Safety Profile
Brain fog is symptom, not diagnosis - always search for root cause. Common causes: thyroid (even subclinical hypothyroid causes fog), blood sugar dysregulation, sleep apnea, chronic inflammation, gut issues, mold toxins, nutrient deficiencies. Mitochondrial dysfunction in brain causes fatigue/fog. Neuroinflammation from diet (gluten), infections, toxins. Ketones are superior brain fuel to glucose - ketogenic diet or MCT oil therapeutic. Many nootropics have modest evidence but combining approaches works better. Lion's Mane unique for NGF stimulation (neurogenesis). Bacopa well-studied Ayurvedic herb. Magnesium threonate specifically crosses blood-brain barrier. Alpha-GPC boosts acetylcholine (memory). Omega-3 is brain structure (DHA is 40% of brain fatty acids). Exercise and sleep non-negotiable - BDNF and glymphatic drainage. Many people living in constant brain fog thinking it's normal - optimization possible.
