Avoiding Brain Fog with Provasil

Do you often find yourself in a state of confusion? Are you starting to forget little things - your grocery list, the title of a movie you have recently seen, or your car keys? Are you becoming increasingly fuzzy-headed, unable to think clearly? If you find yourself confused at times and lacking clarity and focus, then you must be suffering brain fog. Having a foggy brain can be frustrating - not to mention scary - which is why Cognetix Labs has come up with Provasil, a supplement that promotes mental agility.

The Foggy Brain

ProvasilBrain fog is a general term that refers to mental confusion that can come in many forms: forgetfulness, inability to focus, lack of clarity and reduced mental acuity. Also known as mental fatigue, brain fog can refer to episodes of mental confusion that can range from the mild to the severe. The worst part is that brain fog strikes without warning. One moment you forget which part of the huge mall parking lot you left your car in; the next you completely fail to remember that you are not supposed to be in the mall because you have a scheduled appointment with your doctor.

While having mental lapses every now and then is normal, you should not take brain fog episodes sitting down. You must get to the root cause and address them before they start taking over your professional and personal life.

What causes brain fog?

There are many factors that contribute to having a foggy brain. Solving your brain fatigue issues starts with knowing exactly what causes it. Here are some of the most common causes:

1. Diet. To function optimally, the brain needs complex carbohydrates, proteins and healthy fats. However, most diets today emphasize low-fat diets with foodstuffs that are supposedly "healthy" but are, indeed, mostly processed and high in sugar. Processed food - full of preservatives like MSG - is the enemy of a healthy and happy brain because these additives contain neurotoxins that cause not just brain fog but also mood swings and anxiety. Brain fog can also be caused by some food allergies and intolerances, mainly from gluten, soy and dairy.

2. Sleep issues. Aside from adequate nutrition, the brain also needs enough sleep and rest to function properly. Not getting enough sleep causes low creativity, inattention and impaired judgment. People naturally lose brain cells every day, and uninterrupted sleep allows the creation of new brain cells. If you are feeling fuzzy and unable to focus, check your sleeping patterns. Your brain might not be getting the amount and quality of sleep it needs.

3. Stress. Stress put a strain on the brain, which in turn causes depression, anxiety, poor decision making, memory loss and even insomnia. High levels of stress can also lead to conditions like Alzheimer's diseases and dementia.

Avoiding Brain Fog with Provasil

Brain fog may be temporary, but it can also persist for years. The condition can be debilitating, so if you are experiencing more and more episodes of haziness, you need to see your doctor so he can rule out dementia and other brain-related illnesses.

You can avoid brain fog through exercise, enough sleep and proper nutrition. However, these alone might not be able to help clear your mind, especially if you are starting to age. Fortunately there's Provasil, a powerful blend of nutrients and herbal extracts that are proven to improve your focus, boost your memory and get your mental ability back in shape.

Who says you have to suffer? Lift that fog with the Provasil formulation and get back into the swing of things.

Naturally Increasing Dopamine Levels: The Brains "Feel Good" Chemical


If you are like me, once the holidays are over, I feel more stressed and tired than usual. There has been an influx of travel, extra tasks and stress at work, RLS symptoms surfacing more than normal, and both of my parents already deteriorating health have taken a turn for the worse lately. I could use a "boost". Something to aid in pushing on and keeping a positive mindset. 

A way to do this is by naturally increasing the dopamine levels in your brain. Dopamine is a "feel good" chemical in your brain, much like the neurotransmitter serotonin. Studies have shown that a depletion of dopamine is linked to depression. Dopamine is normally triggered when you approach and expect a reward or some type of satisfaction. The release of dopamine in the brain provides a 'good feeling' along with a surge of energy, which results in an increase of motivation. 


It is comforting to know that one can work on improving their mood and life without having to automatically see a doctor and get prescribed medication. Sometimes all we need is that extra "boost". There are different types food that naturally help dopamine levels when consumed plus everyday actions that you can do for yourself to help along the way. I know more sleep is absolutely something I need to make a priority. Then there are natural supplements that can be purchased on Amazon or local drug stores. As usual, consult your doctor or pharmacist before purchasing anything to ensure that it would not interfere with any medication you may be on now. 

Tyrosine forms DOPA, which is then converted to dopamine, and this, in turn, forms norepinephrine, another neurotransmitter related to mood. By supporting the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine, L-tyrosine supplements can improve emotional well-being, sleep, mood, and cognitive/mental function, especially under situations involving environmental and emotional stress. 

Mucuna pruriens, commonly known as "velvet bean", naturally contains upwards of 5% L-Dopa (levodopa). L-DOPA is the same biochemical that is made in humans from the amino acid L-tyrosine and is then integrated into dopamine. 

L-theanine is an amino acid uniquely found in green tea that creates a state of alterted relaxation, meaning there is no drowsiness. L-theanine is known to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier and increase dopamine levels in the brain.

Rhodiola is something a few of friends have said they consume and believe it helps. It is a popular plant in Eastern Europe and Asia, with a reputation for improving depression, enhancing work performance, eliminating fatigue and treating stress symptoms. 

These are suggestions and tips anyone could benefit from on a daily basis. Sometimes we all need that extra "push" especially with it being a brand new year!
