I want to go natural but I need to get some feedback.

It's my understanding that Omega-3 fish oil is one of the only things that has any research to back it up.

Be extremely careful if you decide to go natural....

The FDA has strict limitations on what they'll allow to be manufactured and distributed, but there is nothing regulating natural supliments. 

Check with your doctor because some of these natural medications might have interactions with other medications you are taking too (if you're taking any).  Also, if you go to see any doctor or need any elective surgery, you must put these meds. down under current medications.....i just saw a report on this....it was a doctor complaining that most of his patients don't report using natural supliments which causes some medications to be less effective....

good luck!

I have been using DMAE for about a month along with calcium/magnesium/zinc supplements I started in the fall.  No unpleasant side effects.  I don't know how much it is acutally helping, I don't notice any difference in my ability to focus, but I also don't recall forgetting my wallet, keys, cell phone, etc. more than once or twice in the past couple of weeks so maybe there is something to it.
