His name was…We were at…Let me think… Shoot, I can’t remember. Have you been struggling to find the right word? If so, new research suggests that you are likely one of ~93% of people with Long Covid who can’t find the right word, or who forget what they wanted to say.
The newly published research entitled “Long COVID: The impact on language and cognition” published in the Journal Language & Health, involved a survey of 973 adults with Long Covid, with follow up testing on 101 subjects in an attempt to better classify and understand the catch-all label of Brain Fog.
What the research determined is that Long Covid is causing “Cognitive-communication disorders… familiar to speech-language pathologists, particularly those clinicians who assess and treat adults with conditions like traumatic brain injury (TBI), right-hemisphere damage (RHD), and neurodegenerative disease (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). Adults with these conditions have been noted to communicate less adequately than their structural language skills in phonology, syntax and semantics would predict.”
For those with more severe symptoms the research suggests working with a speech language pathologist. You can read the full study here:

At CVD Labs, having ourselves dealt with post infection Brain Fog, and forgetting the right word, formulated the Brain Variant with multiple nootropic ingredients - each tested clinically - specifically on tasks like short-term memory and cognitive function. We believe it to be the most complete supplement stack on the market to help you….find the right word.
