DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid):

Synergistic mechanism: DHA and EPA mainly come from deep-sea fish oil and others. They have a synergistic effect with nervonic acid in the maintenance and functional optimization of the nervous system. DHA is an important component of the brain and retina, which can enhance the fluidity of nerve cells and improve the efficiency of nerve signal transmission. EPA has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps reduce neuroinflammation. When used together with nervonic acid, they can jointly promote the health of nerve cells, especially in improving cognitive function and reducing neuroinflammation. For example, in some studies on the decline of cognitive function in the elderly, it is found that supplementing DHA, EPA, and nervonic acid at the same time can more effectively improve the scores of cognitive tests than supplementing any one ingredient alone. Applicable population and recommended dose: For adults who pay attention to brain health, especially middle-aged and elderly people, appropriate supplementation of DHA, EPA, and nervonic acid may be beneficial. The recommended dose varies depending on the product and individual differences. Generally speaking, the total intake of DHA and EPA is about 250 – 500 milligrams per day. The dose of nervonic acid can be about 100 – 300 milligrams per day according to the specific product instructions and doctor’s advice. However, it is best to consult a doctor before starting supplementation, especially for people with bleeding disorders or taking anticoagulant drugs, because DHA and EPA have a certain anticoagulant effect.

Vitamin B complex:

Synergistic mechanism: The vitamin B complex includes multiple members such as vitamins B1, B2, B6, and B12. They play a key role in the metabolic process of nerve cells. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) participates in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and is crucial for nerve conduction; vitamin B12 helps maintain the integrity of the nerve myelin sheath. When used together with nervonic acid, they can better maintain the metabolism and function of nerve cells. For example, in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, the combined use of nervonic acid and vitamin B complex can improve the neurological symptoms of patients, such as reducing the feeling of numbness and pain in the hands and feet. Applicable population and recommended dose: Applicable to people at risk of neuropathy, such as diabetic patients and alcoholics. The recommended dose of vitamin B complex varies depending on the specific member. Taking vitamin B1 as an example, the recommended daily intake for adults is 1.1 – 1.2 milligrams; the recommended daily intake for adults of vitamin B12 is about 2.4 micrograms. The dose of nervonic acid can still refer to the above range, but pay attention to adjusting according to individual circumstances and the doctor’s advice.

Phosphatidylserine:

Synergistic mechanism: Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid component present in cell membranes. It can enhance the fluidity of nerve cell membranes and make the signal transmission between nerve cells more efficient. When used in combination with nervonic acid, they can complement each other and further optimize the structure and function of nerve cell membranes. Just like double-reinforcing the “communication network” of nerve cells to improve the working efficiency of the brain. In some studies on improving memory, using nervonic acid and phosphatidylserine at the same time can significantly improve the scores on memory tests more than using any one ingredient alone. Applicable population and recommended dose: Suitable for people with memory loss and declining cognitive function. The recommended dose of phosphatidylserine is generally 100 – 300 milligrams per day. When combined with nervonic acid, the dose of nervonic acid can be adjusted around 100 – 300 milligrams/day according to the product and individual circumstances. At the same time, pay attention to the individual’s reaction to these ingredients.

Lutein and zeaxanthin:

Synergistic mechanism: Lutein and zeaxanthin are mainly concentrated in the macular area of the retina of the eye. They can absorb blue light and protect the retina from light damage. Nervonic acid also has a certain role in maintaining the nervous system including the optic nerve. When used together, they can protect eye health from multiple angles. For example, in people who use electronic devices for a long time, supplementing nervonic acid, lutein, and zeaxanthin at the same time can effectively relieve symptoms such as eye fatigue and dryness, and may also help prevent eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration to a certain extent. Applicable population and recommended dose: Suitable for people who use their eyes frequently, such as office workers who face computer screens for a long time and people who read frequently. The recommended dose of lutein and zeaxanthin is usually 6 – 10 milligrams per day. The dose of nervonic acid can be around 100 – 300 milligrams/day according to individual circumstances. Specific use should be combined with product instructions and doctor’s advice.
