Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating
General Product Info
I have to begin by stating this is my fourth Genius Plus supplement review. I have tried their energy, focus (non-cognizin formula), and balance formulae. The highest rating they have received from me is a 3 star review for their non-cognizin focus formula. This was nearly a year ago. This is one of two products they sold at my local headshop in a four pack. The formula includes “organic” lion’s mane, l-theanine, green tea extract, alpha-gpc, KSM-66, phosphotidylserine, and of course cognizin citcoline. Although this product is distributed by Genius Plus LLC, the ingredient cognizin is made and trademarked by “Kyowa Hakko Bio CO LTD.” The front of the package states it will provide improved memory and clarity.
Product Administration
Of course the normal disclaimers are present on the package, including only healthy adults over 18 years of age should consume this supplement. And no one pregnant or nursing should use Genius+ products. This package states a serving size is one full package (4 capsules). It also states to consume the pills with one 12 ounce glass of water. I purchased two of these packages and consumed 8 caps total within 2 hours. I kind of thought I knew what to expect, given I had previously tried their other Focus supplement a year ago and had somewhat reasonable effects.
Product Effects
I did feel a very mild concentration boost, probably about an hour after taking the supplement. I did not feel it lasted very long. At most, I would say the benefits were about 20 to 30 minutes in length, which unfortunately is not even long enough for me to receive a benefit on an exam or single study period. I am glad it did not come with a caffeine crash though (no caffeine formulae are always better for the mind and body in my opinion).
Final Thoughts
I was hoping this cognizin formula would be the best of the Genius+ product line, however, it still received only a 2 Star Fat Sammy Rating. I would not recommend this version of their formula, though I am not sure they still make their other focus supplement (despite that one only receiving a 3 star rating in itself). The package looks cool and is easy to read but ultimately does not reseal and is rather cheap. This product has only popped up in my local head shop occasionally, so I assume it does not regularly sell very well either. Sorry, Genius+, but there are definitely better nootropics products out there, especially for focus!
