Memory Boosting FAQ

Q: How can 'smart drugs' (or nootropics) support a healthy memory?

Memory is one of the most fundamental yet complex functions performed by the human brain. Some form of memory is involved in every aspect of our life, but unfortunately, memory starts to decline as we age. Luckily, natural supplements (AKA nootropics) can support both short and long-term memory to help minimize decline caused by the aging process.

Nootropics are supplements containing natural ingredients that can enhance cognitive energy and abilities. Your health goals will determine which supplement you choose. The combination, potency, standardization and quality of the ingredients contained within the supplement are fundamental for efficacy and safety. A top-quality supplement has been positively associated with improving memory and concentration, increasing focus and clarity, enhancing learning and motivation, lengthening the attention span, boosting energy and elevating task performance.

Q: Do all memory boosting supplements work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects.

Q: What should I look for?

• It should contain B Vitamins to nourish and protect the brain.
• It should contain a source of choline such as alpha-GPC to combat cognitive decline.
• It should contain Lion's Mane adaptogenic mushroom which helps reduce symptoms of memory loss.
• It should contain Bacopa monnieri for improving memory, focus and clarity.
• It should contain phosphatidylserine to support neuroplasticity.
• It should contain ginkgo biloba to increase cerebral blood flow.
• It should contain a powerful antioxidant such as green tea to help prevent free radical damage to the brain.
• It should contain a thermogenic enhancer such as BioPerine® to boost results.
• It should be all natural and contain no stimulants.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any negative interactions between the ingredients we researched for enhancing memory and other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a doctor if you have a pre-existing medical condition or take medications on a regular basis. Also, pregnant or nursing women are advised not to take any supplements without a doctor’s approval.

Q: How do I take a memory boosting supplement?

Follow the manufacturers guidelines. In general, most manufacturers suggest taking 2 tablets a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. As with any type of supplement, you should not exceed the daily dosage, since this can pose health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported feeling immediate benefits. For others, it took longer to experience the full effects. Results seem to be a bit different for each person but most people will experience results within a short period of time. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any time frame.

Q: How much do memory boosting products cost?

The cost varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the trend. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often fail to contain clinically proven ingredients. Additionally, they may boast a high count of tablets per bottle but the ingredient dosage is so low that you need to take more than two tablets a day which reduces the one-month supply to, in some cases, two weeks!

Q: What’s the best memory boosting supplement to buy?

Each person will see different results with different products, so it’s hard to say offhand which is the best. However, we particularly liked Research Verified Memory Booster. We found it to be the best of the 40+ products we researched, based on the product quality, customer feedback, and the company’s customer service.

You can experiment to see which product is right for you, but if you’re looking for a well-reviewed product you can count on, we think you’ll love Research Verified Memory Booster - a high-quality product at a fair price.
