My mom is 82 years old and has been taking this supplement, along with 2 other prescribed meds for her memory. She is sharp as a tck, still drives herslf around Miami, FL and is a fierce "church lady" at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Pinecrest, FL.

A friend of ours told us about the product and we tried it. It really helps with mental clarity and also to sleep deeper. Great product and great service!! Also it is much cheaper here than at the health food store!!
Memory retention improved

I work and attend a MBA program full time. I was mentally sluggish when it came time to study or write assignments. Since using Neuro Optimizer my retention rate has improved by half. This stuff really helps.
Neuro Optimizer does what it says

There are no panacea for more intelligence, better memory, or quicker thinking, but Neuro Optimizer certainly takes one in that direction. It is not overnight Hollywood movie wake up being a genius -- just a better me. Quicker memory access, though you will still forget things, just not as much. More quickly, I make connections -- the kind stand-up comedians need to make in order to be funny (a high art) -- or the kind needed to arrive at solutions to problems more easily. We're talking degrees here. I rate Jarrow's product high because, let's be realistic, when was the last time ANYTHING, promising to result in improved nervous system function, actually delivered -- even to some degree? I have found that adding vinpocetine increases Neuro Optimizer's effectiveness -- though that may be placebo effect, my experience says that for me it works.
What does Neuro Optimizer® do?
Neuro Optimizer® is nutrition for the brain, combining CDP Choline (cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine, also known as Citicoline), Phosphatidylserine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine and Taurine to enhance brain metabolism and antioxidant protection safely and naturally, without the use of stimulants.*
Citicoline (CDP-Choline) is an essential intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a major constituent of the gray matter of brain tissue (30%).* Citicoline promotes brain metabolism by enhancing the synthesis of acetylcholine and restoring phospholipid content in the brain.*
PS (Phosphatidylserine) supports the brain's proper response to stress and promotes neuronal communication.* The antioxidants Acetyl L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Taurine provide protection for the neurons from damage caused by certain free radicals.* Acetyl L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and L-Glutamine also support energy utilization.* Taurine also aids in osmoregulation (maintenance of proper concentrations of ions) inside the cell.*
