Default Tim's Brain Quicken Update

This question has yet to be answered. I have a hard time believing Tim came up with that formula out of thin air. He had to have had a contract manufacturer with an existing formula. It's not like we are going to steal his idea or his formula. For curiousity sake I would love to know. Is anybody in the know?

Try buying a bottle. It has to be written on the label.

On another note, it is probably pretty easy to guess at the ingredients. Probably some combination of ginseng, and other supplements. I am sure there is no 'secret ingredient' that he came up with. Think of Sobe teas like 'Power' or 'Energy'.

Other ingredients are probably a combination of taurine, caffeine, gaurana, Siberian ginseng, vitamin A, D, B...

The real question I would have is how many people actually purchase his product twice. It is fairly easy to sell your first customer on your product when you have a best selling book. He could sell air in a can with all of the press he gets from that book, this forum, and his other PR.

The ingredients are all listed on the bottle, and on the website (here): http://www.brainquicken.com/ingredients.asp .

If you're familiar with nutrition and sports supplements and have been active in bodybuilding/nutrition/martial arts, etc. for a while, read the magazines and websites, keep up with the latest supplements, etc. then it's not hard to think up a number of supplement formulas that might have an ideal ingredient list for a certain function for which there isn't a similar formula currently on the market.

Also, some of the contract manufacturers provide consulting services in which their scientists will help devise a formula that's supposed to achieve whatever goal you have in mind, and can likely advise you against bad combinations of ingredients, solvency issues, etc.

Hope that helps.
