70% of menopausal women say they have brain fog, with over half (52.4%) stating they experience memory loss, according to a survey of 40,000 women.
The survey, conducted by menopause experts Issviva guided the creation of NEW Focus Food Supplement, developed to improve your brain function, cognitive function and regulate hormonal activity.
“Almost every menopausal woman I treat in my NHS clinics and medical practice complain of having brain fog”, says GP and menopause expert Dr Aarthi Sinha. “This affects general wellbeing, performance at work and relationships, so a supplement that can help with this would really make a difference.”
Issviva’s Focus Food Supplements are delicious mixed-berry flavour gummies, packed with vitamins and minerals to help you think more clearly.
“The supplement contains iron”, says Dr Aarthi. “This is really important as menopausal women can often have irregular or heavy periods leading to iron deficiency. It also contains essential vitamins such as Vitamin B6 and B12 that are key for good brain and nerve function.”
“If you are going through the menopause, I recommend including Omega 3 in your diet,” says Dr Aarthi. “It is essential for brain function. The Focus supplement also contain a favourite ingredient of mine as an aesthetic practitioner, vitamin A! This is great for your skin. Vitamin E and Niacin also contribute to healthy skin and good cellular function in the body.”
Issviva’s Focus Food supplement (£14.99 for a month’s supply) contains:
