Addys Focus is advertised as a powerful brain supplement specially designed to replace prescription ADD/ADHD drugs, such as Adderall. The manufacturer claims their product “integrates a powerful combination of all-natural ingredients to elevate focus and concentration”, giving you an elite blend of ingredients that raise mental energy and stamina to amplify your performance without a crash.

Addys Focus contains 14 different nootropic compounds. While not particularly unique, most of these ingredients have some proven background and some proven effectiveness when it comes to brain health support. But can these nootropics work together and form an effective formula? That remains to be seen.

Ingredients

Addys Focus contains the following ingredients: Bacopa Monnieri (125 mg), Rhodiola Rosea (100 mg), Choline Bitartrate (200 mg), Piracetam (400 mg), Phosphatidylserine (200 mg), Phenylalanine (100 mg), L-Tyrosine (100 mg), Acetyl-L-Carnitine (100 mg), Cha’de Bugre (80 mg), Cocoa Seed Extract (50 mg), Caffeine (90 mg), Vinpocetine (5 mg), Panax Ginseng (50 mg), Ginkgo Biloba (50 mg).

Product Features

As stated above, Addys Focus contains 14 different nootropic compounds. So let’s take a look at some of the more interesting ingredients here.

Bacopa monnieri (125 mg) has been shown to improve the ability to learn and retain new information. However, the typical recommended dose of bacopa monnieri is around 300 mg. At this dose, numerous clinical studies have shown that bacopa monnieri can improve memory, attention, and even reduce anxiety and stress. Addys Focus contains about 40% of this recommended amount.

Rhodiola rosea extract (100 mg) is a powerful adaptogen that has been shown to boost mental performance and the ability to focus. It has also been shown to increase energy levels and decrease mental fatigue in patients. However, just as with bacopa monnieri extract, studies have shown that a much higher amount of this substance (300 to 600 mg) is required in order to get the promised benefits

Addys Focus also contains 400 mg of piracetam, one of the most powerful nootropics available on the market. As with the other ingredients, piracetam has been shown to support memory, improve learning abilities, and improve cognitive functionality, without causing toxicity. But all these studies have been used a much larger dose of piracetam (ranging from 1200 mg to 4800 mg a day). At this dosage, Piracetam has given us extensive evidence that it can reduce cognitive decline, boost cognition, and improve memory.

Advantages

Multiple claimed benefits.
Relatively cheap brain supplement compared to other similar supplements.
Most ingredients have been clinically research and proven to work.
Potential viable alternative to Adderall.
Addys Focus is endorsed by several physicians.

Disadvantages

Ingredients such as bacopa monnieri, piracetam, or rhodiola rosea are in much lower amounts than what studies have shown to be required in order to provide their claimed benefits.
Very limited buying options – just a handful of retailers sell the product.
Not much information available online and the official website looks outdated.
Not very many reviews and testimonials.

Conclusion

Addys Focus appears to be a brain supplement with a lot of potential. The formula looks interesting and it includes some well-known and proven ingredients when it comes to brain health. However, most of these ingredients are in very low amounts, much lower than the recommended dose for them to be effective.

Can Addys Focus improve your performance at school, work, or even at the gym? That is a tough question to answer to. But the concept is there and if the manufacturer can provide some extra documentation to support their claims (on the overall formula, not just on each ingredient separately), then Addys Focus may be a good alternative to Adderall and other such prescription drugs.

Is Addys Focus Right For You?

Addys Focus is one of the many brain supplements designed to mimic the effects of ADD and ADHD prescription drug, Adderall. According to the official website, Addys Focus is a focus and concentration supplement to help supercharge your brain.

Most people know that abusing ADD/ADHD medication can be dangerous and can lead to serious side effects. This is one of the reasons so many manufacturers have released alternatives to prescription ADD/ADHD medication. Addys Focus is one of these alternatives, at least according to its manufacturer.

The official website (which could use some updates) claims that people who have taken Addys Focus have experienced about 6 to 8 hours of sustained energy release.This energy release came with feelings of increased focus and increased ability to concentrate.

One study quoted by the producing company states that the subjects did not report any negative side effects or a crash after the increased energy levels went back down to normal.

Ingredients of Addys Focus

Addys Focus includes the following ingredients: Bacopa Monnieri (125 mg), Rhodiola Rosea (100 mg), Choline Bitartrate (200 mg), Piracetam (400 mg), Phosphatidylserine (200 mg), Phenylalanine (100 mg), L-Tyrosine (100 mg), Acetyl-L-Carnitine (100 mg), Cha’de Bugre (80 mg), Cocoa Seed Extract (50 mg), Caffeine (90 mg), Vinpocetine (5 mg), Panax Ginseng (50 mg), Ginkgo Biloba (50 mg)

Effectiveness of Addys Focus

The secret behind Addys Focus appears to be the inclusion of Whole Green Coffee Powder (WGCP) into the formulation. Regular coffee uses roasted coffee beans, which essentially means that most of the beneficial properties were sucked out of the coffee beans. That’s one of the reasons regular coffee has basically no nutritional value and it can only provide a superficial energy boost for a short period of time.

On the other hand, according to Addys Focus official website, raw green coffee beans are actually a superfood. They contain 5 essential acids, caffeine, fiber, and various other nutrients. The manufacturer claims that these raw green coffee beans undergo a complicated process that utilizes 100% of the acids, fiber, and caffeine of every last bean. The end product is then encapsulated, resulting in the so-called WGCP.

Addys Focus also contains other active ingredients such as Bacopa monnieri extract – an Ayurvedic treatment used to boost cognitive energy, 200 mg of Choline bitartrate – which plays a crucial role in the formation of new memories and has been clinically proven to help boost memory in clinical trials, and400 mg of piracetam – one of the most powerful nootropics available at this moment.

Addys Focus Price

One bottle of Addys Focus costs $19.95, which is not that expensive for a full month of treatment. However, the purchasing options are quite limited, the company selling Addys Focus only through a handful of online and offline retailers.

Does Addys Focus Work?

Addys Focus’ formula is intriguing and it may provide some benefits if taken as recommended. The supplement is transparent about its ingredients and dosages and also comes with a surprisingly competitive price tag, priced at just $19.95 for a 30 day supply.

The formula also contains some scientifically-verified ingredients like piracetam and choline bitartrate. They’re not extremely high doses of any of these ingredients, but they’re within the lower end of the recommended dosage range.

So, does Addys Focus work? The supplement may be effective at replacing prescription ADD and ADHD drugs such as Adderall but we advise our readers to further research into the formula and consult with their medical doctor before using Addys Focus.
