Focus Nootropics are some of the most popular in the industry. Absolute Focus is one of Bright Brain’s most popular supplements, formulated to support enhanced cognitive function and mental clarity. However, some ingredients in some nootropics, such as Absolute Focus have been observed in studies to in extremely rare cases produce feelings of tiredness or sleepiness.
It’s important to note that everyone’s biology is different—just as nootropics vary in their chemical compositions, individuals can react differently to the same ingredients.
For example, if 100 people were to purchase vitamin capsules that contain any type of dairy product:
- 90 people on average would have zero problems using them.
- Four could have issues digesting the vitamins.
- Three might have an allergic reaction.
In the same way, most people who take Absolute Focus never experience any sleepiness, while a tiny fraction (Less than 1%) of users report feeling some fatigue. Below are some possible reasons why.
Potential Role of Choline
Some research points to low choline levels in the body as a potential cause of tiredness or sleepiness when taking certain nootropics [1]. Choline is vital for proper brain function, particularly in the production of neurotransmitters. Insufficient choline intake can sometimes lead to unexpected reactions, including fatigue.
- Integrating a diet rich in choline (e.g., eggs, organ meats) or supplementing choline separately may help address this issue.
Histamine and Fatigue
Another consideration is the role of histamine [2]. Certain ingredients can influence histamine levels, which may affect energy and alertness in some individuals. While this is rare, those who are more sensitive could experience mild drowsiness.
Long-Term Consistency
Many users of Absolute Focus find that the full benefits accumulate over consistent use. It can take time for your body to adjust to new ingredients, so a balanced diet, proper rest, and regular exercise are recommended to optimize the overall nootropic experience.
Recommendation and Call to Action
If tiredness persists, consider assessing your choline intake or consult a professional regarding dietary changes and supplements.
