These cofactor or nutrients of particular neurotransmitters have their respective enhancer which is also nutrient example- zinc is cofactor of serotonin whereas vitamin A is enhancer of zinc. Every nutrient have their particular peak & t ½ value as medicine. So there is need to plan such type of dietary pattern to patients to enhance learning through their respective cofactor with enhancer & there is also need to give enhancer before co factor peak & t ½ level will attain.
