Sense of Mind is a nutritional supplement designed to prevent age-related memory impairment. According to the manufacturer, the formula is effective for people as old as 70 or 80 years of age. The producer is NorthStar Nutritionals, a company located Maryland, U.S, which also manufactures and markets a number of supplements and formulas based on amino acids, multivitamin and herbal extracts.
The manufacturer mentions an extensive list of ingredients, which have been linked (scientifically or not) to memory function improvement, such as Ginkgo Biloba, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine, Phosphatidylcholine (Lecithin), GABA or Vinpocentine. In a synergetic manner, the combination of these ingredients should insure the benefits claimed by the manufacturer.
There is a 60 day refund policy for this product, as for the great majority of the company’s products.

Conclusion
Over the past few years, there is no deny that there’s a clear market orientation toward natural products, regardless of the field of interest (food, cosmetics, drugs, etc). Sense of Mind is one of the many products currently on the market to claim preventing memory loss promoting a mix formula of amino-acids and plants.
The manufacturer does not provide scientific evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness and the product is not FDA approved. However Sense of Mind contains ingredients that make a good argument for its effectiveness. Also the manufacturer goes to great length to explain how each of the ingredients has been proved or may impact mental functions (memory, focus, thinking, recall).
For precautionary reasons, we recommend our readers to seek medical advice before going under treatment.

I took sense of mind for a month with out fail , noticed no change in my memory but experienced severe abdominal pain ,i recently quit . My pain was gone in 3 days.
I have taken it faithfully for 30 days and still waiting to see any results, but hoping.
I’m wondering what side effects or allergic reactions were associated with “Sense of Mind”?
I started taking a Sense of Mind. and after a few days noticed a difference.. I definitely wasnt as tired and thinking and memory recall was better as were my moods and even my sleeping was better. I got without it and have returned to tired and exhausted feeling. I take other supplements and vitamins but I must say I wont get without Sense of Mind again.
It does what it says and is jam packed with all necessary ingredients to help balance our bodies and give us better quality lives.
I used Sense of Mind for two months but I don’t think that it did me much good. I have turned to some other methods of helping me to get my mind sharp such as playing games on the computer including Scrabble and Sudoku. Hopefully this will help me because I want a young mind even as my body gets older.
Going back to school as an adult is a challenge for me. One of the tools I have been using is Sense of Mind. It allows me to get through my study sessions in less time while being able to retain more information than before. I am getting more confidence in my abilities and I know that I will be able to get my degree in just a couple of years.
Sense of Mind is a supplement that I recently picked up in an effort to clear my mind. I love my job but have to admit with all the changes it gets tough. Many of these younger staff guys are able to pick things up before me – and I am their supervisor. I want this to help me get that edge back because I don’t want them to lose trust that I am an effective leader.
