Gaia Herbs Nootropic Focus - Brain & Cognitive Support Supplement to Help Maintain Healthy Concentration* - With Saffron, Lemon Balm & Spearmint - 40 Liquid Phyto-Capsules (20 Servings)

I did research online for a natural remedy for my depression. I wasn’t on any Rx for it, but realized I needed some help. I found a medical study that showed that Saffron was similar to Prozac in its effect, so I started looking for it. Saffron in truth is the most expensive herb of all herbs but it was worth it to me if it worked. There were many on the market, but I turned to Gaia because I trust it. And it does and has worked for me. I am so grateful!

I love this product it works really wonderful! I love all the products by this company is all 100% quality top notch! You can't find a better made supplement in the US! This company produces an growns most of all the plants to make these products! If I have to say there's a downside is that the bottle is only a 10 day supply! But if you have some important things to do and you need to focus on a project I recommend it 1000%! All of their supplements are in clear Capsules filled with the plant liquid and therefore they actually dissolve quickly where is my supplements are hard capsules and they do absolutely nothing because your body cannot process them! I can't say enough good things about this company it's very very impressive!! I combined this product with the adrenal jumpstart and boy does that really help!!!! Like I said it's an expensive combination and the jumpstart is only supposed to be taken for a shorter period of time! But if you need some get up and go into Set your energy, This is a winner all the way around!!

I have a demanding professional role, and I've noticed significantly improved memory, a sharper feeling of focus, and (this was unexpected) better sleep while taking this product. Just ordered another bottle and plan to keep taking this for a long time!

It took a few days before I noticed an affect but my mood has definitely been improved since starting this. I marked as 4 stars instead of 5 because it doesn't have a full month supply in the bottle and at around $28 a pop, it's fairly expensive for me.

I am a big fan of the ingredients in this supplement. Particularly ginkgo. So I had some high hopes for this mix. It worked alright but I don’t feel it really had a major effect in one way or another. I do trust the Gaia brand and I’ve tried several of their supplements over the years. Perhaps I had too many expectations for this to show results quickly. I’ve been taking it for a few days now and I’ve noticed mild improvements but nothing I would say warrants the price of this supplement. Gaia is always a bit on the pricey side but you are kind of paying for quality ingredients and a more trustworthy brand in my opinion. Perhaps it needs a longer time frame to produce a more substantial effect. I do agree with the other reviewer that you should really get a month's supply at this cost basis.Outside of that, the pills themselves are medium size and easy to swallow. They have spearmint and lemon balm in them so they smell nice and have a slight taste that is pleasant. The other nice aspect is these are Vegan and that is a big deal for many people. Overall it’s a good supplement just expensive as it’s just a 10 day supply if taken as recommended. (20 pills 2x daily)

Since I started taking these supplements I noticed more focus and clarity. I used these for a month and by the end of the month I was feeling like I could accomplish a lot more than before I started taking these. They are fairly easy to swallow and are a good value.

I don't know what it is about some of these supplements on here but I am having an allergic reaction of welts that start appearing on my neck and head when I take this. I first tried it for three days, taking two a day and they cropped up but I thought they were some mosquito bites from walking the dog and watering flowers but having had the issue with another supplement before, I stopped taking them for two days and the welts shrank down considerably. So I took them again for two days and dropped the dosage to one capsule and here the welts are again, though not quite as severe. I'm not sure what it is in here that could be causing the issue, as these are an entirely different supplement than what caused my allergic reaction before. I know I'm not allergic to Saffron, Lemon Balm, or Spearmint so I'm wondering if it doesn't have something to do with the vegetable capsule. I'm not sure what's up but because I could not take the product in its entirety, I can not provide an adequate review so I will leave a neutral rating of 3 stars.

The amount of the vitamins you get plus the recommended dosage makes this only enough for 5-10 days. Unfortunately, it takes about 10 days of taking them before you will even start to notice effects. This makes it very difficult to determine if these actually do anything with just this one bottle. I just don't feel like I noticed any difference and the price is a bit steep in my opinion to continue taking something that may or may not produce a desirable effect. On the other hand the did not cause any negative effects, they probably didn't do any harm but they also didn't seem to do any good.

Findings by a supplement testing lab that I trust indicate that Gaia Herbs do NOT always contain the active ingredients in the exact amounts listed on their labels. The lab hasn’t tested GAIA HERBS NOOTROPIC FOCUS (for Brain and Cognitive Support, Vegan Liquid Capsules, 20 Count), so I don’t know anything about the product other than what’s on the label.The active ingredients are saffron, lemon balm, ginkgo, and spearmint. When I checked these against my prescription drugs (using the Web MD supplements interactions checker), a serious interaction turned up. Spearmint can alter metabolism, changing the level of atorvastatin (generic for Lipitor) in the blood, so the use of spearmint along with atorvastatin should be monitored.The effectiveness of spearmint in improving memory is questionable, due to insufficient evidence. (Several web pages that I found said this.) Because of the possible serious drug interaction, I decided NOT to personally test this supplement.Also, Ginkgo may interfere with metabolism. It is an ingredient that is frequently “shorted” in OTC supplements.As always, the only real way to test a supplement is to take it and see whether it works for you. FDA approval isn’t required for the sale of dietary supplements, so it’s up to you to research any supplement that you’re considering to determine its effectiveness and safety.
