Supplements for Mental Clarity & Focus

What causes brain fog?

A whole array of things can lead to brain fog, from stress and dehydration to not getting enough exercise.

Other common causes include:

• Vitamin deficiencies: You may experience brain fog if you are not getting enough vitamin B12, C, or D in your diet.
• Hormones: Hormonal fluctuations can also affect how your brain functions. So if you’re a woman who finds certain points of the month are a no-go for productivity, it’s completely normal! The same goes for those experiencing peri-menopause. Hormonal fluctuations don’t just affect women, however. See how supplements for hormonal balance can support your brain function, regardless of gender.
• A lack of sleep: If you’re finding it tricky to drift off or you wake up a lot in the night (be it due to anxiety, night feeds, or another cause), you may experience brain fog throughout the day. Supplements for tiredness and fatigue could help you feel more alert and ready for whatever comes your way.
• Being ill: When you’re under the weather or recovering from an illness, it’s natural to feel a bit cloudy. Improving your immune system can help speed up your recovery from colds and other lurgies, helping to keep cotton-wool-brain at bay. Find out more about immune system boosters.

What are the best supplements for brain function?

Whether you’re experiencing a general feeling of tiredness and brain fog or you want to prime your brain health for a specific event, such as an exam or project, there are a few supplements that can offer a greater sense of mental clarity.

Here are the top extracts and supplements to explore — just remember to always check with your doctor if you have any worries about suitability and contraindications.

• L-Theanine: This amino acid is found in green tea. It’s known to have a calming effect and help promote better focus and brain function. We offer L-Theanine Extract Capsules so you can easily incorporate this supplement into your daily routine.
• Ginkgo Biloba: Studies have shown that this plant extract may help improve memory and concentration. It’s available in capsules and as a tincture, depending on which you prefer.
• Vitamin D: Adding a vitamin D3 supplement to your daily intake could help boost your mood and general brain function, as well as slow down age-related cognitive decline. Spritz our Vitamin D3 + K2 Sublingual Spray under your tongue for an easy way to administer two important vitamins at once.
• Rhodiola Rosea: Adaptogen, rhodiola rosea, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can give your brain function a welcome uplift. It’s thought to help with learning and memory. It’s a key extract in our Focus Complex For Clarity & Calm capsules, along with lion’s mane mushroom and gingko biloba.
