When you’re having trouble focusing, finding yourself forgetting things, or having difficulty staying on task all the way through to completion, you might benefit from a relatively new class of natural supplements called nootropics.

They’ve been getting a lot of internet buzz, and I’ve personally tried quite a few of them.

Basically, what nootropics do is naturally help improve conditions within your brain to optimize memory, focus, attention, and concentration.

For some people, like those who suffer with ADD and/or ADHD, these attributes are at a deficient level naturally, and nootropics can raise their cognitive function up to “normal.” For others, they’re looking for something to give them an edge, that leg up over the competition.

Focusene is a newer option I’ve recently noticed picking up steam on the internet.

Its marketing seems to focus more on those with a tendency toward ADD/ADHD rather than those who are looking for that “Limitless Pill”.

But it claims it would be effective in both cases.

Benefits of Focusene

According to the available marketing materials, people with trouble focusing are lacking certain nutrients within their brains.

And if those could just be boosted to the appropriate levels, things would fall into place, allowing them to feel “normal”, maybe for the first time in their lives.

Focusene then goes further.

After providing the proper nutrients, it then supercharges your memory and cognitive ability to take you to a higher levels of ability than you knew existed.

How Focusene Works

Within your brain are neurotransmitters, each with their own function and purpose.

Three of the important ones for focus, concentration, and memory are Dopamine, Norepinephrine, and Acetylcholine.

In a nutshell:

• Dopamine regulates motivation and alertness.
• Norepinephrine is often deficient in Alzhiemer’s Disease patients and is important for extreme concentration and the brain’s natural reward system.
• Acetylcholine is very involved in the signaling processes within the brain.
  
  This is the one most nootropic supplements are involved with.

Some of the components of the Focusene formula provide an almost instant cognitive boost.

These are working on your brain’s cellular energy and boosting the activity of acetylcholine.

Others are more for the long term cognitive effects, providing the building blocks necessary to boost stores of the chemicals your brain needs to function at its peak.

Focusene Ingredients

The Focusene formula consists of several natural ingredients, each with their own contribution to your cognitive health:

• Dandelion Extract which improve memory and wakefulness with its Luteolin content.
• Forskolin which boosts cellular energy levels in the brain for better inter-cell communication.
• Phenylalanine which is an amino acid that acts as a precursor to both Dopamine and Acetylcholine.
• L-Theanine which increases the activity of the neurotransmitter, GABA, for the reduction of physical tension.
• Acetyl—Carnitine which boosts both physical and mental energy.
• Grape Seed Extract which provides antioxidant protection for cells and improves blood flow for better nutrient delivery.
• Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri) which promotes focus, concentration, and mental endurance, while it reduces anxiety.
• DMAE which helps boost choline levels, which leads to increased acetylcholine.
• Vitamin B6 which is involved in the metabolism of several neurotransmitters.
• Ginkgo Biloba which is known to enhance memory and concentration as well as mood.
• Korean Red Ginseng which has been used to fight anxiety and depression as well as improve memory for centuries.

How To Use Focusene

The recommended dose is 2 Focusene capsules per day.

You can take the 2 together, or you can separate them into 2 doses, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Either way, it’s recommended that you take your dose with water about half an hour before eating.

Clinical Studies

Some of the ingredients found in the Focusene formula have been the subject of scientific research, demonstrating their effectiveness or promise of such.

The Focusene website provides information about and links to some of those studies.

Focusene itself, however, does not appear to have ever been the subject of any official clinical trials as far as I can tell.

Who Makes Focusene?

Focusene is made by a company called Tranquility Labs out of Medford, Massachussettes.

Right off the bat, we noticed that the company has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.Believe me, in the online supplement industry, this is a rarity.

It doesn’t speak to the specific quality of their products, but it does give some assurance that they provide more than adequate customer service and respond appropriately to any complaints that come their way.

Focusene Side Effects and Precautions

The ingredients in Focusene are generally considered pretty safe, but that doesn’t mean there’s no chance of side effects.

Any supplement can cause unwanted effects in some people, but the expectation is that they’d be mild headaches or nausea, or possibly a difficulty sleeping if taken too late at night.

If you take prescription medication of have any medical condition, you should check with your doctor before taking Focusene or any supplement.

Where to Buy

Focusene is only available online through the Tranquility Labs website or the Focusene website.

The price and package options vary depending on which site you’re using.

On the Focuses website, the only thing available is the monthly shipping option.

It’s not a free trial like a lot of the other supplements offer.

But it does provide a discount over a single bottle purchase.

If you sign up, you’ll pay $39.95 each month for your supply.

On the Tranquility Labs website, you also have the option of one-time purchases.A single bottle is $49.95. Three bottles sell for $99.95. And six bottles cost $179.95.

All orders on both sites are covered by a 60 day money back guarantee that applies to one month worth of Focusene.

Focusene Pros and Cons

Advantages of Focusene

• The ingredients are all natural.
• They provide links to clinical studies for some of the ingredients in Focusene.
• There’s a money back guarantee.

Disadvantages of Focusene

• There are no independent Focusene reviews from customers.This makes it very tough to know how it’s working out there in the real world.
  
  Clinical studies on the ingredients are important, but we don’t know if these ingredients use the studied amounts.

Conclusion

It seems like there’s a new brain boosting supplement coming out every single day.

Most of them promise results like Bradley Cooper’s character in the movie, “Limitless.” Focusene takes a different approach.

It’s goal is to boost the cognitive function, focus, and concentration for those unlucky people with actual deficits in this area.

The fact that the ingredients they chose show clinical promise is a good thing.

The one thing missing is real, unbiased, independent customer reviews.

If you’re willing to be one of the first, give Focusene a try, and let us know how it works out for you.

Otherwise, it is fairly difficult for me to comfortably recommend something when I cannot be fully sure myself how it is going to affect a large number of people and I feel better off suggesting that you go with a similar product that actually has more verifiable feedback.
