Ok, so do they work? Are they effective?
In a word, no they do not.
I found these very similar to a past product Review on Onnits Alpha Brain.
No matter what I did or what I took them with (even upping the dose, playing around with timings, trying empty stomach and different food combinations etc), they did nothing. I noticed no effect from them whatsoever.
Based on how ineffective they are, I cannot recommend them to anyone.
Stay Healthy,
Mike
