According to researches performed by Bourre J.M. (Neuro-pharmaco-nutritionist), he observed the following relationships between vitamins and cognitive performance.

(i) vitamins B12, B6, A, and E ensure a better visuo-spatial memory and improve abstraction test results

(ii) vitamin C improves visuo-spatial performance

(iii) thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and the folates improve the level of abstract thought and lead to a more favourable biochemical status

The foods are
