Focus Factor is a US-based brand that focuses on nootropics, and has been creating brain boosting supplements for over two decades.
Focus Factor’s main offering is their pill-based ‘Original’ nootropic supplement – specifically designed to improve concentration, focus and memory. They also have an ‘Extra Strength’ version and now a new ‘Max Strength’ version. (Edit: Currently, June 2024, the official site does not offer the Max Strength option.)
Nootropics can be pretty incredible at refining our focus and attention, and even the health and longevity of our brains. We’ve been fortunate enough to trial some of the best nootropics on the market – but where does Focus Factor position amongst the elite?
Here, we put it through its paces with a hard look at the ingredient profile of their Original version, as well as first-hand experience to trial just how effective it really is.
Quick Verdict: Focus Factor
Focus Factor has a high-quality multivitamin and mineral profile. It also contains some good nootropic ingredients in its proprietary blend.
However, they only focus on memory and concentration, and the quantity of each ingredient per serving appears lacking.
We prefer NooCube, which has a much more well-rounded approach to cognitive health and improvement, with potent yet all-natural ingredients that have been carefully curated to give you noticeable results.
The Focus Factor Range
Focus Factor have a streamlined product range, focusing (pardon the pun) solely on cognition.
They offer their Original Factor Focus, which is in the spotlight in this review; a more enhanced, ‘Max Strength’ version, which has some higher dosages here and there, plus a couple more additions; a ‘Brain and Vision’ version that supports eye health, and their ‘Focus Factor Gummies’.
This is actually pretty unusual for a nootropic supplement brand to do.
Most focus on perfecting one product and giving a broad range of benefits, whereas Focus Factor seem to attempt to target particular use cases with each of their different supplements.
They used to have a range aimed at gamers and one aimed at gym goers, and even a children’s range – though it seems since we first wrote this article in 2022, they’ve followed suit and slimmed it down. I think this was a good move.
After all, us customers hate feeling like we’re being sold to, and it seemed their range was trying to market to too many different audiences. The crux of it is, it’s either a decent nootropic or it isn’t, no matter your lifestyle.
So a good move there from Focus Factor.
