- A concussion happens from the shaking of the brain against the skull and not necessarily from a blunt trauma to the head, although blunt trauma is the most common mechanism.
- Most concussion symptoms go away after 7-10 days. 10-20% of head injuries last more than 30 days and become post-concussion syndrome
- The best nutritional support for concussion recovery includes Omega-3 fatty acids, Antioxidants (Curcumin, Resveratrol, Creatine, Vit C, D, E), Proteins
- Once you have had a concussion, you are exponentially more likely to suffer another one
- If you have a neck injury with a concussion it will take on average 10 days longer to make a clinical recovery. Also, it is 4x more likely to experience symptoms beyond 30 days.
