Memory Loss is Cured?

                I recently read an article about this new "miracle supplement" called IQ-150 Memory Support. It claims to enhance concentration and reaction time, improve blood flow to the brain, boost mental energy and cognitive clarity, and it is rich in antioxidants to promote brain health. A high bar to set for this new pill in my opinion; obviously, I am skeptical and doubtful of this pill, as I am with almost all supplements. The news channel reporter, who wrote this article, was also skeptical, yet tested the supplement to see if it really worked or if it was all hype. After one week the reporter was amazed about how mentally interactive she was throughout the day. She also stated that it was not troublesome throughout the night because she was continually sleeping better. After four weeks of taking IQ-150 Memory Support, she absolutely had no doubts about how great this supplement was with no consequences. In her article she states, "I was in the best mental state of my life... I will continue to use the product indefinitely!" Under the article she recommends viewers to order it through the Channel 23 News website, and to leave comments.

           It was funny to read some of the comments because people were posting things like, "I'm 73 years old and living like I'm 20! I wish IQ-150 was around when I was younger! " Even though a news channel supports it and many people commented on its positive effects towards their memory, I would not take this supplement. I would not take it because it was recently released to the public, and I do not believe in taking medicative supplements unless absolutely necessary. I think that most medicative supplements do more harm than help to the body, and it does not seem natural or safe to take memory supplements. I personally would not take them, but I think it's interesting to see how medicine is evolving to enhance our minds and bodies.

  1. It could also just be the placebo effect, and they will themselves to believe they are smarter.
