Natural sources of both include egg yolks and mammal livers. (Salmon and tuna contain modest amounts of both, too.)

I know what i'm about to write is purely aneddotical, n=1 and all the usual things, however: i started noticing clear and evident mood improvements change between when eggs are part of my diet and when they aren't.

Important article which everybody should heed and act accordingly to make changes in lifestyle.

Due to various reasons (eg. age/bad diet/lack of exercise/etc.), i was suffering from brain fog, gut problems, low motivation/energy/fatigue, sleep problems etc. for the last couple of years. Finally, did some research, regularized my diet, disciplined my exercise and added the following supplements which solved all my problems.

  1) Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) sublingual tablet. Important for vegetarians. 
  2) Multivitamins and Multiminerals (with optional ginseng etc.)
  3) Omega 3, 6 and 9 (with optional gingko etc.)
  4) Vitamin B complex with Zinc
  5) Vitamin D with Calcium (500IU/500mg)
  6) Vitamin C chewable tablet
Take only 1 of the above per day so that you rotate every 7th day. Finally;

  7) Have a Pre and Probiotic capsule with lunch everyday to solve gut problems.
Note: If you are in India, you can get all of the above (and more) for low cost at any of the "Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Janausadhi Kendra" shops in your neighbourhood - https://www.janaushadhi.gov.in/

I think it’s dangerous to play around with this without blood tests. That said, I do use D3 and B12 supplements, since I always scored low when getting tested, and I do feel better now that I do.

Most effect on my health and diet has therapy. I do believe there is only so much you can do “by force” (willpower), and it’s much nicer to do it by tuning the underlying programming (eg. parts work/ifs and the like).
