The B-complex vitamins are vital for a myriad bodily processes – in fact, you can never have too much.

Grape Seed Extract has antioxidant properties that help brain cells degenerate slower, and also repair themselves. Ginkgo is a star ingredient well-known for aiding cognition and slowing mental decline on a number of fronts. L-Tyrosine is brilliant for helping the thyroid work optimally – your brain processes will suffer if the thyroid is malfunctioning. Most importantly, the latter plus L-Phenylalanine are necessary for the formation of Norepinephrine and Dopamine, two key feel-good and energizing hormones. CoQ10 is necessary for optimal brain performance and slowing mental decline.
How Do You Use Now Foods True Focus?
Take 2 capsules a day not with but between meals. For adults, not children. Consult your doctor if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or if you have a medical condition. This product contains L-Phenylalanine so stay clear if you have an allergy or sensitivity or other incompatible health ailment.
The Cost
A bottle of 90 vegetarian capsules costs $11.15. This is significantly cheaper than many brain boosters without, it seems, having compromised on ingredients. However, there are no discounts by volume. One bottle equals a six-week supply.
Is There A Guarantee?
No money-back guarantees are in place although there are freshness and quality guarantees. A lack of a returns policy in most cases shows the manufacturer cannot back its own product to be as effective as it says it would, so this is something to watch out for.
The Conclusion of Our Now Foods True Focus Review
The bottle is considerably less expensive than other brain boosters and you are getting value considering there the ingredients included, the amounts per serving, the GMP standards and the fact that a bottle lasts for 6 weeks as compared to 4 weeks in some other cases. Although reviews are not plentiful, consumers mostly rate it as an above-average product nonetheless.
As good as the product is, a complete vitamin B blend is always more beneficial than two select vitamins. The amount of Ginkgo is low and you would benefit from a product with a higher mg of this vital ingredient. Your risk in purchasing True Focus is that it comes without a guarantee or returns policy, so if you do go ahead, buy one to test first instead of a few bottles.
