Anybody tried Neo 40 for brain health?
My father bought me this supplement called Neo 40 that supposedly helps with brain health by increasing nitric oxide activity which supposedly increases oxygen to the brain. Helps relieve confusion and increases ability to multi-task. Has anyone tried it? He has taken it and felt a lot of tingling in his head so he believes it works on the blood increasing.
Here are the ingredients:
Vitamin C (as magnesium ascorbate and ascorbic acid)100 mg
Vitamin B12(as methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin)1000 mcg
Proprietary Nitric Oxide Blend for optimal Nitric Oxide activity: Beet Root Powder (root), Hawthorn Berry Extract(berry), L-Citrulline, Sodium Nitrite 420 mg
Other Ingredients: Mannitol, modified cellulose, xylitol, natural orange flavor, magnesium, stearate, Stevia, silica.
Does anyone see any concern with any of these ingredients? I'm a little worried mixing my effexor with something like this. Any thoughts appreciated!
Thanks
CC

I'm a 39 year old, female, accountant. On July 2, 2012 I crashed my bike at the end of a 65KM road ride. I was fine that day but woke up the next morning to my current world.
Ongoing symptoms include: dizziness, blurred vision, light and noise sensitivities, cognitive problems, uncontrollable emotions/depression/anxiety, headaches (but they're getting better), mental and physical fatigue, difficulty communicating and sleep disturbances.
Currently seeing a fabulous Neuro Psychologist and vestibular physiotherapist and hoping to soon see a neuro ophthalmologist. I am currently doing 20 minute stationary bike rides daily, 20 minutes of meditating, 15 minutes of Lumosity and lots of resting. I have not been able to work or drive since the accident.
The things that have helped me the most since the accident are vestibular therapy, gel eye drops (for blurred vision, sensitivity and dryness), amitriptyline (10mg), and meditating. I am finally starting to see some slight improvements and am hopeful!
My brain WANTS to heal itself... I just have to let it and stop trying to get better!
