Wise indeed was whoever first said — show me a problem, and I'll show you a business. And perhaps there's no greater problem known to the mind than, well, the very instrument responsible for the mind. The human brain.
From depression to fatigue, the human brain is the star of the show. For this reason, it's no wonder brain-health supplements are seemingly the wave of the future.
