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! |

As much as I love the fact that there is a good amount of B-12 in there, what I don't like is the fact there are fake sugars in there which in turn is not good for the brain. I take Stress-B complex which has 500 mcg of B-12 plus Vitamin C. I also take a 5000 mcg supplement of Methylcobalamin B-12. These are great and can be bought from vitamin world.

I have been taking coq10 for about a week now and I like it. I found out about it from a different board, but see if that can work with any other meds you have. It is over the counter and a supplement.
Best to you! JJ

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013. Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines, Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something. Therapy I had: vestibular 3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling. 9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms. I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery. Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired. |
