Caution – possibility of BRAIN FOG
I really don't know what to say here. It's not really the fault of the product. My doctor wants me on statins and I said no.

Then I got some that was 'made without Niacin' and it started again. I read the ingredients and it had trace amounts of niacin and different than niacin free. Anyway, so when I found that brain fog could be a symptom of statins, I decided to try and find something else. If you've never had brain fog before, at least for me, it is really scarey. I mean seriously I was forgetting my kids name, we all at times refer to the wrong child, etc. but this is I'd be looking at one and about to say, "oh, your sister (pause), (pause)" and I couldn't think of her name. I went to the supermarket to get cheese for dinner and forgot what I was there for. I found this thought it would be perfect, and a couple of weeks later I was forgetting my kids names. I did a little bit more research and found a possible side effect being 'brain fog.' I stopped taking it and it cleared up. But, this raised a stupid question in my head.
