Conclusion
Focus Fast is marketed as one of the best focus formulas on the market, a claim which is not supported by any empirical or scientific evidence. The product contains over 30 vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, a combination which is not supported by any clinical trials or empirical proof. Consumer reviews are mixed, with negative aspects such as high price and moderate effectiveness being frequently reported.
The manufacturer mentions no Focus Fast side effects, however there are ingredients that have been reported to have side effects under certain usage and dosage conditions. We recommend a healthcare provider’s advice is sought prior to beginning treatment.
One of the Amino Acids [Blend] supplements we’ve come to trust the most is HCF Happy, Calm & Focused based on a unique FQ formula [15+ pure & effective associated neuro-nutrients] which research shows the ingredients may support memory, focus, attention, mood, and energy. People are reporting excellent results based on customer reviews we’ve seen and there is no mention of harmful side effects.

I just started taking it today and already have seen better focus within 2-3 hours. I ate first then took it and I should have taken it first then eaten. I have ADHD Inattentive and impulsive and have been taking Vyvanse since last year. My husband lost his job so I was taking the Vyvanse only when I worked but the days between were unbearable. So tired I just slept most of the time, couldn’t focus and dreaded trying to do my normal daily routine. I thought I’d try this until we can get insurance again. I was expecting nothing… Read more »
Great product and does exactly what it says it does.
Grass Fed Meats have omegas. Also your seeds and nuts pukimpn, sunflower, flax, pinenuts, almonds etc (especially flax or linseed). Fish is by far the best source. Shellfish is also good.You really want to be focussing on the omega 3 s though, because these are the ones we’re not getting enough of. They are found mainly in fish, seeds and grass fed meats. You need roughly a 1:1 ratio of omega 3:omega 6. Omega 6 is fairly common.Recipes? Well you can do simple things like adding seeds to your salads, evening meals etc. Again go for Grass Fed rather than… Read more »
I thought I would try this since there were no side effects and it was all natural ingredients, but it did not help at all.
This is a VERY good product. I’ve been taking FF for about 5 months now and my memory has never been better. I’m actually getting compliments almost on a daily basis because i remember all our clients.
A decent memory aid. Its cheaper than most…so I’m happy with what it can offer.
I have been taking Focus Fast for approximately 1 year now. In this amount of time I’ve noticed quite a few significant changes. Choice: Firstly, what attracted me to this product was the fact that it claimed to improve memory retention and perhaps improve attention span. After reading up on a few particular products that fit this bill, I chose focus fast because it did not include any additional caffeine which was strangely one of the selling points for me. I drink coffee throughout the day which I buy organic, so additional unknowns and possibly other chemicals found in the… Read more »
This is a VERY good product. I think the reason that some ppl on here might not be getting the same results might be cuz they’re only using it for 1 or 2 months. I’ve been taking FF for about 5 months now and my memory has never been better. I’m actually getting compliments almost on a daily basis cuz I can remember all of our clients (hair salon)
