Sweets with a neurotransmitter as an ingredient:
We've featured various sorts of brain candy sweets before on Mind Hacks, but the Japanese sweets Aha! Brain take the concept a step further by including an actual neurotransmitter as an ingredient.
The lime flavour includes the neurotransmitter GABA, while other flavours have branched chain amino acids and something called forskolin in them instead.
All of which are important in brain functioning but whether actually eating them as sugar-coated candies will do you any good is anyone's guess.
