I am now subscribed to autoShipment of:
#1. Brain & Body Power Max (history of brain trauma)
#2 Neurolink (tend toward type A personality nature)
#3 ProBrainBiotics (70 years old — Seems like a good idea — Am also taking 50 Billion 10 strain PB each day)
#4 SAMe (Seems like a supercharger for 70 year old with back injuries)
I also take Niagen & PQQ which is reported to work with mitochondria function to improve energy levels?
Any thoughts or comments?  I have taken lots of supplements over the years — often feels like throwing darts into the darkness.

I like this combination to help support your brain. How does it help you feel?

In one word, Better.  That answer only has meaning . . . compared to what?
I am 70, 20# over weight, my wife and I are living below the poverty level on social security.  We have our own home, but we are just scraping by.  I expect we will outlive our parents, which means another 20 to 30 years.
When you are making the final laps in life, and you have little in life for which to look forward, we mostly reflect on the past.  Not an inspiring thought exercise!  But, I have discovered that I have been motivated and driven (diverting myself) through achievement.  But, what happens when personal achievement is no longer possible?
I do have some investments that are expected to payout a very large amount within the next two months, which means I may be able to divert myself indefinitely.  But, is that a reasonable goal?
When I am experiencing the highest level of well being, I am usually oblivious to how I am feeling.

I am 75 and planning a move to the East Coast to a town I love. I do not have much money but am selling my house(not big) and downsizing even more to a condo. I find I do not need things as much as I need vital experiences and activities. It is a challenge but I know the new experiences will be good for my brain. I also have been living below the poverty level. Is it possible your house is something you could sell? I do not look upon this as a final lap but a new beginning.

First Consideration:  We live in Twinsburg, OH — the famous city that you hear about on  TV News broadcasts in the first weekend of August.  Twinsburg is the home of the Twins Days Festival when as many as 3 thousand twins from all over the world show up to become a dominant presence rather than a relative minority.  Twinsburg is located half way between Cleveland & Akron (Northeast OH).  So, the question:  Is 500 miles West of the East Coast close enough?

That is just amazing about the twins.  Has anybody done a movie based on that?  I’ll bet the festival draws a few researchers, too.

There is an office for Twin Research located in Twinsburg that serves as a clearinghouse for medical and psychological research studies that try to identify nature/nurture realities.

How do I feel now?  I had been taking 4 capsules of NeuroLink on an empty stomach in the morning, but have begun to have a superficial reaction (flushing sensation on my face).  I have cut back to two capsules now.  So I have gone from 8 Caps/day to 4 Caps/day.  Any comments?
Thank you.  ICG

Dr. Amen may speak more to this, but I would suggest that you make sure you are drinking plenty of water and try slowly increasing to the recommended dose as tolerated.

I take neurovite plus and probrainbiotics.. Been following Amen’s diet plan. I tried gluten free organic whole oats today wiith walnuts whole milk yogurt, ( usually use nonfat) with a little bit of blackberries. I need quality carbs because I’m probably an overactive brain  type with impulsive tendencies. After eating this breakfast,  I felt on a natural high. It feels unusually good. I’ve been taking the nuerovite plus for a while. The best multivitamin you can take. Now that I’m  on probrainbiotics I have regular  bowel movements and feel better. I think the diet helps this out to. In 58 years I’ve never been able to eat as much as I eat now following the diet plan. Thank you Melinda

Update:  
#1.  I am also taking SAMe (first thing in the morning on an empty stomach).  
#2.  One hour later I take the NeuroLink.  
#3.  Until a few days ago, I had also taken a type 1 & 3 Collegen powder mixed in water.  This was one hour after taking NeuroLink.
#4.  One hour later I eat breakfast followed by Brain & Body Max.

Collegen is mostly Amino acids (11 grams per serving).  This eventually produced the flushing sensation, which resulted in my decision to cut back on the NeuroLink.  I will try taking more water with the SAMe & NeuroLink.  Hopefully that will eliminate the strange sensations.

How do I feel?  My ability to selectively remember whatever I wish to bring to mind has improved substantially.  My mind is improving in focus and speed of learning.  Still not as good as when I was in graduate school — a time when I was able to easily master my studies, learning quickly, thinking quickly and incisively — but closer.  I am also regaining my enthusiasm for living and breathing — no longer just skating by.

Don’t know it.

if you are living below the poverty line I don’t see how you can afford more supplements. I try to eat an ideal diet which does the most for me. I am taking neurovite plus. I feel good and have sold my house, moved to the East Coast via rental truck, did all the packing myself and readying the property for sale myself. I am older than you, a woman,  and I believe firmly that age is an attitude. I think  the extra exercise involved was good for me. Meditation is an excellent way to improve ones mental state.
