Dr. Arun L. Naik, a neurosurgeon trained at AIIMS, New Delhi, emphasizes a preventative approach to brain health through targeted supplementation. His regimen includes five key nutrients believed to support cognitive function and structural brain integrity.

1. Magnesium – Crucial for nerve function and modulation of neuroinflammation; helps support memory, mood, sleep, and protects against neurodegenerative conditions.

2. DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) – An omega‑3 fatty acid fundamental for brain development, neuron membranes, and memory support.

3. Vitamin B12 – Essential for nerve health, cognitive function, and preventing deficiency-related neurological issues.

4. Creatine – Supports cellular energy metabolism in neurons, enhancing memory and mental performance.

5. Vitamin D – Acts as a neuromodulator and may protect against cognitive decline and mood disorders.

Dr. Naik advocates that these supplements can form part of a broader brain care strategy that includes healthy diet, sleep, and exercise. However, he underscores the importance of personalized consultation before beginning any supplement regimen, especially considering potential medical conditions or medications.

By integrating well-researched nutrients with lifestyle practices, Dr. Naik aims to proactively preserve cognitive resilience and delay neurodegenerative progression.
