.

It is believed that people with mood disorders, including depression, are often deficient in vitamin C, as well as dopamine and serotonin.

Vitamin D

This vitamin has a powerful effect on your brain at all stages of life. Pregnant women, for example, are advised to eat foods with vitamin D or spend time outdoors in sunny weather, as this vitamin is essential for fetal brain development. For adolescents and adults, this vitamin helps regulate mood, improves memory, and later in life helps to reduce the risk of developing dementia.

Vitamin B

 Vitamins B6, B9, and B12 also play an important role in our brain by lowering the amino acid levels of homocysteine, a high level of which increases the tendency to develop serious health problems, including Alzheimer's disease, heart disease and kidney failure.

B vitamins also contribute to the production of serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Their low concentrations are associated with susceptibility to mental pathologies - depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, insomnia.
