Any drugs, herbs, or dietary supplements that improve trading?

Gingko biloba is a natural supplement that is supposed to improve memory and mental performance. Anyone using it or recommend it? A lot of people drink coffee every morning because caffeine helps them stay awake. I find that caffeine causes me to become anxious and take a lot of impulsive trades while trading. Are there any other stuff out there that does not have side effects, but are beneficial in improving mental functions?

Don't lose sight of the obvious - stay hydrated - preferably with
good 'ol water...

Lack of fluids slows everything down...starting with your brain!

Tea and red grapes can slow than the aging process. Should be good for trading too.

For temporary relief of depression symptoms due to a losing streak, chocolate will help.
