Unlocking Evidence-Based Ingredients for Active Nutrition, Executive Function, eSports and Optimal Lifespan

Discover an informative webinar focusing on the effect of cognitive aspects like mental processing, executive function and cognitive reasoning across eSports, active nutrition and lifespan optimization, and the critical role played by them in human performance and well-being.

In eSports, where split-second decisions are pivotal, elite gamers demonstrate superior reaction times, heightened visual processing skills and enhanced decision-making abilities. These cognitive advantages can be nourished by a scientifically validated essential dietary intake.

Nutrition is a cornerstone of cognitive enhancement, with specific nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, VitaCholine and B vitamins such as Panmol NADH and xanthophylls are known, to support mental clarity, focus and energy levels. Incorporating these scientifically validated ingredients into dietary formulations can provide tangible benefits for consumers striving for peak cognitive performance.

Preserving cognitive health is paramount for a fulfilling life, and lifestyle factors such as regular exercise, mental stimulation, healthy diet and social engagement are key contributors to longevity. Proven science has shown that specific nutrients promote cognitive resilience, and individuals can maintain optimal brain function and quality of life as they age. Integrating visual processing tasks into daily activities, such as gaming and driving, can enhance cognitive abilities related to visual perception, attention and reaction time.

In summary, the scientific evidence highlights the interconnectedness of cognitive aspects across eSports, active nutrition and lifespan optimization. By understanding and leveraging nutritional supplements that support cognitive benefits inherent in each domain, effective formulas that support the pursuit of peak performance, cognitive vitality and enhanced well-being throughout the lifespan can be created.

Register for this webinar today to understand how active nutrition helps athletes, gamers and professionals attain optimal cognitive performance.

Speakers

Professor John Nolan, PhD, Fulbright Scholar and Howard Chair for Human Nutrition Research at the South East Technological University (SETU) Waterford, IE, Director of Nutrition Research Centre Ireland

Professor John Nolan, a Fulbright Scholar, is a full professor at the South East Technological University (SETU), Waterford, Ireland, where he holds a Howard Chair in Human Nutrition and is the Director of the Nutrition Research Centre Ireland (NRCI). His research centre studies the role of nutrition for vision, cognitive function and prevention of age-related diseases. In 2011, Prof Nolan won a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) research grant to study the impact of nutritional supplementation on visual function via two major clinical trials (CREST 281096; Central Retinal Enrichment Supplementation Trials). As part of this ground-breaking work, Prof Nolan identified how targeted nutrition can improve visual function for the general population, and for patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

More recent studies at the NRCI have investigated the link between nutrition and brain health and function, and over the last number of years Nolan and team have published novel papers on how targeted nutrients enhance cognitive function for the general population and improve quality of life for patients suffering with Alzheimer’s disease. Nolan’s work has had a major societal impact for patients suffering with AMD and for enhancing vision of the general population; for recognition,  the CREST project was selected for presentation at a high-level conference entitled ‘EU Research & Innovation in Daily Life’, which took place at the European Parliament in Brussels to highlight the impact of EU-funded research and innovation in daily life.
