Started recalling names and tackling projects
I'm a 49 year old female CEO of a small company. The past couple of years, I was having fog brain, trouble starting or completing projects. I'd put off more challenging long term projects, mainly because they seemed overwhelming. One particular issue for me has been recalling names of clients or people I'm trying to talk about during a conversation with a third party. I read an article in Time magazine about NAD supplements and had not heard of them before. I started doing some research, ended up reading reviews of the Double Wood supplements and though it was a toss up on which one to try, I tried Pterostilbene.
For me, within a short few days, I felt more alert, focused, and best of all stopped struggling with recall of names(this was giving me social anxiety in advance of functions). I'd always needed a short nap or at least felt like I needed a nap in the afternoon, and that feeling went away as well.
I know this was and isn't a placebo effect. It's been a significant difference in my life and after I ran out, I thought maybe I should try a different supplement. I tried Huperzine-a and for me (I know it works wonders for others) I felt no noticeable difference. Within 3 weeks then issue of recalling names and the anxiety that went with it, followed again (after I ran out of Ptero).
Before reordering my Ptero, I started again, and realize the anti inflammatory effects of Ptero are probably what's doing it for me. Do some research and fog brain is caused by inflammation and it's to be taken very seriously because brain cells die off die to inflammation.
I have now ordered (and subscribed this time) to this supplement.
As far as dosage goes, I was only taking 1 per day. However after reading more about how it works mto legel out blood sugar, and the fact that we have a severe propensity for type II diabetes on my dad's side, I am going to add more milligrams to my daily intake of Ptero and want to see of I can benefit from the blood sugar issue as well. I am pre-diabetic, which makes me excited to have found something to take to control my blood sugar levels as well .
Mainly though for me, I can tell you the difference on versus off Ptero was SIGNIFICANT.
I will even take this supplement with me when I travel.
