Brain Fog? Here’s 28 science-backed ingredients to get your mind back to peak performance

Written by the Qualia Staff, Oct. 26, 2022

These vitamins, herbs, and amino acids are the “grand slam” of cognitive performance

There are 4 areas of brain health to focus on if you want to beat brain fog:

• Energy
• Clarity
• Focus
• Memory

When you support all 4, you’re giving your mind the best shot at peak performance. Here’s what we recommend taking for each.*

1. Energy. No surprises here: caffeine is the most popular focus aid on Earth. But caffeine doesn’t create energy, it just helps your brain use it faster. So the key is to support the brain with vitamins and amino acids that help your body naturally create energy*, like…

• Acetyl-L-Carnitine and Taurine: amino acids that your body uses to make energy ³
• B Vitamins: specifically B1 (Thiamine), B3 (Niacinamide). B5 (Calcium pantothenate), B6 (Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate), and B12 (Methylcobalamin) — all essential for creating energy. ⁴
• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): a version of vitamin D that’s twice as bioavailable as vitamin D2. ⁵

2. Clarity. Think of this as the “yin” to caffeine’s “yang.” Caffeine can wreak havoc on the acetylcholine system, and these compounds help your brain regulate it.

• Alpha-GPC, citicoline, huperzia serrata: These help you produce and retain more choline, which is often in short supply if you’re doing mentally-challenging work. ⁶
• L-Theanine: found in green tea leaves, it promotes a calming effect that can “take the edge off” of caffeine. ⁷
• Uridine-5'-Monophosphate: synergizes with choline sources to support memory and focus. ⁸

3. Memory. Memory is all about making and strengthening connections between neurons. These adaptogens and brain tonics can promote this process, helping you retain information.

• Bacopa monnieri: Also known as water hyssop, it’s known to support learning and memory. ⁹
• Celastrus paniculatus: Known as the “intellect tree” in ayurvedic medicine, it promotes overall cognitive health when taken regularly. ¹⁰
• Ginkgo biloba: A tree whose roots promote cerebral blood flow for healthy memory retention. ¹¹

4. Productivity. To stay motivated, your brain needs the right amount of dopamine — and these ingredients have been shown in studies to help the brain regulate dopamine:

• Velvet Bean: Also known as mucuna pruriens, it provides the key building block of dopamine. ¹²
• N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine: An amino acid your body uses to make dopamine, shown in studies to help with resilience to stress. ¹³
• Vitamin C: shown to promote a return to baseline in periods of high stress. ¹⁴

Before you run out to the nearest health-food store, there are 3 things to know

First: the type of each supplement you take is extremely important.

Vitamin B12, for example, promotes mental clarity and energy.*

The best type of it, in our opinion, is methylcobalamin — because it’s naturally-occurring and may be absorbed better by the human body.^15*

But in many B12 supplements, you’ll find cyanocobalamin, a synthetic B12 that your body converts into methylcobalamin — which takes more metabolic “work” to do.

The same goes for many other vitamins, herbs, and minerals — the effect you get depends on the quality and source.*

Second: beware having “too much of a good thing.”

Sunlight is good for you in small amounts, but dangerous in large amounts. Herbal supplements, in particular, follow this same principle.

Take a look at the graph above…. There’s a “goldilocks zone” where the body responds positively to a small dose, and overshooting the mark gives you a reduced response.¹⁶

So when you take bacopa, velvet bean seed, ginkgo, celastrus, and other herbs, you want to be sure you’re in the “hormetic range” — enough for a positive response, but not so much that it backfires.

Third: it’s easy to overshoot the mark when you start combining ingredients.

When you combine citicoline and alpha-GPC, for example, their combined effect is stronger than either on their own: a “1+1=3” situation.

So when you start mixing ingredients, you risk overdoing it and feeling unwanted effects.*

It’s extremely complicated — which is why we recruited the very best doctors, researchers, and formulators to create Qualia Mind.*

We combined the best ingredients for brain performance into one high-quality stack

Science shows us that the right supplements can help you get your clarity back…

But it’s hard to find truly helpful supplements in a sea of cheap imitators. A 2020 study found that most products containing huperzine A, a common brain-health supplement, had dosages that varied wildly from what was on the label — some even had extra ingredients that weren’t listed.¹⁷

We wanted to create the world’s first truly transparent cognitive-health supplement. So we assembled a team of doctors, neuroscientists, and organic chemists to create a brain-health supplement that followed these 4 principles:*

• Only ingredients that have a strong scientific basis for inclusion
• Only the highest-quality version of each ingredient
• Rigorous testing and research to find the ideal dosages and combinations of each
• 100% transparency, so you know exactly what’s in the bottle — no hiding behind “proprietary blends.”

The result: Qualia Mind, a blend of 28 high-purity, biologically-available ingredients that help enhance the four areas of brain performance. These ingredients include the ones we listed above, and many more that synergize with them.*

Science shows that you can find the right amount, the right type, and the right balance of these ingredients to support a brain that works better, for longer, without the drawbacks.*

600,000 bottles later, the results are clear
