I looked at it's site. It contains Caffeine. Caffeine doesn't enhance mental performance unless you are tired. I think he is talking about stuff like Ritalin,Adderall or Modafinil.

Knowitallacetamol. Over the counter. Twice daily. Proven to increase intelligence and capacity to remember things by up to 50%!

...Sorry for the pointless contribution loll


FFS that isn't actually funny. What is even worse is that you missed his point. It isn't about increasing his intelligence. It is about making it EASIER to learn.
Sorry Pocoyo ... didn't mean to cause offense.

I know what you meant, its just on this site its not really ethical to reccomend drugs that can potentially produce harmful side effects (especially prescription drugs or anything illegal).

Tehe, I have to share this little story.

This guy is really worried about his A-Level history exam, hasn't done much revision, so he gets his hands on some kind of performance enhancing drug because he figures it's going to help him out.
The girl who's sitting next to him, (in a kind of peripheral vision kind of way) sees him scribbling away for ages.....and when he comes out of the hall he punches the air with his fist and shouts 'Yeh!! I aced that'...

Turns out he had just been writing his name over and over again, when he thought it was some amazing essay :s-smilie:

Not sure this an entirely true story but it scares me enough.

That's funny but i doubt it's veracity. Unless he was dumb enough to take to much or the wrong ones.

No drugs, no.

A decent amount of sleep (not too little, not too much); decent food; good periods of work interspersed (importantly) with short but real breaks; 'play' time as well as 'work' time. Honestly, all that will do you more good than any drugs. Though it doesn't offer the shortcut you perhaps wanted!
