This supplement is a ‘game changer’ for brain fog, forgetfulness and mental exhaustion

You’re watching your waistline, lifting weights and maybe even counting every step, but when was the last time you did something for your brain?

A supplement is making waves in the wellness world for its ability to boost cognitive function — and potentially help keep it sharp as you age.

For women, there’s an added bonus: It might make the so-called “change of life” a little easier, too.

What is Cognizin?

It’s the branded dietary supplement made from citicoline, a natural compound your body produces that’s vital for brain health and function, according to Healthline.

Citicoline helps form the membranes around brain cells and supports brain metabolism. It also boosts neurotransmitter levels in the central nervous system, protecting and powering your brain.

What are the benefits of Cognizin?

The supplement is part of a broad group of substances called nootropics, which some people use to sharpen thinking, memory and overall brain function.

Cognizin was a “game-changer” for Emma Heming Willis, co-founder of Make Time Wellness, who told The Post: “It’s science-backed support for your brain.”

In a study of healthy, middle-aged women, those taking the daily supplement experienced clear improvements in focus and cognitive control. They also performed better on mental tests and made fewer mistakes than those on a placebo.

“Women in the study saw a difference in just under a month, and I have had a similar experience,” said Heming Willis, whose husband is actor Bruce Willis. 

“What really stood out to me is how it helps with the issues many of us face as we age — brain fog, forgetfulness and feeling mentally drained,” she added.

Studies have also found that regularly consuming Cognizin may help protect against memory loss due to aging, as well as improve recall in older adults.

That’s especially important for women, who are at a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia during their lifetime.

Who should be taking Cognizin?

“Cognizin is great for any woman who wants to stay sharp, focused, and mentally energized especially during super busy times in life — which, for me, is every day,” Helen Christioni, co-founder of Make Time Wellness, told The Post.

It can also potentially help with some of the cognitive symptoms associated with the menopause transition.

“When hormones start to shift, it can mess with how our brains work,” Christioni explained, noting that brain fog, mood swings, forgetfulness and mental fatigue tend become more common.

“It’s like giving your brain a little backup during a time when everything else feels out of balance,” she added.

But women aren’t the only ones who could gain from taking the supplement. 

“Anyone that is dealing with burnout, wants to support brain health or just wants a little extra clarity can benefit from Cognizin,” Christioni said. 

Where can you get Cognizin?

You can buy Cognizin on its own online and in stores, but it’s also a key ingredient in Make Time Wellness’s Make Time for Brain and Beauty gummy and their Make Time for Brain, Body & Beauty powder.

These supplements also pack in biotin, which supports hair, nails and skin, along with curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.

“Curcumin is one of my favorite ingredients in the Brain, Body & Beauty formula,” Heming Willis said. “But what really makes this formula stand out is that it combines everything I was tired of taking separately.”

Think: choking down a handful of pills every morning, from brain boosting supplements to multivitamins.

“That’s why we created this as a delicious daily drink that covers all your bases,” Heming Willis said. “It’s kind of like a grown-up version of a natural Tang, made just for women.”
