Cerebral Blood Flow

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    The amount of blood, and thus oxygen, that is delivered to the brain. Compounds can enhance cerebral blood flow by either fixing problems in unhealthy persons (fish oil) or outright increase flow (Resveratrol, Chocamine). Does not increase cognition per se, but may augment nootropics.
