Danielle mentioned she felt like her memory and focus wasn't what it used to be. We talked about different causes and stressors which included the usual job, challenging relationships with her 17 year daughter and MIL and well getting a little older.

I asked what if anything she takes for supplements and pharmaceuticals and learned she hadn't been seen or had labs ran on her blood in about 8 yrs. Nothing wrong with that if your healthy but I wasn't comfortable giving her anything knowing her sisters health.

She eventually got her labs done and they looked wonderful ❤ so I made some memory and alertness pills and shipped them cross country.

Formula includes gingko biloba, ginseng and ashwagandha.

Here's what she says about them "The memory pills work like caffeine for me. I can take those and feel awake and alert without the caffeine jitters."

She doesn't take them everyday and has switched jobs since this started but is happy with the results!

Danielle lives 16 hours away so her thumbs up photo is without me, Bubbles the kitty took my spot.
