The invention relates to a food capable of improving functions of cerebral nerve cells and a making method of the food. The food capable of improving functions of cerebral nerve cells comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight of 50-200 parts of a fructus phyllanthi extract, 5-50 parts of phosphatidylserine, 5-50 parts of sodium hyaluronate, 1.5-15 parts of gamma-aminobutyric acid, 0.3-3 parts of calcium pantothenate and 6-30 parts of epsilon-poly-L-lysine-HCl. The food capable of improving functions of cerebral nerve cells has the effects of adjusting conduction of nerve impulse, enhancing cerebral memory functions, repairing damaged brain cells and the like; besides, the food capable of improving functions of cerebral nerve cells can be made into powder, slices, granules and liquid, so that the application crowds can be greatly widened; and besides, the making technology of the food is simple and easy to operate, and large-scale production is facilitated.
