Update 8/29/19. Will Procera AVH improve your memory or is it a scam? It's been several years since I first reviewed this memory support supplement and I thought it deserved a second look. This is an updated and expanded Procera review. As always, the research will be our guide. To make it easier to find the info you need quickly, I've divided this review into several questions about this supplement. Does Procera really work? See the evidence. You decide.
1 What Is Procera AVH?
Procera is not a drug. It is an over-the counter-dietary supplement said to help to improve memory. No prescription is required for this supplement. The website of the supplement makes this very clear but I wanted to say it again because the name Procera sounded like a drug to me.
2 How Does Procera Work?
The supplement is said to work by improving blood flow to the brain. This increases the oxygen flow to the brain too. The supplement is also touted to work by helping to restore “key neuro-transmitters with vital nutrients for a sharper, quicker mind.”
Let's next look at the Procera research.
3 Procera Research
This brain enhancer supplement does have a study to support its use. The investigation was published in 2009 and is titled “A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Examining the Effects of a Combination Nutraceutical Formula on Cognitive Functioning and Mood.”
Here's a summary of the study and its results:
Study Summary
A 30-day investigation involving 74 people. The average age of the people was 48. So, they were not “old.” The study was conducted at the Brain Science Institute located at Swinburne University in Australia.
For 30 days people received either a placebo or 1515 mg of the memory supplement. Various memory tests were conducted on each group.
Study Results
After 30 days, people taking Procera AVH showed significant improvements in some memory tests. In other tests, they didn't. Areas where people showed significant improvements included:
- Less anger/hostility
- Faster word recognition
- Longer ability to remember numbers
- Better mood
This supplement used to tout it could improve memory in 30 days.
Study Problems
The study sounds pretty impressive. But, after reading it, I noticed a few potential problems:
- The study only lasted 30 days. I would have preferred the study last 3-6 months at least.
- The people were young. The average age of people in the study was 48. Just because people in their 40s may have seen improvements does not mean someone in their 80s would too.
As an aside, the study was published in the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association (JANA). This is not the same thing as the JAMA – the Journal of the American Medication Association.
The AVH supplement was donated by 20/20 Brain Power Partners LLC in Laguna Beach CA. This company is called the “founders of Brain Research Labs now called Key View Labs.” 20/20 Brain Power Partners also covered 50% of the cost of the study. There is nothing wrong with this. I'm glad when a company supports research on their supplements.
There is no evidence this supplement helps people with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
4 Procera AVH Ingredients
Now let's look at the ingredients in this supplement. It's called “AVH” because this refers to the 3 key ingredients. They are:
- Acetyl-l-carnitine
- Vinpocetine
- Huperzine A
From the label, the supplement contains the most acetly-L-carnitine and the least huperzine A.
Taking 3 capsules per day provides 1515 mg of these ingredients. This was the amount used in the Procera study.
Let's now look at the ingredients in the supplement.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
We make acetyl L carnitine and it's found in foods like red meat. The molecule also “looks” like the brain chemical acetylcholine. Several studies have shown acetyl L carnitine may help older adults with memory issues. Other research hints this compound might improve both mental and physical fatigue.
Other research hints acetyl L carnitine may help depression in older adults as well. The amounts used in research appear to be roughly 1- 2 grams per day.
People with slow-acting thyroids (hypothyroidism) should use caution with acetyl l carnitine because it appears to inhibit the action of thyroid hormone. While there appears to be little proof that acetyl L carnitine may increase the risk of seizures, those with seizure disorders should talk to their doctor first.
Vinpocetine
In some countries, this is sold by prescription. Another name for is Cavinton. Some older research hints that vinpocetine may increase blood flow to the brain by opening up blood vessels. Vinpocetine may also help memory in healthy people.
Use vinpocetine with caution if you are taking blood thinner drugs. Vinpocetine appears to have a blood-thinning effectct.
Like all supplements, always investigate companies you do business with. In this 2015 investigation, about 25% of supplements clamming to contain vinpocetine did not actually contain it. This study did not specifically mention the names of the supplements they tested.
Huperzine A
Several studies, mostly conducted in China, show that huperzine helps dementia. Huperzine A inhibits acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine. As such, it will raise levels of acetylcholine in the brain. Because it can raise acetylcholine levels, Huperzine A side effects may range from elevated blood pressure and muscle cramps, vomiting, sweating, seizures, and blurry vision.
Huperzine might also lower heart rate so it may – in theory – interact with some heart meds (like Beta Blockers). This is just my opinion and I'm not a doctor, but I felt it should be mentioned.

for more information
5 How Long Will A Bottle Last?
It's recommended to take 3 capsules per day. A bottle has 20 servings (60 capsules). This means a bottle will last only 20 days – less than 1 month. Some bottles contain 90 capsules.
6 Buy Procera
So who sells Procera? This supplement has been around a long time and can be found at many familiar stores like Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart.
7 Procera Cost
When buying from the company website, a bottle can be purchased for $35.99 (it was $59.95 originally). Shipping is included.
8 The Procera Lawsuit
The website TopClassActions.com lists details on a Procera lawsuit (O'Brien, et al. v. Brain Research Labs, LLC).
On July 8, 2015, the makers of Procera AVH agreed to pay 1.4 million dollars in response to charges made by the Federal Trade Commission (FCT) regarding deceptive advertising of Procera AVH. For more information, Click Here to read the FTC Press lease.
9 The Procera Infomercial
The first time I saw the supplement advertised was on TV was during a 30 minute infomercial. While the infomercial might no longer air on TV, here is some info on hosts and guests for those who are doing their own research.
Patrice King Brown
When the product originally aired on TV, the 30 minute infomercial was called “Stop Memory Loss.” This new Procera infomercial featured a host named Patrice King Brown. She was listed who was listed as “an award winning investigative reporter.”
Patrice King Brown was a news anchor in Pittsburgh on TV station KDKA, where she has worked since 1978. In January 2011 she announced her retirement from KDKA. Her last day as a news anchor was January 28, 2011.
Patrice King Brown is married to Dr. Paul Nemiroff Ph.D., MD, who also appeared the original Procera AVH infomercial.
At one point during the infomercial, Dr. Nemiroff showed an illustration of two brains – “before” and “after” pictures which give the impression of what's supposed to happen before and after using this supplement.
At the end of the infomercial, it says “Dr. Nemiroff is a medical doctor and is partially compensated from sales of this product.”
Here is another commercial
Josh Reynolds
Josh Reynolds is the co-founder of the company that makes Procera – Key View Labs (Brain Research Labs). The infomercial stated Josh Reynolds is a brain scientist researcher and author as well as a pioneer in the study and science of the brain and cognitive performance.
His linked in profile states he is the inverter of the “Mood Ring” as well as the ThighMaster. He's also the inventor of the Procera memory support supplement too. Mr. Reynolds is the author of the book 20/20 Brain Power and 20/20 Brain Power Recipes
Dr. Gene Steiner
Dr. Gene Steiner (also called Eugene Steiner) also originally appeared on the infomercial. During an infomercial, Dr. Steiner says, “As a pharmacist, I've always felt helpless in recommending a solution for memory loss.” As an aside, there is a lot of research on the benefits of exercise on memory and brain function and reducing the risk of senility – including the risk of Alzheimer's.
10 The Other Infomercial
In June of 2014, I saw another TV infomercial for this supplement. This one was simply titled “Surgeon General Candidate” where it was hinted that people could “regain memory speed to the level of those up to 15 years younger.” Procera was touted as a “clinically tested, prescription free memory breakthrough.”
The infomercial featured a talk show-looking host seated in front of red blinking lights, which reminded me of the computers on old sci-fi TV shows like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Lost in Space. I was confused why they would title the infomercial “Surgeon General Candidate” until it was mentioned Paul Nemiroff was once a candidate for US Surgeon General.
In addition to Paul Nemiroff and Gene Steiner, this infomercial also featured Stephen Coles, MD, Ph.D. Stephen Coles MD, Ph.D. is a real scientist who studies aging. His website is the Gerontology Research Group. Procera is not mentioned on this website. While Dr. Cole has taught at Stanford and UC Berkley, the infomercial also stated -in small print: “Stanford and UCLA neither endorses or are affiliated with Procera AVH.”
11. Other Procera Supplements
There are several other memory support supplements featured on the supplement's website. How do they compare to each other? Here is a quick overview of them:
- Procera Memory Support
- Procera Advanced Brain
- Procera XTF Extreme Focus
| Procera AVH | Memory Support | Advanced Brain | Procera XTF |
| Acetyl L Carnitine | Ginkgo biloba | Vit B1 | Vit B3 |
| Vinpocetine | Panax ginseng | Vit B2 | Vit BV6 |
| Huperzine A | Vit B3 | Pantothenic acid | |
| Vit B6 | Procera AVH | ||
| Folate | Rhodiola Rosea | ||
| Vit B12 | caffeine | ||
| Pantothenic acid | green coffee | ||
| Zinc | |||
| Panax Ginseng | |||
| Gingko Biloba | |||
| Ashwagandha | |||
| Rhodiola Rosea | |||
| Phosphatidylserine |
Looking at these 4 supplements side-by-side, it might be easy to conclude Procera Advanced Brain supplement would be the best because it has the most ingredients. But the research study did not involve any of these other supplements.
There is no proof Procera AVH works better when combined with these other memory supplements. Also notice the Extreme Focus supplement contains Procera AVH, albeit in a smaller dosage (758 mg). The Extreme Focus supplement also contains caffeine as well as green coffee extract.
See the Green Coffee Review
There is some evidence Rhodiola Rosea might help depression, anxiety, and fatigue.
Here's rhodiola rosea on Amazon
12 How To Take Procera
The company says to use 3 capsules per day with food, preferably something containing some fat (like nuts). Take all 3 capsules at the same time. You don't have to take them with a full meal. Even a snack will do. The fat in the food you eat may help improve the absorption of the ingredients.
Prewcera Vs. The competition
So how good is Procera compared to other memory supplements? Here's how it compares to two major competing supplements.
13 Procera Vs. Prevagen
Prevagen is another VERY popular memory supplement. It contains an extract from jellyfish said to improve memory. While it differs greatly from Procera, it also has a clinical study. There are no studies comparing these two supplements to each other.
14 Procera vs. Nerium EHT
One of the most unique memory support supplements is Nerium EHT. The key ingredient in Nerium is a compound from coffee called EHT which does have some studies behind it. While neither supplement has been clinically compared to each other, both contain huperzine A as an ingredient.
15 Who Makes Procera AVH?
The company is called Key View Labs. For former name was Brain Research Labs. The original name of the company was Brain Power Partners LLC. The website is ProceraHealth.com. Key View Lbs is located at 5737 Benjamin Center Dr Tampa, FL 33634-5293. This address is a corporate center.
16 Contact Key View Labs
Customer Service can be reached at 800-214-8112. Other contact # listed with the Better Business Bureau include
- (800) 213-4101
- (800) 530-0296
17 Better Business Bureau Ratings
The BBB rating for Key View Labs “A+” Key View Labs has been in business since 2012. The BBB rating has improved since this review was originally created. See the BBB for more information and updates.
Another, older name for the company was Brain Research Labs. While that name appears to no longer be used, here is the BBB file for Brain Research Labs.
18 Procera AVH Side Effects
While the Procera research study revealed no side effects, that investigation only lasted 30 days and involved relatively healthy people. As such, speak to your doctor and pharmacist first if you are not “healthy.” Here are a few things to consider when you take this supplement. This list is not complete:
- Start with less than suggested for the first week to see how you respond
- Speak to your doctor /pharmacist first if you have dementia or take dementia meds.
- Stop taking Procera at least 2 weeks before having surgery.
- Talk to your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Acetyl L Carnitine might have a blood thinner effect, so it may interfere with blood thinner drugs. It might also lower thyroid hormone levels and cause seizures in people who have seizure disorders.
- Vinpocetine appears to have a blood thinner effect.
- Huperzine A might increase blood pressure and interfere with high blood pressure medications. Huperzine might slow heart rate, increase seizures in some people and worsen conditions like emphysema, asthma and other forms of COPD.
19 Any Stimulants?
There are no stimulants like caffeine or guarana in the AVH supplement.
20 Can Students Take It?
There is no clinical evidence Procera AVH will help college students study longer or perform better on college exams. Remember, the study involved people in their 40s. It would take research on younger folks to see if the supplement helps younger people too.
21 Is It Available Outside The US
It appears the supplement is only shipped within the US as well as Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands. Currently, it does not appear to be sold in Canada. Canadians should call the company for more information.
22 What Is Procera Protect?
This is the new name for the memory supplement called Ceraplex. This name is still mentioned on bottles of this supplement. See the Ceraplex review.
23 Procera Guarantee
You have 30 days to return unopened supplements. The guarantee does not include opened or partially used supplements. Remember the 30 days start when it is shipped to you – not when it arrives. When you return Procera, the company will refund the purchase price minus shipping/handling.
There is no restocking fee when returning supplements (unless you refuse shipments and then there is a restocking fee of $14.95) Before returning, call the company at 1-800-213-4101 to get specifics on how to do this.
24 How To Return Procera AVH

25 Does Procera AVH Work?
Overall, the ingredients in Procera seem logical and so it's possible some people might notice memory improvements. But, more research is needed to know for sure. The supplement appears to only have 1 study showing it works. That's not much given how long this product has been around.
I remember a story in my pharmacology class WAAAAAAYYYY back when Noah was just getting the animals off the ark–
“A man in a white coat, selling special Brain Booster pills in little jars, told a farmer that these supplements were guaranteed to make him smarter, that they contained only high quality organic ingredients made from naturally grown herbs and plants.
The farmer bought a bottle of the pills for $10, went home and poured out a few in his hand, and looked at them. He then went back to the salesman, and yelled, “You sold me these yesterday, and when I looked at them, they were just goat turds! So prove to me that they can work!”
The salesman smiled, and said, “See? you’re getting smarter already.”
I teach journalism and debate in secondary schools. Tonight I read the Procera half-page ad in a newspaper and, as I was in the process of writing lesson plans, decided to include this ad in my lessons about validating and checking sources for credibility.
I had already begun checking UCLA for lists of professor emeritus, and the Board of Medical Examiners for license for Dr. Heller…nothing came up. I was poking a bit on Steiner and then Reynolds when I found your post.
I am sharing what you did, who you contacted, and the process by which you laid open more questions about the claims of these individuals. Do you have any suggestions for further digging?
Mrs U, one of my questions about Brain Research Labs is that they list different addresses depending on what product we talk about . For Procera, they list 325 SMITH STREET, Murfreesboro, TN 37128.
But, when I reviewed their other product, Ceraplex, they list an address of 12002 N. Riverwood Dr. Spokane, WA 99218.
On the BBB website, they list “their address” as 15820 Euclid Ave, Chino, CA 91708. This is the address of a totally different company.
I’d like to know how they can do this.
Glad you were able to find me and happy flattered to be included in you lesson plan.
Joe,
Thank you so much for your research. I saw an ad in my local paper (half page) promoting Procera AVH and was curious. So I goggled it and thankfully found your research relatively easy. At age 60 I’m always looking for ways to stay healthy in body and mind. I agree that exercise is the way to go. Keep up the great work, and thank you for alerting all of inconsistencies in the research… Much appreciated.
Marylyn, glad to help and also glad to hear my review of Procera showed up easily too 🙂
I just finished watching the commercial and was convinced that “PoceraAVH” will help my slight forgetfulness, and was going to call to order, but I’ve decided to do some research about this product. Thank you for your hard work! I guess it’s better to stick with my daily routine, working out and healthy diet.
Well, I did find the issue of “JANA” that reported this miracle:
http://www.ana-jana.org/Journal/journals/JANAVol12N13.pdf
It turns out to be the Journal of the American Nutriceutical [!?] Assn, which I never heard of before, never found a reference to, and I bet you haven’t either. I cannot explain why a respected researcher like Con K. Stough would write such an article …. and maybe he didn’t know that his name was attached to this!
By the way, the main huckster for this is Paul Nemiroff, MD, PhD, etc., who claims that he was (or is) a (or The) Surgeon General Candidate (he seems never to provide a date or the name of the President who thought that highly of him). That claim seems to come solely from his own imagination. He was a surgeon who shifted into becoming a TV doctor – dumbing down medical news on the TV news shows.
He’s gotten a whole shitload of media awards, including a 2003 media award, for explaining/alerting the public to various health issues, and he might have been invited to the White House in connection with one or more of those awards, but no news clipping in the Dialog database even hints that he was being considered for S.G.
A few years ago he started working for a Pittsburgh TV station, married the principal female news reader there, she retired a couple of years ago and now shows up pitching merchandise on QVC and he seems to have pretty much done something similar.
Bernard, yes, I have heard of JANA and I appreciate you showing this link! I will read it 🙂
This is an amazing resource. I couldn’t help but research this after the ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer as it sounded like something everyone would want and I had never heard of it. We need more thoughtful individuals like you who do investigative no biased work to save desperate people from deceptive scams. Thank you!
Thanks A Physician, thats very nice of you to say.
There was a full page ad for Procera AVH in my local newspaper. I was skeptical and I am glad that my search turned up this web site.
Looking up Dr Paul Nemiroff, I see he is also hawking a pain cream called joint formula 88. He claims he was invited to the White House, and considered for appointment as US Surgeon General. This claim was also made in the Procera ad.
http://jointformula88.com/faq/about-dr-paul-nemiroff/
Eric, thanks for the heads up. I looked up joint formula 88 and it looks like a ben gay /sports cream type product. it has Camphor which will temporary replace feelings of pain with feelings of coolness. It has other things like antioxidants but i dont know if they would be absorbed through the skin or do anything.
Thank you so much for your thorough research. A lot of people don’t think about checking LinkedIn and Wikipedia to find information out about people involved in selling this stuff. My Dad just handed me these bottles one of Procera AVH and the other is Ceraplex. I guess my Mom saw them on TV and asked my Dad to order them.
My Mom believes anything she sees on TV, I am just the opposite, I am very leery of anything that is an infomercial. My Mom is 76 and has very many health issues; Lupus; Sjogrens; Arthritis; COPD, and possibly Congestive heart failure. She weighs about 90 lbs and is so very fragile.
The only thing is she has an awesome memory LOL better than mine at times. I will for sure tell her about your research. So glad to find your website. I book marked it for future reference.
Teresa, glad you found me and happy I was able to help : )
neat website by the way!
I feel these types of supplements with their unproven results shouldn’t be allowed on TV. It takes advantage of our elderly who believe what they see on TV is true. It’s more like false advertising as you say there is no real proof of what they say the supplement can do. Plus the hardcore salesmanship and customer service is sickening and again they work on those who are elderly.
Thanks! I am so happy I found your excellent reports. I had scientific training in the 1940’s (Hunter College & Johns Hopkins School of Nursing) so am sceptical of ads promising Nirvana. Your work decided me not to try Procera AVH. I’m 89 & wish my memory was better, but do puzzles play competitive bridge, & swim, so now I’ll just keep on “truckin’.”
Ruth, glad you found me. Basic, scientific thinking/training doesn’t change much from the 40s to today (esp with the quality of where you went to school!) so I say your doing pretty well. It sounds like you have your mental and physical bases covered so I say definitely keep on truckin 🙂
Hi Guys,
My husband and I saw the procera commercial last night too. It sounded interestingly similar to “Protandim” which is what Montel Williams uses to help his MS symptoms.
Videos about it at http://www.youtube.com/protandimantiaging
There are about 8 peer reviewed studies on http://www.pubmed.gov (search Protandim) on this product (not just the ingredients). This IS a product I take and do distribute – full disclosure – but I thought you’d like to know about something that DOES have scientific research that stands behind its claims.
It’s helped my memory, my joints and has given me a gentle feeling of better well-being. Good luck to all of us. 🙂 PS: I need to “take” more exercise too. 🙂
What do you think about the product BrainAlert?
Have you done any research on that one? They say its better than Procera/
Valerie. BrainAlert has a LOT of stuff including all 3 of the ingredients in Procera. I saw no published research on their reseach to say it works or is better than anything.
I saw the infomercial and liked that it wasn’t theusual “But Wait!” type. Researched it online, compared ingredients to other brain/memory supplements. Bought a bottle at GNC and got a great deal on a bottle of 180 on ebay. ALL infomercials try to get you into auto refills and the purchaser is responsible for reading the fine print, keeping records, canceling the order on time. I don’t buy from infomercials but use the info to research and find the best source. Amazon usually offers lower price products and you don’t have to buy multiples.
I had debilitating brain fog, memory issues, and was feeling depressed.
My mother had Alzheimer’s and I was becoming very concerned that dementia was taking over my life. After one dose (only take 2 a day) the fog lifted and I felt alert, motivated, focused and energized. I’ve been on it about ten days and it continues to be a miracle. I did notice that my blood pressure had dropped and my online research shows that Hupezine can cause that.
I’ve been taking BP lowering meds for years so maybe I can stop the drugs and have a normal pressure. I may try some other similar products just to compare results but so far I plan on taking Procera regularly. I sleep deeply, wake refreshed and ready and go, don’t have that ‘bricks in the head’ feeling at all, and feel calm and happy.
Hi Joe and everybody! My wish is simple, I do not see why people like Joe, especially YOU, Joe, do not go for researching to cure people or go straight to Medical School to really do a good job. You are an amazing man, you do not have a clue how much I appreciate your help. I was about to buy this procera but now I need it no more, you’ve just cured my memory by just being so human to making me think. I understand you get nothing for that, just high appreciation from all of us who follow your advice which is full of goodwill. Now I will be dreaming about a sign on a door “Dr. Joe Cannon.who CAN help”.
Hi nilza, I’m a wee bit old for medical school but I do thank you for your sweet words. I really apprecaite it 🙂
Hi Joe and everybody here: I am gladly stunned and thankful with all the serious and unbaised information about this Procera AVH supplement in your website. I am curious about what motivated you to do this excellent research, which is very impressive for me, and I am completely convinced of every word you’ve written. I wish there were more people like you helping others to make right decisions about their health and more people like all of us who did not buy the first words we hear about something that seems to be “too good to be true”. I want to thank you and congratulate you for being so kind and thoughtful with others you don’t even know. You helped me a lot with making the right decision about not buying this product for my mom who is 81 and has high blood pressure and vascular dementia. This world needs more people like YOU!!! 🙂
Hi Yoly. I’m humbled by your words. I really do appreciate you saying that. I’ve been looking at supplements for many years. I started out like a lot of us – I believed what the ads said. While in college, by chance, I started to write a paper on a supplement and realized that the research didn’t match what the ads were saying. I kept looking and found that the same thing was happening with other supplements. This ultimately lead me to write a book about supplements and from that, this website was born. I just thought others might like to know what I learned.
Very happy you still have your mom with you! Happy Easter Yoly 🙂
Don’t believe a thing this doctor CLAIMS!
Dearest JOE, I just read what other people wrote to you. I want to add one more thing “too, too bad you are not a medical doctor, it means my lack of luck because I would be your pacient even if you lived in the moon. I am so happy I read your entire comments like I have not being able to read that much for quite sometime for lack of concentration and signs of memory loss ( I am 64 yrs old).
So I guess what I needed was someone like you who is so kind and concerned for people you don´t even know. Thank you, thank you for making me aware of this “seemily” scam. I had called them but had only a tiny feeling of their agressevity, they would not accepted money order, so I pulled out, not my credit card in their hands. Anyway, you are the one to cure my brain as far I am concerned, not them (smile). Again Thank you so very much for your excellent work. Muito Obrigada in own language too.
Let me know if you have written a book, I will buy it.
Nilza, thanks. That’s the nicest compliment Ive had all month (actually a lot longer than that)! Yes I do have a book about vitamins and herbs. Its called Nutritional Supplements What Works and Why. Here is a link to the book on Amazon.com
If you like, you can read more about it and me on my personal website also Joe-Cannon.com
Thanks also for mentioning their aggressive customer service. It’s too bad that stuff like that is happening.
Thanks again Nilza and have a great day!
Hello:
I do not know about Procera and I won’t buy it unless I know the dosages of the ingredients and the price comes way down. However, I have experience with using Huperzine A and Vinpocetine for my son and I cannot begin to tell you the positive changes it has made. ( I read about it through Dr. Amen and extensive reading on the net) My son has significant short term learning memory problems due to ADHD and Dyslexia. He also has some mood issues due to the ADHD. These two products have made a dramatic change in his ability to learn, to remember and is less irritable which is a blessing we did not expect. He is so bright, is more focused and is getting As and Bs. Having said that, I buy these two products from a health food store and they are not as costly and I do not have auto billing problems.
He has little side effects except an upset stomach once in awhile. So I can attest personally these two products work at least for my son who is 13 but you need to judge for yourself. There is a study going on now for Huperzine A in use with Alzheimers and there is a study out of China for use with kids with ADHD and I think that is continuing. Read up on these products and judge for yourself. Buy them individually from a trusted health food source or pharmacy. They are much cheaper.
The work you’ve done is certainly appreciated. Your passion does not go unnoticed! 🙂
Thank you! I appreciate your very kind words.
Thank you so much for this site. My Mother ordered this product and I have talked her into returning it. I cannot thank you enough for all the work and research you have put into this information for us to see. She is 81, and we lost Dad from Alzheimer’s 5 months ago. She knows she is getting forgetful and after both of us taking care of Dad for 8 years, we are really afraid of this disease. Mother had thyroid problems and high blood pressure and I do NOT want her taking this product. Thank you, thank you so much for your Wonderful information!
Blessings
W. Eagle, thanks for your kind words and I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad! I unfortunately know what you all are going through. Please tell your mom that its normal to be a little forgetful or take a little longer to remember things as we get older. As I used to tell my grandmother (who lived to 104 and somethings forgot things), as long as you remember it after a few moments, its fine. As long as your mom doesn’t forget where she lives or where she parked her car etc, I would not be too concerned. Also remind her that shes under a LOT of stress right now, having just recently lose her husband. I think that – and the fear of getting Alzheimers – might be playing a role in her forgetfulness. Obviously I’ m not a doctor but I think this should be considered.
When I lost my mom and dad about 13 years ago someone who told me that it might take 5 years to recover. That brought me some comfort. I hope it does for you and your mom.
