Frequently Asked Questions
FANCL Brains combines Bacopa with Matured Hop Bitter Acids for a dual-action approach that supports both memory and attention - the two main cognitive functions affected by brain fog.
FANCL Brains stands out because it's plant-based, additive-free, and classified as a 'Food with Function Claims' in Japan - meaning its benefits are backed by scientific evidence.
These are the two key cognitive functions that contribute to brain fog symptoms when they decline.
Some users notice improved mental clarity within 2-3 weeks, but full memory and attention benefits typically develop over 2-3 months. Consistency is key - take 4 tablets daily for best results.
This helps you feel calmer and more mentally balanced when facing everyday stressors.
Research suggests Bacopa helps with information processing, learning, and recall. Unlike stimulants, it works gradually to support long-term brain health rather than providing temporary focus.
As a publicly-traded company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, FANCL maintains rigorous quality standards. Their 'Food with Function Claims' products must submit scientific evidence to Japanese regulators.
FANCL Brains offers a convenient, plant-based way to supplement your natural cognitive support routine with clinically-studied ingredients.
