Exploring Supplements for Brain Fog, Libido, and Anxiety Relief
This session discusses potential supplements to address brain fog, libido loss, and anxiety, recommending omega-3s, multivitamins, ginseng, and ashwagandha. The importance of consulting a healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen is emphasized.
Supplements for brainfog and libido ?
I have been suffering from brainfog libido loss and anxiety for two years now. Any supplements or strategies to help with this ?
For addressing brain fog, omega-3 fatty acids have been suggested as potentially beneficial. They are known to help reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, thereby supporting cognitive function12. Other supplements like multivitamins, zinc, antioxidants, and probiotics have also shown some benefits for cognitive performance3.
Regarding libido enhancement, while the search didn't yield supplements directly from authoritative sources, some general knowledge draws on traditional substances like ginseng and maca root, which have been commonly acknowledged for their potential benefits in supporting libido.
For anxiety, supplements such as ashwagandha have been studied for their effectiveness in reducing stress and anxiety. Studies show that ashwagandha is generally safe for most individuals and can help improve stress scores and cortisol levels4. Other supplements that are believed to have calming effects include valerian root, lavender, and chamomile5.
For all these supplements, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you are currently on medication or other treatments.
