Lucidal promises, according to the manufacturer's website, to improve memory, mental clarity and focus. The website even touts a clinical test confirming these claims. Unfortunately, there is no documentation offered by the manufacturers to prove the effectiveness of Lucidal. Despite the fact that this product was actually developed (according to marketing materials) by a neurologist, there is very little information provided about the individual ingredients in Lucidal or their effectiveness.
So how does Lucidal compare to the other brain support supplements we reviewed?

A summary of Lucidal compared to the #1-rated product:
|
Lucidal provided the lowest level of results of all the supplements we tested. This negative result surprised us. In fact, at first we speculated that a significant portion of our volunteers had simply stopped taking the supplement and had neglected to inform us. In fact, our volunteers had continued to take the product as recommended.
Whenever we encounter a product that delivers a low level of results, we speculate on whether or not we received a bad batch of product. It is possible that there are lot numbers of Lucidal available that would have a more positive effect. On the other hand, if quality control is such that an ineffective batch of product was actually sold to customers, this is another factor against Lucidal. Please note that we have no evidence whatsoever that there was actually a bad batch -- we are merely speculating on reasons for a lack of positive results.
Like Focus Factor, Lucidal has so many ingredients (50!) crammed into three capsules that there cannot possibly be enough brain support ingredients to beat the top-rated product. Most of the ingredients are in common multivitamins or multiminerals. We think nutritional supplements for the brain should focus on brain enhancing ingredients.
Considering the relatively low level of results, Lucidal was given a do not buy recommendation.
