I thought of a product the other day in the middle of writing a 30 page paper that was due the next day. My mind was wandering all over, even into some of the most uninteresting of things. The paper I was writing was on a topic I am also semi-interested in... yet I would think about how the little smudge on my comp. screen got there, and how much I like my soft carpet, and how I can move my belly like a belly dancer. I was wasting my time and needed to concentrate.

I decided to get some fresh air by walking down to the Safeway around the corner and getting some lunch. On my way I was thinking of types of supplements, drinks, foods, anything keeping my mind from being stagnent when I got back and sat down in front of my comp.

I walked aimlessly around looking in every aisle at every shelf top to bottom and found nothing I was looking for. The closest of product were energy drinks, but I didn't want a stimulate. This would only exasperate my wadering mind. I ended up buying Vitamin Waters - Focus (knowing it wouldn't help at all). I would have bought anything in the store that said it would improve concentration, brain power, memory, anything. But I found nothing. I was thinking that whatever I bought probably wouldn't work, but it may still have a placebo effect.

So heres my idea for a product:
A drink that contains ingredients such as Asian ginseng with Ginkgo biloba glucose, vitamins B, C, E, beta-carotene, magnesium, etc. that is marketed solely as a drink that helps you focus.

-Why don't I see any large beverage companies offering this type of drink, have they and did it fail?
-Is there small companies making these types of drinks and struggling?

I don't think I'm the only person who has thought of producing this type of drink, and I know I'm not the person who makes up the entire demand for this product. SO WHERE IS IT!!!

-I guess my basement concoction will do just fine for now

Another stimulate, marketed as a "pick-me up drink."

Energy drinks give my wandering mind an adrenaline shot. I don't concentrate, I become a case study for severe ADD.

I find that when I combine Grey Goose with Sprite and Ice I tend to relax and focus a little better....

I guess you could try finding these ingredients and then blending a drink and seeing how it effects you. I think you can get most of that stuff from any GNC or grocery store. Now turning it into a drink with out sugar and all that will be the trick.

Most kids that have concentration problems will just get adderall and if they cant get it from the doctor there just going to get it from there friends.
