Review
Summary |
Many people have seen the brain boosting games available online, in books and in electronic games to help people keep their brain function at optimal levels, and while these games may be fun, they often require a fair bit of time, which few people have with today’s busy lifestyles. Luckily, there are some really effective holistic products available that may help people maintain and augment their cognitive function quickly, effectively and safely.
Memory Works is a product that has recently emerged onto the market, due to the marketing efforts of its developer Dr. Kyl L. Smith. While there are many formulas on the market, ones like this that are endorsed and created by doctors are often more alluring, but they are not always the most effective choice for cognitive enhancement. In fact, regardless of product’s developer, the only standard that ensures effectiveness is a product’s formula.

The good news is that the formula for Memory Works does appear to be posted online, the bad news is that it is unreadable, which is hard to understand given the professional nature of this website.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
The fact that the formulary for Memory Works is unreadable is really troubling and deprives consumers of the ability to ascertain this product’s effectiveness. This may seem like nitpicking to some readers, but it’s actually not, because a product’s formula is the key to its level of effectiveness. For example, an individual who is concerned that they may have high homocysteine levels, which are seen in dementia patients, would want to use a formula that is rich in B Vitamins, like B12, B6 and Folic Acid, because they have been shown to be able to balance homocysteine levels.
Also, one of the most effective ways to increase both short and long term memory is by increasing Choline levels, and Alpha GPC has shown some stellar results in this arena, as well as showing a propensity for reversing memory damage. So, consumers who want to ensure that their memory stays young and agile would probably want to look for these elements in whatever product they may be considering.

Given the fact that the Memory Works website contains a full array of readable and well laid out product related information, we were rather surprised to see that its formula was the only section that was unreadable. So, we actually called their customer service representatives to see what was going on and to get a clear idea of what was used in this formula.
However, we had a great deal of trouble getting through, and when we did the rep could not answer our questions, which was very disappointing. We then did what we suggest readers do and checked out independent consumer driven rating sites to see what former users had to say. On these sites we found that there was a high level of disappointment connected to this product and that former users often suggested taking a pass on it.

| Final Thoughts |
|
Memory Works is a great name for a supplement, and the fact that it is created by a doctor may have some consumers giving it more than a first or second look. However, we were concerned that its formula is the only unreadable part of this website, and that consumers have no idea if it contains effective memory boosters, like Alpha GPC and Phosphatidylserine.
Our experience has been that whether a doctor, a homeopath or a developer crafts a formula, the only way to know for sure that it is effective or not is to check its label for effective ingredients. The fact that this website does not provide this information makes it impossible for us to recommend giving it a try. Instead, we highly recommend that consumers search for other viable options by looking for products that contain safe, effective and proven ingredients. To do so, it may be best to check out some of the popular blog and review sites first to see what others are recommending and warning against. Doing so may save you valuable time and money.
