I am experimenting with this new supplement when it get's to me called "Feed my Brain" from a company I am with, in combo with the Adderall XR to see how it help's. Hoping to get off the Adderall completely. Going to sh my Dr. in a week what it is and get approval. The supplement is all natural and help's memory , focus, concentration, and even has helped e with raising their IQ's. These are studied, documented cases. not saying it would do the same for everybody, but it very well could. I am also taking Omega's 3,6,9 and Lecithin, and cal/mag with a good Vitamin supplementation. And also trying a Healthy Energy drink another friend of mine's son taking who is 17, who it is helping with mental clarity and focus also. Sound's promising. Anything natural is the way to go for me!

Always willing to look at stuff, but I cannot easliy locate a link on there page where tells what's in it, the ingredient list. Fist off, makes me skeptical if I cannot find out what's in it and am forced to make a conclusion without that info readily available. If you know where I can find it, butterfly, can you PM it to me, please?

I've clearly got too much time on my hands:

What bothers me is that A. Lisa Welchel is shown as a spokesperson and FMB user. B. Along with their buy it now links, there's a link so you can start selling it yourself. I can't help think Amway. C. Several sites lack a "contact us" page.

However, I did find one site with contact info and emailed them asking for specific ingredient information.

Should I receive a response with anything noteworthy, I'll be sure to keep you posted.

FYI: ConsumerLab.com has nothing about them whatsoever.

This is a marketable product and company if a person so wishes to market it. I have been involved in Netwroking for 5 eyars now and am wanting to make it my full time profession as there is ALOT of money to be made! Especially with ths company as there is spillover and people are so willing to help there team members. But it is not for everybody.Only for those willingto helpothers with bettering their Health and providing great supplements a sa decent price. I joined to get a discount (I want to try the products) and make money, pure & simple. Amway is purely illegal and a pyramid. To make money off people they sold unconsumable products- Book's, tape', etc. Where there is no "consumable " product you have a "pyramid scheme". Just for an explantion there. I am trying to get off Adderall (though I just started, I know I don't want to be on this stimlualnt long term) and am trying to find a good supplement for my Brain ro be able to function. Maybe raise my memory and IQ as Welchal did. This sound's far fetched but true. You can gowww.tryfeedmybrain.com ( not my site) to check out the label and ingredients.

I agree DeloresMelon, and I am sorry Butterfly, but the info on the weblink you PM'd me just does not add up. I looked at the "research" section and was not impressed. Have you seen it? It shows a pagefull of "research and studies" 4 of which involve their own product. Yes, a couple include the toxicology studies, fair enough. As far as the Schoenthaler papers go (the site says the FMB product was used but Schoentaler states it was simply a vitamin/mineral supplementation) the nutritional supplementation he lists in the study is a completely different formulation than the label on your FMB bottle. This is outright trickery and misinterpretation.

He got higher IQ results with only a vit/min supplement without all the bling in the FMB, which is what brings up the cost, and most of those added ingredients which there is no way they can cram all that into two pills realistically to amount to anything useful, and what's that Gold Dextrin Complex anyways? Mystery Ingredients on a label? The mice survived, but at what cost?? :p

I run most of my supps through ConsumerLabs as well. Most of the companies hand them over for analysis, so that means a lot. Take a peak on there Butterfly, and see what kinds of scary things show up in the supplements out there.

Don't mean to be a downer really, just like to see people go into not only a health venture, but you are making this a business venture as well, and you need to take a closer look at the integrity of this product and company, as it is far from good. :o

I am thinking maybe they are aren't listing ALL of their ingredients (they probably should) because sometimes you have copy cat companies out there who steal the ingredients ( seen it with a company, can't remeber their name but they stole the ingredients that the manufacturer's of Becalm'd used for their product and Becalm'd sued and won), of products out there and rename them for their own use in a company.
Has happened before. I appreciate your concern though, thank you! I really like the pay plan though, so I am sticking to it! I have to believe in the product's to market them so I will use them, especially the Healthy energy drink the same company has. There are enough products out there for us all to choose from, it boil's won to personal choice. I know you probably have your own choices of suplement's, I have never tried this one and I am willing to try almost anything natural as long as it doesn't look unsafe and I know what herbs are in it. If it help's health and ADHD, I'll probably try it as I have tried almost all of them out there! From Diet pills to ephreda, and ADHD supplements. I would encourage you, if you hear of anything else let me know, please! I will let you know how this one works, if you are interested.

Just make sure you research each ingredient. Just because it says natural and herbs, in no way makes it safe.

"I have never tried this one and I am willing to try almost anything natural as long as it doesn't look unsafe and I know what herbs are in it." I took this from your post, Butterfly.

But you don't know what's in it, that Gold Dextrin Complex stuf??? If you "work" for the company, they should tell you so that you can speak knowlegebly about the product to your customers. I don't mean necessarily you, but anyone who is signed up with the company. There are no amounts listed in the "blend" either. Mystery ingredients just don't go over well. Not knowing is a dangerous thing if you plan on taking this long-term. Many herbs/amino acids/whathaveyous are safe short term, but can be very dangerous long-term, in as short as a couple of months' worth. I'm talking SERIOUS danger like organ damage and lifelong health issues caused by this natural stuff, even death. YOu would do the best thing for yourself by knowing what's in it, as delorosmom said, and to research each ingredient to look for short and long term side effects. Those papers listed on the site did not use FMB.

I don't usually spend this much time on an infomercial supplement product, but I post this to benefit other readers who may want to jump on a wagon just because a celebrity says so or there is a glitzy website involved without knowing full well what is going on.

I am done now.

Your are right, Frazzle Dazzle! And I will look into reasearching this product! I just found out about it and joined, so I am relatively new. I know the dangers of certain herbs-here's one- Kava kava can lead to liver damage as scientists are finding out- so you must be careful, but I wouldn't believe everything on the net, good or bad, myself. Theres alot of false advertising as you know! So, with that said, I totally agree with you both! But I research a company before I join and try the product's to be sure they are safe or not before I try them. Doesn't mean i will take this long term if I don't like what's in it. I am not jumping on the wagon because a celebrity is involved, That's not the reason I joine dor am trying the FMB product. I am trying it to see if it effects my ADHD, as any naturaul substance, as long as it is pure and you know the herbs or vitamins in it are safe, I feel 100% safer on a natural supplement than on a medication anyday! At least this will not make my heart race or beat 100 beats per minute and cause me to have a panic attack, that I am sure off! I can eat whatever I like with this, drink whatever I like, not have to wait to go to the gym for the effect's to wear off, so my heart rate is normal when i go.Thats why I want off so desperately!I can relax knowing I am giving something good and nourishing to my body, not harmful...
