Focus Factor is probably the most well-known of the brain support supplements we reviewed. In fact, Focus Factor is also one of the pioneers in this particular field of supplement-assisted human performance. Focus Factor has a catchy name, a multi-million-dollar marketing campaign, and attention-grabbing packaging.
But what's inside the bottle? And more importantly, how did Focus Factor measure up? According to our tests, Focus Factor was an effective brain support supplement but simply didn't provide the same level of results as the top-rated product.
Read the details of our tests below.
A summary of Focus Factor compared to the #1-rated product:
|
Two issues should be noted. First, those who took Focus Factor did no better in self-reported memory tests after 90 days of use than they did before starting on the Focus Factor regimen. These results lead us to believe that Focus Factor does not have a noticeable effect on short-term memory.
The second is slightly more worrisome. Several of our testers reported mild gastric upset after a few days of taking Focus Factor and were forced to discontinue the program. Gastric upset is not uncommon when taking supplements of any kind, but was not an issue with any of the other products we tested. Those of our readers who have sensitive stomachs should take this into consideration.
Many of Focus Factor's 40 ingredients can be found in multivitamins and foods. There are so many ingredients in Focus Factor that it is unlikely that there are sufficient quantities of the ingredients specific to brain function.
All in all, Focus Factor was awarded a tentative buy rating. Those of you who choose to purchase Focus Factor should be careful of the auto-ship program which all too often becomes problematic and can be difficult to cancel. "Free Focus Factor" is just a marketing trick.
