Can someone list the foods with chemicals that have nootropic effects (brain food) please? I can't be the only one that is interested in this. It's got to be cheaper than importing supplements even if isn't as powerful.

Ummm, you could chew on some snowdrops, but I guess they're not really your typical foodstuff. My dog says Pop Tarts are chock full of essential amino acids and the pink ones have a novel acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, but then, he tends to make stuff up.

Eggs = good source of choline
Bananas = tryptophan
Dark Chocolate = PEA
.. and I just thought of a couple of others, but then I forgot. Where's those snowdrops...

Obviously eating the right foods is key for good health and wellbeing but when it comes to specifically nootropic effects it's hard to beat a good old lab produced powder.

Oh and fish of course, especially oily fish like sardines, mackerel and salmon.

Skip the mackeral as....I forget which heavy metal (probably mercury) is an issue for mackeral.

Stick to salmon and sardines.

[lol] He does love his food but I wouldn't trust him to make anything but the most basic lasagne. It's a bit sad actually, we've had him for nealy 5 years and he's lovely but we're having to look for a new home for him because he's not a big fan of small children and we've got 2 now... [cry]
