The formula manufactured by Symmetry comes in the form of individual packets which should be mixed with a drink. The manufacturer claims it is able to provide a safe, fast and effective dose of energy and mental focus, unlike other energy drinks which owe their effect to the content of high fructose corn syrup, caffeine or other stimulants, effect which quickly wears off.

Product Features
Clear Boost mixes several herbal extracts as core ingredients in a formulation which claims to deliver enhanced focus, increased physical energy and a balanced mood. American Ginseng is an herb used for various medicinal purposes, which range from oxidative stress to diabetes. Although for many of its presumed benefits scientific evidence is still needed, American Ginseng enjoys a great popularity as an herbal medicine. There is evidence which indicates it may improve energy, memory and mental focus. Other health benefits include sleep disorders symptoms, fibromyalgia symptoms, anemia, high blood pressure, infections or fever. Similarly, it is believed that a combination of American Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba may be effective in reducing ADHD disorder symptoms. Although considered safe for use on the short term, American Ginseng use may lead to anxiety, low blood sugar, vomiting and insomnia.
Panax Ginseng (Korean Ginseng) is known for a wide spectrum of other benefits. It has potent adaptogenic properties; hence it is commonly used in stress management and to support how the body naturally copes with stress. Panax Ginseng has been also successfully used by athletes to enhance physical endurance during training The herb is also believed to have antioxidant properties. Several clinical tests have shown it may be able to improve focus, concentration, speed of recall, memory and accuracy, however solid scientific evidence to support this claim is still required. Side effects of Panax Ginseng are rare but may include changes in heart rhythm, drowsiness, anxiety, sadness and muscle spasms.
There are no consumer reviews available for Clear Boost, other than a few on the manufacturer’s website, which should be treated with caution. The manufacturer specifically mentions Clear Boost is a side effects free formulation. The recommended dosage is one packet mixed with 4 fl. oz. or more of any liquid or shake.
Advantages
- Clear Boost is an herbal formulation;
- Individual packed dosages make the product convenient and easy to use;
- The formula comes in the form of dissolvable power making it easy to administrate.
Disadvantages
- Potential side effects associated to the core ingredients, although the manufacturer mentions none for the entire formulation;
- Special precautions and drug interactions associated to Ginkgo Biloba;
- Lack of consumer reviews (except for a few available on the manufacturer’s website).
Conclusion
Herbal products and alternative medicine remedies have gained increasing popularity over the past few decades. There are reports that almost 20% of the U.S. population is frequently turning to herbal medicine to treat common illnesses. However, the fact that the FDA does not regulate the production of herbal supplements and hence no clear regulation or standardization exists, leads to safety and other concerns that may temper the decision to use these products. It is hence always advised that you consult a healthcare provider before using such products.
Clear Boost is a mixture of herbs which promises to deliver increased stamina and focus in a safe and side-effect free manner. However, there is no evidence to support this claim, nor are there consumer reviews. The individual use of the ingredients has been sometimes associated to certain side effects which are not to be ignored. Still, the formula may be effective for some patients, since many of the ingredients have been linked to benefits similar to those advertised by the formula.
