Because many members are heading into the final months of school I thought this would be a good time to remind people about Neurogenex. For many people it can make the difference between a $35,000 a year job and a $50,000 job coming out of school. And for those younger it's can be the difference between Ivy League and State.
I know most the people using it during the school year have done so in order to help them balance their academic and social commitments. Like being mentally alert for the 8AM class after getting home at 4AM. But testing and problem solving skills are where you'll see the biggest increase when you use Neurogenex. This is from their website.
As a college student that has used this product, I thought I would let some others know my personal experiences. I took only one 90 count bottle for a full month, 3 pills (old formula) per day. Keep in mind that this is all my opinion,
results will probably vary from person to person, and I have read that it takes more than a month for full effects too appear in some of the ingredients. First off, I don't think this product is will make the difference between Ivy League and State school. I think that this may be a little silly. Only hard work is going to make that difference. Now the increased memory may help motivate you to study more. A slight placebo effect might also make you want to study more. Then again you might just improve at ping pong enough to want to spend all day playing. Taking this stuff will not make you heads and tails above your normal self. You will not look back a month later and say "gee, I was dumb." However, I do have a bottle on order and I do think this is a good supplement (short-term, despite looking I have found no reliable long-term info on these nootropics).
This supplement is awesome for breaking a caffeine addiction, in my opinion. It had me waking up bright and aware early in the morning, and I am not a morning person. This was my favorite effect. (effects appeared in 1 to 1.5 weeks and lasted duration)
This supplement did seem to increase my memory. I remembered where I put my keys, when my assignments were due, and other little things. I did not really notice a change in my memory of studied material. (effects appeared 2 weeks in and lasted until around a week after cessation)
This supplement did not seem to increase my ability to comprehend difficult concepts. I was studying computer science, statistics, and poetry that semester.
This supplement did seem to increase my hand eye coordination. I believe my ping pong ability did improve more than normal while taking this supplement. I just seemed to be 'on' more often. However, I was playing around 10 games a day, seven days a week, so I was bound to improve. My weight lifting was not affected noticeably. (2 weeks in)
My verbal ability did seem to increase slightly with this supplement. My words seemed to flow more freely, and better words seemed to come to mind. My sense of humor was also 'on'. I would compare this effect to what happens when you begin to read 30 minutes more a day. (3 weeks in)
This supplement makes colors look bright and shiny. (A somewhat worthless, but neat feature that appeared the second day)
I conclusion, if you are looking for a magic smart pill you won't find it. If you are looking for something to make school easy without studying, you won't find it. If you want something to help motivate you into studying more, this may be it, (I would compare this to how many young lifters get started because of creatine) but it will still take a lot of work. If you are looking for an edge in ping pong or speech and debate, I might give it a try if you have an extra $45 sitting around. If you are addicted to caffeine and have failed to kick the habit or you have been trying to get up earlier in the mornings with no luck, this might work (did for me). If you want colors to look bright and shiny, figure out which ingredient does this and buy it alone. This supplement does do 'stuff'. Whether or not this 'stuff' is worth $45 is a toss up. I'm going to order and use this new formula. But I sure don't expect anything too dramatic from it.
