Just wanted to ask, does anyone recommend or have experience in taking some type of supplement to enhance brain (function/memory/concentration) such as Gingko Brahmi, or anything of the sort? All remarks will be appreciated.

Copy-paste from a discussion with rohitpi
Simultaneous balancing of the left and right brain maximises learning as well as retention and recall of information. This can be accomplished by listening to certain Baroque pieces, such as Mozart's Sonata for Two Piano's in D Major.
The effectiveness of this sonata was investigated by analysing the results from an IQ test performed on three groups of
college students. The first group listened to the above mentioned sonata before taking the test. The second group
listened to a relaxation tape before their test. The third group did not listen to anything before the test.
The third group obtained the lowest score with an average of 110. The second group ended up with an average of 111,
whereas the first group – the one that listened to Mozart’s sonata received the highest score, with an average of 119.
That equates to an 8.2% increase in results!
Not only does the action of balancing the brain by listening to Baroque style music increase recall and decrease the
likelihood of making errors, it also causes the release of neurotransmitters in the brain which help the body to relax,
which results in obvious advantages in the exam.
To prevent "foggy brain syndrome", do NOT eat a meal high in simple carbohydrates. i.e. Avoid high quantities
of processed sugar (lemonade, fizzy drinks, lollies, ice-cream, sweets such as chocolate, donut etc. Opt for a high
protein and complex carbohydrate breakfast instead. Examples include: Unprocessed cereals (wheat bix, porridge,
cornflakes, rice bubbles etc), bacon, eggs and wholemeal/grain bread, baked beans.
