A comparative review
Okay so this is a comparative review because I just spent that past two months trying to figure out which supplements are the best to be taking for helping with increasing my focus and productivity at work, and eliminating my procrastination. For starters, I first ordered the Alpha Brain as it came highly recommended to me by a friend who has been taking it for almost a year now. For her, she told me Alpha Brain helped her focus so much that she only took it when she was really on crunch time at work and really needed to increase her focus. After the Alpha BRAIN (30ct) The Flagship Complete Balanced Nootropic Supplement by Onnit Labs, I ordered Addium - Limitless Pill - the Most Powerful Brain Enhancer in the World 60 caps , which is supposed to be like the drug from Limitless (yawn movie) but also has lots of good reviews from both people on Amazon and other sites. Finally, I also purchased NootropX - 90 caps - Mental Focus and Concentration Supplement With Memory Enhancement For Extreme Clarity and Alertness - Instant Brain and Memory Power Boost From Patented AES® Absorption System - The Ultimate Brain Vitaminsbecause I use the same company’s other supplement TranquiliX - 90 Caps #1 Top Rated For Rapid Anxiety and Stress Relief - Pharmaceutical Grade Anti-Anxiety Formula for Relaxation and Stress Reduction With Mood Support & Patented AES® Delivery System for Maximum Absorption, which I’ve been using the past few months and it works like a charm. Anyway, back to my review.
Here are the results I found
Alpha Brain: Gave me great clarity and focus after just a few days, really felt great, but after about ten days of taking them continuously I started getting a bit jittery, which I didn’t like at all.
'Addium: Worked after just a day, saw a difference the next morning after taking them, but they just made me feel more alert rather than focused. I felt a bit “floaty” and had tons of energy, but it wasn’t what I was looking for.
NootropX: Also gave me really great clarity and focus, but didn’t give me any funny feelings in my head. I really liked it, and I found that after about a month, I didn’t need to take one daily anymore to have the same effects.
So all in all, I’ve decided to continue with the NootropX over the Alpha Brain because while they have very similar results, the nootropx doesn’t give me jitters, and I feel a bit more calm on it. Also, this may be completely irrelevant, but if I’m going to be mixing supplements, I like the idea of using two from the same company. At the end of the day, supplements are different for everyone, but I wanted to put this review on the Alpha Brain page because IT DOES WORK, and it does what it’s supposed to do, but with my particular body chemistry it didn’t work out. I’ll still give it a good rating!
