Summary |
Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans are believed to suffer from ADD, ADHD or a related cognitive disorder, including men, women and children of all ages. In many cases, the condition may not prevent the individual from leading a normal life, but in other cases action must be taken to address the problem. The makers of AttenGo, a Web based software provider, claim that participating in the company's online programs may improve cognitive function. We will take a closer look at this particular software to see whether or not it may really be capable of addressing the cause of ADD and ADHD as advertised.

| Software at a Glance |
|
This brand of computer software is advertised specifically towards individuals diagnosed with ADD, ADHD and similar conditions, but it also appears to be geared towards anyone looking to improve their cognitive health and function. It appears to be different from most memory enhancement software, however, in that users must log on to the company's main server via the official website. It does not appear to be downloadable to the computer's hard drive, at the time of this review, which means that users must have an Internet connection, preferably a high speed one.

| Software in Focus |
|
The AttenGo program is not classified as a game by the software developer, but as a professional learning tool for those who are serious about improving their brain health and memory. According to the official website, the software provides an assessment of our individual needs, assigns a customized training program and repeats the cycle of assessment and assignment as needed until completion. The software utilizes a variety of learning tools, including questionnaires, charts, graphs and other challenging problems in an effort to stimulate cognitive abilities.
It is true that the brain must be worked out on a regular basis, just like the body must be exercised consistently to stay in shape, but not everyone is likely to respond as well to the AttenGo software as others. Some individuals may prefer oral supplements that contain natural ingredients, including nutrients that the brain needs specifically to remain active and perform at a high level. Alpha GPC is one such ingredient that is highly regarded in the memory enhancement market for its ability to boost Choline activity in the brain, which is essential to manufacture new cells. Other ingredients include Phosphatidylserine, shown to support nerve impulse activity as well as neurotransmitter regulation.

AttenGo requires an Internet connection, but otherwise seems to be fairly user friendly. While the program does require a commitment on the part of the user to be effective, the actual time commitment for the program is quite short. According to the official website, users should expect to participate in up to five sessions of 20 to 30 minutes each every week, for three to six months or six to twelve months. That may seem like a serious time commitment to some, but in reality it is very small amount of time when it comes to what types of results it may be able to provide. Fortunately, the software does appear to be fairly affordable, with a price tag ranging from around $220 to around $330, at the time of this review. This may be quite reasonable in comparison to other similar software programs that may cost thousands of dollars.
|
| Positives |
|
• The software can be accessed remotely with an Internet connection
• The company states that the software may improve cognitive health, as it works to improve numerous areas of the brain
|
| Negatives |
|
• Software approach to improving memory may not appeal to everyone
• It seems that not everyone is impressed with the company’s customer service, though some may be
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
Using computer software to promote better cognitive function and memory enhancement may seem like the more modern thing to do today, as opposed to taking a conventional supplement. However, while some users may respond well to such measures, others may require the support only a high quality supplement can provide, such as better neurotransmitter activity and improved circulation. These factors tend to become more and more important as we age, so taking a proven nutrient based supplement may support better brain health, according to some reports. Those who want to test out the AttenGo software for themselves cannot do so on the official website at this time, but a look at the online testimonials may provide a better idea of what a real experience may be like.
