I feel I always have a hard time concentrating. It takes me forever to get things done. Yes, I am a procrastinator but still this is ridiculous. I have never had this problem before. I wonder if I have developed Adult ADD or something. Is there anything out there I can pick up at Walmart or at a health foods store that will increase my focus and help with concentration. Please share.

    fish oil is good you can also take a complex such as focus formula,pomology mind formula or Vitamin Shoppe Recall Support.
    all available at Vitamin Shoppe (I am a assistant mgr there ;) )
  • I might look in to getting some fish oil. I have also heard ginko works well too.

    I'm not sure on the Ginkgo.

    This article is about a year old. There is still a lot of conflicting info out there. Some say yes, some say no.

    I take fish oil supplements every day. I have upped my protein during the day. I take 3mg of melatonin at night before bed per my Doctor's orders (I have Fibromyalgia).

    I think getting a good sleep has done more for my focus and concentration than anything else!

    Fish oil is great for your skin too!

    I have found a B complex vitamin helps me stay focused and gives me some energy. There was just another post recently about B vitamins. Might be work searching for it.
  • Yeah B vitamins have helped me in the past. I even took the sublingual ones you put under your tongue for faster absorption. I need to pick up some more.
