Is there a Treatment/Supplement to get rid of brain fog from adrenal fatigue?

[Jane0218]

Brain fog is a real problem.  I know there are supplements for clarity, but I can't find them.  Does anyone know how I can get 'clear' again?  The problems with concentration aren't as scary as this brain fog.
Thanks!

I am talking about Adrenal support capsules not the DHEA ones, I am not certain if you have to speak to a Doctor about every vitamin or supplement you take but however if you are concerned it would be a good thing, as said in my last post, Your question was about supplements and I was giving you the input as I had found my experience to be, I googled it for information before I took them and did my own research ..

  Sherta -  Good point about DHEA.  DHEA is a hormone, and like other hormones, if it's out of balance, even a little, it can cause strong symptoms.
Testing hormone levels should always be done, before taking a supplemental hormone of any kind, and under the supervision of a professional.

You can ask your Doctor but your original question was regarding taking supplements anyway....

Thanks for all the responses.  I'm thinking of trying Adrenal Caps, but not sure if I should do that without a doctor's supervision.

I would NOT be taking DHEA without treating cortisol levels. When the pituitary senses low levels of cortisol and/or DHEA, it puts out ACTH which tells the adrenals to get to work. If you have low functioning adrenals, with a resulting low level of cortisol, adding DHEA is going to completely shut down your ACTH production.  

If you have Hashi's disease, (autoimmune thyroid dysfunction) there's a good chance that you have polyglandular autoimmune syndrome, (PAS occur when the immune system attacks the endocrine glands and cripples hormone production.) but it's really difficult to test for - best to just treat the symptoms of low thyroid and low adrenal output.

As for the brain fog -- Besides staying away from refined foods and exercising regularly, I found that Omega 3 is essential.

Good luck,

Yes  !! I got one from my local health food store and yes it works , its called Adrenal Support Capsules by Soloray but there are other makes, they are not too expensive either ,I have been taking them for about 2 months now and still feel good, they took about 3 days to kick in and I had brain fog and every other kind of fog you can think of, all gone, they lifted my mood completly . Hope you try them and you have the same effect I got.
