Top 3 Nootropics That Fight Brain Fog aka ‘Mom Brain’

Are you among the over 60% of midlife women who experience brain fog, including a lack of concentration and focus? Or maybe your menstrual cycle is about to begin, and you feel more forgetful than ever? And we’ve all heard about the dreaded postpartum ‘mom brain’, which is proven to be a real thing, not just a trendy word. 

No matter what stage of life you’re in, brain fog is a symptom most women experience at one point or another. And what you really need is an extra boost of energy and clarity to get through your busy day.

That’s where nootropics come into play. They are ‘brain boosters’ that help enhance cognitive performance and promote brain wellness. Nootropics can improve memory, focus, attention, motivation, relaxation, mood, alertness, stress resistance, and other cognitive functions. 

While some can be synthetic, we focus on natural superfoods found in nature! Read on to learn about the top three ones and how they can help you feel more like your best self. 

3 Nootropics That Help With Memory & Focus 

Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is a delicious, creamy alternative to dairy milk, gaining popularity in recent years, and one of our favorite types of plant-based milk. It contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of healthy fat that your body can quickly convert into energy.  The MCTs in coconut have been shown to improve cognitive function and memory, making them an ideal superfood if you struggle with brain fog. 

Bacopa

Never heard of it? Bacopa is a powerful herb that's been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to promote memory and cognition. It increases blood flow to the brain and reduces inflammation, improving your overall brain function. Research has even shown that it can improve memory recall and retention, making it a great superfood nootropic to add to your diet. It’s also an adaptogen, which means it can help your body manage stress and feel more calm.  

Ginkgo Leaf 

Ginkgo leaf is another tried and true nootropic. It's been used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve brain function and memory. Like bacopa, ginkgo leaf increases the blood flow to the brain, improving overall brain health and cognitive function. It’s also an adaptogen, so add this amazing ingredient to help manage stress and feel more balanced. 

Whether you're a busy mom or just someone looking to improve your mental clarity and focus, incorporating these three nootropics into your diet can be a great way to boost your overall brain health.
