I checked out Focus Formula by NuLife. It looks to be formulated more as a brain stimulant than a brain nutritional aid. There is a large market of brain stimulants and so called Smart Drugs. None of them can make you smarter. Any increase in brain processing speed will be followed by a need to rest the brain.

No free lunch here.

You wouldn't happen to be a NuLife distributor, would you?

I thought the same thing. His only post is to promote a product. Thankfully, Chemar was prompt to edit the post.

What did it say before?

Hi folks
Generally, we prefer not to have discussion of mod/admin edits on the forum, and it's also a good idea to let new members be checked out by us before jumping to conclusions about them
We would hope this was just an informative post rather than a sales pitch.
Time will tell.........


I had edited the details about this product as they were copy/pasted directly from a website that has copyright.

Understood.

I am not a distributor for NuLife. I was rear-ended in a car accident three years ago. I had a closed head concussion, and developed Post Concussion Syndrome. I didn't get much help from the physicians I consulted. Most didn't believe that I was sick because I look fine, and was still able to work, although at a suboptimal level. I pretty much had to fend for myself, and try different treatments to address my symptoms, and improve my level of functioning.

I had problems with word finding, concentration, attention span and memory. I had great difficulty completing paper work for my job. This was very distressing to me, as I once excelled in this area. I tried a variety of different supplements. Focus Formula was the one that improved my cognitive symptoms, and enabled me to get my work done. I just wanted to share this information in the hopes that it could be of benefit to someone else. I understand what it is like to suffer, and not get the help that you need.

There's actually been quite a few studies showing various Racetam's to be beneficial in healthy individuals/subjects. I personally suffered a mild concussion in the 3rd grade however I hardly believe that it has played a largely important role in regards to my usage of Nootropics.

That is exactly my point. The needs of an injured brain are quite different than those of a healthy brain. Pushing an injured brain could be a problem.

The studies of racetams and other nootropics are anecdotal, not scientific. If they had stronger validation, the pharmaceutical companies would be trying to make a patented copy/analog of them.

Not saying they don't have value. Just the value is unknown in regards to specific brain injuries.

There is several scientific researches regarding Piracetam and several other Nootropics. You can always go to NIH and just use the Nootropics as keywords and see what all sorts of researches you can find done with them. I'd link them here but not sure what the rules are regarding 3rd party website URL's.

Also I wouldn't say I have an injured brain, I highly doubt one mild concussion in 3rd grade constitutes as a long term brain injury but then again I may be wrong.
