More Brain-Age thoughts

I was looking at some herbal / drug supplements that promote themselves as being able to help brain focus, improve memory, increase concentration. The over the counter compounds appear to cost $15 to $20 per month. The prescription drugs don't advertise their prices, but are probably more. Classes for improved study skills or helping attention deficit school kids appear to cost hundreds of dollars.

To make matters worse, the FCC filed suit against the company that sold "Focus Factor" and obtained a million dollar settlement for what they claimed were exaggerated claims and overstated benefits. So there is some lingering concern whether or not these various "solutions" will even work as advertised.

The cost of the OTC supplements seems to be the least expensive option. But actually a chess set from www.ChessRight.com is a whole lot less, and does all the same functions without the spectre of drug interaction, exaggerated benefits or FCC lawsuit.

There are many beautiful chess sets at www.ChessRight.com less than $100 and many more are less than $150. Purchase a chess set, play chess regularly and save the $15 to $20 per month that you don't need to spend on brain improvement supplements. Your chess set will pay for itself in about six months. The lifetime of enjoyment and continued benefits will be free.

In the interest of a full legal disclaimer: Reported side effects of playing chess regularly include increased self-confidence, expanded social contacts and improved sportsmanship.
