Have you ever tie-wrapped your sleeve to a bread bag? I have. 

Have you ever forgotten where you parked and reported your car as stolen? I have.

There have been other strange experiences, too. For instance, I question whether I rinsed my hair as I step out of the shower. Or I remember what I wore on the first day of kindergarten, but couldn’t conjure up the word, “bagel”. 

These incidents (and many, many others) prompted me to try to find an answer. Dr. Google had many suggestions. There were the Vitamin Bs; ginseng; Ginkgo biloba; green tree extract; rosemary essential oil; duck tape; all promising me the ability to speak Cantonese, after one dose.

For me, they all failed.

When Beef Brain was mentioned for human brain support (hurl), I chose something more mainstream (never mind that I saw an ad on TV). Neuriva is manufactured in the U.S., contains no preservatives or additives and is decaffeinated. So, in my cart it went. The results? Surprising!!

My focus improved tremendously. I no longer had to re-read 5 pages of a book to remember where I left off. My days of bouncing around like a pinball were over. Vocabulary recall was within me and was coming to the surface! (I am unquestionably speaking with increased eloquence–see how I did that?). I can remember six-digit validation codes sent to my phone.  I’m learning Photoshop Elements! I now feel competent, positive and in control.  

And now, the disclaimer. I’m not a doctor. I am not slinging pills. I just want to share my experience and offer encouragement to anyone with memory or focus problems to speak with their health professional. I was floored with the results. Maybe you will be, too.
