Research on Foods and Ingredients That Contribute to Maintenance and Improvement of Brain Function

Abstract

From the perspective of complementary and alternative medicine, we searched for human clinical research reports on functional foods and nutrients that aimed at maintaining and improving brain function. Specifically, we comprehensively investigated the clinical reports that examined the efficacy of functional ingredients in terms of the maintenance and improvement of brain function, memory, and cognition in healthy individuals. Moreover, we examined the summary of intervention and test results of articles extracted from the Ichushi-Web and J Dream III databases.
