But that's obviously in a very controlled clinical setting.

Choline is another thing, particularly acetylcholine.

So best evidence is for one to two grams a day of choline in the form of CDP choline or acetylcholine, which is the same thing.

Those are the main ones.

Then there's some other like niche supplements that do have some evidence.

The one that probably has the most evidence for it is Boswellia.

boswellia uh yeah uh which is a frank indian frankincense uh but there's an extract of boswellia that's been tested in i think three different clinical trials after tbi showed some benefit and zogenol which i think is a pine extract slightly less evidence than boswellia i typically would recommend people stick to the first group of kind of nutritional type supplements um but in very specific um

use cases based on specific symptoms some of those other things might be beneficial then beyond that we know that physical return to physical activity as soon as possible is really important without getting another head injury without getting another head injury and you know so so this really changed over the last few years you know maybe five ten years ago people like you know rest is what you need to do go lie in a dark room if you've got a concussion in sports you

you would expect the team to have a rigorous return to play protocol that included low level aerobic activity as soon as you're able to tolerate it two or three times a week at a level just below what might make your symptoms worse.

And then first you do sort of like non-specific aerobic exercise and then you start to bring back

skill specific exercises, sports exercises, then go back into full training and then go back into playing kind of in that order.

And that should be quite systematized now.

So I would expect sports teams to kind of have that in place.

So like the standard of care is generally physical therapy.

If you have any ongoing cognitive or physical symptoms, sort of a month plus after any kind of traumatic brain injury.

There's some evidence that like virtual reality or augmented reality physical activity might improve cognitive symptoms, vestibular therapy for balance and dizziness issues.

And then increasingly, there's a focus on sort of oculomotor training for like convergence or other eye issues that are very common after concussions.

aren't picked up as often as people might like.

But increasingly kind of eye tracking and these kinds of things are done, particularly in professional sports or other arenas after brain injuries to kind of, ideally you'd have a baseline, you figure out what's changed, and then you would track that over time.

And you can train that depending on the deficit.
