Memory & Concentration

Concentration is mostly downstream of sleep, stress and blood sugar. Real memory decline is a different matter and needs assessing rather than supplementing.

What actually helps
  • Sleep, which consolidates memory. A short night undoes a long study session.
  • Working in blocks with the phone in another room, which beats any capsule.
  • Herbal support such as bacopa or ginkgo, given four to six weeks to show anything.
  • Caffeine used deliberately and early, since late caffeine costs you the sleep that does the real work.
