Some studies suggest there is a significant change/improvement in certain cognitive functions with the substances mentioned above, whereas some studies suggest there is little to no difference between the control and placebo groups.

In terms of these herbs/chemicals working it's still kind of in the grey zone. L-Alpha GlycerylPhosphorylCholine (Alpha GPC) You can get the ingredients separately elsewhere for cheaper also.

Onnit markets their products as amazing life-changing substances, but in reality they're just supplements, not NZT. I would definitely recommend to try it, but I really think that Onnit's products are far too expensive for what they're worth. The positive effects of other factors they are not including.Īlongside that, everybody has their own unique biochemistry. I conclude that Alpha Brain may certainly be beneficial, though one must take into consideration that anyone who tells you they experience positive effects may be experiencing: Given the optimal nurturing environment, your brain could very well begin to thrive and better itself. I mean, neuroplasticity and neurogenesis are things. However, I'm open to the idea that Alpha Brain does add to your current maximum faculties. So, it's not like I'm gaining intelligence from taking Alpha Brain, it's that I'm regaining it. Cannabis in specific made my memory fall and my mind became foggy (no pun intended). I began using drugs for a short period of time, which affected certain parts of my mind. I do feel like my cognition has enhanced since taking it, but I'm not necessarily 20 IQ points higher than what I was before.Īlongside that, please note that I was like how I feel now a few years ago. Hypothetically, if Alpha Brain did all of this, does that mean it made me smarter? Of course, that's not to say that the vitamins, minerals, herbs, and any other chemicals in Alpha Brain are not contributing to my increase in overall mental wellbeing. I'm sure you're not interested in reading about all the positive changes in my life, but it is important to include the fact that I have had other changes that more than likely contributed positively to my mental health.

I use anxiety-reducing breathing techniques more often now. I started drinking 2-4 litres of water a day. I have been eating more eggs to increase choline intake. The frequency at which I experience vivd/lucid dreams depends on the time of the month for me, and so does my memory sometimes. The weather is better approaching Summer. I'm trying to become more involved in my life and more focused. Are they due to Alpha Brain? Questionable.Īside from Alpha Brain, there have been other factors in my life that could have easily contributed to these changes: So are all of these changes in my brain placebo? Definitely not. I have been having more vivid dreams upon starting taking Alpha Brain, but I have also had them beforehand. Vivid/lucid dreams are included as benefits of Alpha Brain, but honestly I'm not so sure. I feel more sharp and clear, and I'm beginning to have 'wake up' moments from being depersonalized/dissociated a small bit more. I can better focus on text (especially long and heavy reading) and divert all my attention to it. I also seem to have an improved verbal memory and I am more articulate. I'm just surprised at how I can remember things from just seeing them once sometimes. They haven't fully gone, but have diminished in volume greatly. I have anxiety and quite a few fears, which have all lessened. Please note that I wasn't always like this (only for about two years before I started taking Alpha Brain), so it could very well be an individual experience. Now I need a little bit more activity in my day. I used to not have any interest in being involved in any activities other than sitting around all day and scrolling through Facebook. I am a little bit more motivated to getting my school work done and to actually being engaged in my life. I have been taking 3-4 capsules daily (though it says on the packaging that more than 3 a day is not recommended) and here are the changes I have experienced since that time: I started taking it that day.Īt first, I thought that perhaps it could be a scam, or just not very effective. I ordered a 90 capsule box of Onnit's Alpha Brain about three weeks ago, and received it on the 29th of March.
