A lot of supps on the market have ingredients that can't pass the blood brain barrier, while there are others that are in fact effective. I think a lot of it has to marketing.

I know from personal experience I can feel the difference in mood and energy based on what I eat (plus exercise, stress, and sleep), but looking at the list of references in the article is impressive. I agree with the article that we need to at least consider trying more lifestyle changes that work with our bodies rather than resorting to quick fixes that may lead to other problems.
