Yes, Vitamins B6/B12, Vitamin D, Fish Oil, Curcumin, and 5HTP.

Also, I hate to say it, little to no caffeine, no sugar (!), little gluten, and even no dairy for me. These help eliminate brain fog in a major way.

The paleo diet (meats, fish, eggs and veggies) really boosted my brain and energies level along with the vitamins. It's more expensive, but the shift in my brain sharpness has been remarkable.

Best of luck!

Thanks so much for this information, especially about paleo. If I can muster the strength, I want to hit the grocery store this weekend and stock up on good brain food.
