Zahler TeenFocus, Advanced Formula for Improved Focus & Concentration, Certified Kosher, 90 Capsules

This caused my son to be completely zoned out, as if he was operating in slow motion. Only used once, and we are throwing it away. Best to consult your doctor.

My daughter felt no difference

These capsules include a formula designed to help support brain activity while also including a few ingredients that can calm the nervous system. It actually might be better to have 2 different formulas, one to use for a time of day when you want more mental sharpness and focus and another to use for relaxation and recovery. These vegetable based capsules have good ingredients and just a few inert components with no added sweeteners or preservatives. While they are fairly safe I think there are other formulas that might be better for specific cognitive health concerns.

I ordered this Zahler teen focus for my son toward the end of the school year. He was having a hard time staying on track with his studies at home due to the corona virus. He had a hard time focusing with distractions from siblings and pets. I gave him this to take and it did help him pull his grades out of the failing category into passing all of his classes by the end of the school year. This did not give him any side effects. He personally did not like taking the pills because he has trouble swallowing pills in general, but once he got used to it, he was fine. I am planning on having him use these again in the fall when school starts back up since he will probably have to do online school at least a few days of the week until this corona virus settles down. Overall, I am happy with the results.

This product contains the famous nootropic (brain drug) physphatidylserine at 100mg - the dose most common in such brain pills. Wikipedia says the FDA gave this ingredient "qualified health claim" status for reducing dementia among the elderly. It is believed by many to help with all levels of cognition though that claim is not verified. And the stuff is available in food - 130 mg in a chicken leg with skin (3.5 oz meat) or 140 mg in 6 oz beef or veal. But here it is packaged neatly in pill form. My question is why it is used in a pill aimed at kids (teens). The stuff hasn't been on the market for that long and it's fine for an adult to play with brain chemicals, but for kids? I guess we all want little Johnnie to get into Harvard at all costs! And there are supporting herbs and compounds: B12, magnesium, citicoline (another nootropic), green tea extract, theanine, and saffron extract. The amount of each ingredient is listed which is nice. This should work for anyone - teen or geezer or anyone in between.
