Then omega-3 fatty acids.

The evidence is a little bit better for like... There are now several studies in like collegiate American football players where they take...

a couple of grams of omega-3s every day.

And across a season, you see less accumulation of biomarkers of injury, like neurofilament light that are circulating in the blood.

So that's something that I would just take long, like longitudinally.

If you're somebody who's at risk of a concussion because of your sport or your job, I would just, you know, take a reasonable omega-3 supplement just long-term because we have some reasonable evidence for that.

then other things might become a little bit specific to the symptoms that you're experiencing.

So if you have sleep issues, then there's studies that have used melatonin, and that's shown improvements of branched-chain amino acids at high doses for sleep.

And that's interesting because outside of TBI, high doses of branched-chain amino acids may actually impair

sleep because they compete for tryptophan uptake into the brain, potentially decreasing serotonin and melatonin production.

In TBI, there are two studies that suggest improvements in sleep with high doses of branched-chain amino acids.

So I don't think they, at least I don't remember the leucine dose, but they were taking up to 60 grams of branched chain meiosis.

Six zero.

So, okay.

So like one study they did in veterans, they had, I think it was three doses of 20 grams spread across the day.

Absolutely.

And then in people with a history of brain trauma and PTSD, and I think some of these other psychedelics are going to be very interesting there as well, potentially due to

their neuroplastic effects that tend to particularly happen in macro doses, in the psychedelic doses.

I think that there's a lot more to come there, but certainly the trials that have been done so far are quite compelling.
