Anyone tried MEGA-MEMORY or the like?

What were your experiences? I am considering an audio cd like this or Quantum Memory. I am extremely forgetful, maybe stemming from my partying animal days;) It is very frusterating because I can learn and understand things, retain them for a little while, but then if I don't continually use them I lose them (Physics, Diff Eq, and other courses have come and gone in my mind.)

I think I used it but I don't remember I get seem to confuse when they said everyone in the toilet was flushed but not oh well they couldn't see that the rain was coming. I think it worked.

Was that English?

There are a variety of supplements to support brain function, although, unfortunately, few studies show long term improvement. Most mimic or amplify hormones/enzymes in the body then the affects wear off as the body compensates by producing less of that substance/or adapts. Supplements supporting enhanced brain function contain things such as phosphatidylserine, DPA/EPA (fish oils), vinpocetine, SAM-e, lecithin, B-complex and caffeine, to name a few. Since the brain consumes (proportionally) a high amount of calories (and feeds first, so to speak) lack of energy (diet/health) greatly affects concentration/memory. From all that I've read, stimulating neurotransmitters in the brain to increase synaptic activity is like charging a battery but not necessarily speeding up the calculations. I do recommend to all my friends a balanced diet, a good vitamin/mineral supplement and lots of fish oil tablets (to get started.)
As you're probably aware, memory is like muscle. Just as repetition is the mother of skill, repetition applies to memory. To improve memory (which increases neurological pathways and the storage mechanism) one must train one's mind, just as an actor, a good actor, can recall their lines from a play of several years ago. I recommend Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas's "The Memory Book." The key concept is spending time to establish the memory. They use 4 visuals in the acronym 'ASEO' (which, they didn't mention this, means 'hygiene' in Spanish.) It helped me survive college (self-supported, lived alone, did school and work full-time.) Creating a strong memory is work, but invaluable.
