Mommy Brain Tonic

Changing diapers, round-the-clock feedings, laundry and baby snuggles (not to mention housework, your job, and the rest of your life!) might have your brain working overtime these days. When you have a lot going on, and you add in some sleep deprivation, you might find it hard to focus. If that is the case, try this brain-boosting tonic, full of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients.
