I don't think I have posted here in over 2 years! Wonder if any of the same guys are still around? Baldy, Jake Varner, SDF, Mr.X, JennC, Roids, ShakesAllDay, AZFitTrainer, AgnosticFront???

Anyway, I need some help choosing a focus supplement. I know there are lots of younger guys here in college, so I'm sure they have tried everything. I'm 39 and convinced I have a problem focusing...ADD/ADHD, Im not sure??...but I definitely have a problem with my focus. I would prefer not to see a doc and get on Adderall, etc. If you have had good results with a particular supp, please let me know what you use, especially if you have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.

I had tough times studying in college the last four years and was helped by buying lecithin, which is a good source of choline. Mixing that with some Geranamine oil and vinpocetine(sp?), would help my focus tremendously. I find that the right stimulant in low doses can help focus, but there is definitely a threshold on how much stimulant to take before focus turns into too much energy and exascerbates it even more. E-911, when taken at lower dosages is a good form of focus supplementation.

not a supp, but modalert is pretty damn good.

Some Nootropics can help. Do a google on piracetam.

Ginkgo can help but has to be taken for a while to have any effect.

Tried piracetam about a year and a half ago. I can't remember the problem I had with it....I think it made me tired?!!?

I've got some in capsule form Geranamine. I bought 6-8 months ago looking for a cheap energy boost. I really didn't notice anything but perhaps I didn't take them long enough?

I'll look into the other items you guys mentioned after doing a little more research.

Also...I've been reading pretty good things about a supp called Focus Fast. Seems a lot of people like it. But at $50 for a months supply, it would have to really work well for me to justify the expense.

Thats the ingredient profile i found for focus fast. Look pretty decent, but nothing special. You may want to give it a try if the price is right.

I've had pretty good results with Piracetam and a source of Choline.

Dude is a smart shopper.

Good to see ya again, Sir Charles. I don't know much about nootropics, never was something I studied too much. You may try some of the various -racetam supplements. BN doesn't carry much by way of noop's anymore. Checkout SmartPowders.com.

APS Phenadrine. You won't find a negative review on it. Very mellow energy, enhanced focus, very noticeable mood enhacing effect, no crash or jitters.

E-911 is an energy supp, but, I noticed it gives me clarity and focus plus energy. Must be the geranamine...
