So, the other day, I saw a package on the shelf that actually said Brain something something. I think it was in the health section. But anyways, this is a pill bottle that cost OMG, like $50 bucks man. From what I read it's like suppose to enhance your brain skills.
But, I was just curious if anyone else has seen these and if they have taken them?
Just curious if they work or not?
I mean, I don't just want to hop right in and be gullible.
I can't stand everyone else being smarter than me though.
So, I was debating on whether to level the playing field.

But I have heard of people drilling holes in their skull. Something about more oxygen to the brain makes it work more efficiently.
Phosphatidylserine (fos-fuh-tie-dul-SER-een) is a dietary supplement that has received some interest as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other memory problems. Several studies involving phosphatidylserine indicate a benefit — improved cognitive abilities and behaviors. However, improvements in memory lasted only a few months and were seen in people with the least severe symptoms.
Initially, phosphatidylserine supplements were derived from the brain cells of cows. However, because of concerns about mad cow disease, most manufacturers now produce phosphatidylserine supplements from soy or cabbage derivatives. Early studies, though promising, were based on cow-derived supplements. It's not known if plant-based phosphatidylserine supplements offer any benefits.
Keep in mind that the Food and Drug Administration doesn't require manufacturers to provide evidence of the potential risks and benefits of phosphatidylserine — or of any supplement. Consult your doctor before starting any dietary supplement.
