Post concussion syndrome treatment and supplements

For treating post-concussion syndrome, experts suggest several supplements that may help with the symptoms and overall brain health:

1. Creatine Monohydrate:

   • Andrew Huberman highlights creatine monohydrate's potential in relieving headaches, dizziness, and fatigue due to traumatic brain injury (TBI). It's considered safe, relatively inexpensive, and effective 1.
   • Tommy Wood also advocates for creatine, especially prophylactic supplementation in those at high risk of TBI. Regular daily doses (5 grams) can increase brain creatine levels, aiding cognitive function and recovery 2.
   • Dr. Darren Candow notes studies showing improvements in speech, self-care, and other cognitive functions in children given creatine after concussions 3 4.

2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA):

   • Tommy Wood discusses DHA's role in neuronal health. High doses of DHA during a football season reduced markers of neuronal injury in athletes 5.
   • Jan Venter, MD mentions the use of high doses of omega-3s by the military to protect brain health before and after concussions 6.

3. Choline:

   • Choline supplements, particularly after impact, have shown promise in improving neuropsychological outcomes 5.

4. Ketones:

   • Dominic D'Agostino, Ph.D suggests that supplemental ketones and omega-3s could be neuroprotective and enhance both cognitive and physical performance on the field 7.

Other recommendations include ensuring proper sleep, maintaining adequate nutrition, exercising as tolerated, and engaging in brain training activities like those provided by Brain HQ, which may aid in recovery and cognitive function maintenance 8.

These suggestions should be considered as part of a comprehensive treatment approach in consultation with a healthcare provider.
