Is salmon a potent Nootropic ?

[Striving for more]

Whenever I have salmon, especially wild salmon, I always feel like I can focus for longer, have more mental energy & mental stamina 

It feels especially noticeable with salmon compared to blueberries ect.. 

I can't wait till I can afford to buy wild salmon every day lol

Watch out for heavy metals.

a clean high-quality wild-caught salmon (not the orange pale sick one but the dark red one) does have quite a lot of beneficial properties. Besides loads of DHA and EPA you have high density of mitochondria, lots of carnitine, creatine, carnosine, iron, B-vitamins and other things. Maybe not a nootropic as just giving your cells a lot of balancing essential nutrients. But I agree, too expensive to consume regularly. 

Also loads of tryptophan that convert to melatonin or serotonin while  sitting on your GABA receptors will do that

Blue berries still give me a nice kink too, especially paired with spinach in smoothie, 10/10 brain boost

@Opo I thought most fish were ok as for heavy metals ? 

I met a really knowledgeable biology/health student once, and he was vegan and ate zero fish.

Not saying this is the right way, but makes me wonder

Aye, preferably wild and raw  Though most obviously the strongest nootropic is brain.

Spinach for the extra oxalates I assume? I heard it's very good if you want to get kidney stones.

Every day after training I remember about going to Whole Foods And I would get from the cold bar the salmon with kale and sweet potato and I remember how good I felt for a few hours afterwards.

 

From my direct experience, Salmon which is good and healthy looking mostly dark red like Michael said is very nootropical.

@Village  Again with that sociopathic carnivore nonsense. You may find it disturbing how people have compassion for animals while you don't even have any for humans, but that's not a reason to spread nonsense. If you will keep approaching with such intensions others I can guarantee for you, you will pay for it greatly. I know you're too egocentric to even consider such a possibility, no reason to prove it here for me, super hero.

 

 

 

OP isn't a vegan, he stated he loves salmon if you hadn't noticed, so I suggested him another non-vegan food. Seriously, what do you want? lol
