Bottom Line: Some interesting ingredients, but this formulation is not backed by research. No product on the market will boost your memory.
An herbal bouquet, including huperzine A, vinpocetine, and others. Huperzine is under study as a potential Alzheimer’s drug. There is as yet no solid evidence that it works. It is sold for memory enhancement in Europe, but there’s no proof that it, or any of the other herbs in Focus Factor, is effective.
DMAE. This brain chemical helps the body produce choline. As a supplement it is sold for everything from reducing facial wrinkles to making you smarter. But it’s very unlikely that DMAE can do any of this.

These could very well be microgram doses. When "Synergistic and proprietary formulation" is used as a smokescreen, it is an affront to any intelligent consumer.Synergistic and proprietary formulation 692 mg *

Comment on action (or lack) of ingredients aside: All you need to know to form a immediate buying decision of this product is right on Focus Factors site. Whenever a product does not disclose dose of individual ingredients, I run.
