Key Discussions:

While there are no specific "anti-brain fog" medications, anti-inflammatories like NSAIDs, quercetin, bromelain, and fish oil are mentioned as helpful for some individuals. In addition, activated charcoal is highlighted as a top choice for absorbing metabolites that may contribute to brain fog.
