In this week's column I thought I'd take a little break from talking about the Bulletproof Diet (although my weight is way down, and my energy levels are through the roof because of it), and instead talk about Alpha Brain.
If you've never heard Joe Rogan rave about this product on his podcast, Alpha Brain is what's termed a "nootropic" - a supplement for your brain. They're designed to improve brain function - memory, motivation, attention span, concentration levels can all be improved with nootropics.
Thanks to an agressive marketing campaign (the aforementioned Joe Rogan Podcast, The Steve Austin Show among others) Alpha Brain is probably the most well known of the nootropics. I've been taking it for about two weeks now (one every morning), and I decided a while to wait to write about it. Mainly because I wanted to see if A) it actually worked and B) it wasn't just a placebo effect.
Well to answer A- it does. I've noticed a big increase in my concentration level, I find it easier to focus on tasks at hand and I get them done quicker. Things that I would normally leave on the long finger (be they work related, or even simple things like tidying up at home) I now do instantly. It feels like the fog that was around my head every morning is completely lifted, my thinking is clearer and I feel more mentally sharp. It feels brilliant to be honest.
As for B - I don't think it's a placebo effect. Which is why I waited for a while to write this blog. If it was a placebo effect, the perceived benefits I was getting would surely have disappeared by now. The fact that they haven't several weeks later is a testament to that. I think Alpha Brain works, and works quite well.
And I've yet to mention another great byproduct of Alpha Brain - really f**king vivid dreams!
Every night without fail I've been having really detailed, really vivid dreams. It's almost at the point where I'm lucid dreaming. Every single night. I wake up energised from the dreams (thanks to the very deep sleep I've just had). I've been able to remember them when I wake up too, which is rare enough for me. And that's all down to Alpha Brain.
I'd always wanted to try Alpha Brain, but the expensive importation costs from the US had always put me off. Now that Upgraded Ireland are selling it here in Cork I had no excuse. And I'm glad I tried it. Initially I was sceptical - "there's no way a supplement can do all that", I thought to myself. But I was wrong.
Give it a go! Let me know what effects it has on you in the comments section below. And for more information on Alpha Brain you can visit their website here https://www.onnit.com/alphabrain/
Check back in for next week's column when I return to writing about my Bulletproof Diet and the positive effects it's having on me.
