Stroke: A Brain in Crisis
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is suddenly blocked, leading to oxygen deprivation and damage to brain cells. This triggers inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. While emergency treatment focuses on stabilization, true recovery depends on long-term brain regeneration and biochemical support.
Hope Beyond the Critical Phase
Traditional stroke rehabilitation often plateaus after a few months—but modern therapies now offer new hope. One of the most promising is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), which delivers concentrated oxygen to damaged brain tissue. It supports:
-
Enhanced oxygenation
-
Reduction of inflammation
-
Stimulation of neuroplasticity (brain rewiring and repair)
We offer HBOT in our private hyperbaric chamber in Hertfordshire, UK, using gentle, low-pressure protocols that are specifically suited for neurological recovery. These sessions are ideal even years after a stroke and are designed to support healing without increasing oxidative stress.
Stroke Recovery Requires More Than Just Therapy
After a stroke, the body’s internal balance is often disrupted. Mitochondria—the energy factories of cells—function poorly, detox pathways are overloaded, and inflammation persists. That’s why targeted food supplements are not just supportive—they’re essential.
We provide a range of premium food supplements in the UK, many of which are formulated in Poland and trusted by rehabilitation professionals.
Key Food Supplements for Stroke Recovery (Available Online in the UK)
- BestLife – A foundational complex that supports mitochondrial function, stress resilience, and cell regeneration. Essential for patients post-stroke. Includes PQQ, CoQ10, Magnesium and spermidine.
- Magnesium – Crucial for neuromuscular function, calming the nervous system, and supporting vascular tone. Often deficient in stroke survivors.
- Omega-3 – Not just beneficial—essential. Omega-3s reduce inflammation, repair neuronal membranes, and support cognitive recovery. The quality of Omega, with full certification is crucial. We are happy to offer EQology, as the best quality, certified and clean from all heavy metals and low totox.

- Neuroset (B-complex) – B vitamins are required for neurotransmitter synthesis, nerve regeneration, and energy metabolism.
- Nucleotides – Fundamental for cell repair, immune function, and the rebuilding of neural tissue.
- Collagen – Supports the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, connective tissue repair, and recovery after neurological injury.
- Ashwagandha – Adaptogen that reduces stress-induced cortisol elevations, stabilizes mood, and supports brain healing.
- Lion’s Mane – A powerful nootropic mushroom known for stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF) and supporting neurogenesis.
