Dr. Larry Cleary's Lucidal-Review
Product claims of McCleary Scientific Lucidal
McCleary Scientific Lucidal is another addition to the nootropic or brain booster segment of the health market. Today, even silicon valley millionaires openly admit to using brain boosters to stay sharp, present and mentally alert. There are numerous pressures in individuals to day to work faster, smarter and to multitask. Most people have the competing demands of a work and home life running through their head the entire day, with the result that social lives are heavily neglected. There is a feeling of having ‘used up’ brain power, despite geneticists telling us that the brain is the most powerful computer known to man. In order to fully utilize the powerful computers that are our brains, people are turning to the benefits of nootropics more than ever. This review seeks to establish whether Lucidal lives up to its claims.
The manufacturer asserts that their supplement polishes and increases mental focus, processing speed, concentration and clear thinking while also enhancing mood, lessening anxiety and reducing depression. Overall, a feeling of renewed mental zest is the claimed result. As a vitamin supplement, Lucidal is specifically marketed to older users who may fear mental decline, weakened memory abilities and slower cognition.

As far as including beneficial ingredients go, this product comprises almost everything. The question is: do they synthesis better bundled like this, or in select, smaller compound groups? In other words, do small amounts of everything produce a good effect?
A singularly good inclusion which stands out and is missing in most other nootropics is Ginkgo Biloba. Ginkgo has been widely used in the Far East for eons. Its benefits include improving sharpness, recall, general memory creation and retention and increased mental vitality. Most people report an instant lift and measurably faster sense of their brain ‘working’ once they’ve taken Ginkgo Biloba.
Again unfortunately, the reservation with this formula concerns how much benefit it will be with standout ingredients lost in a sea of compounds. This is worse for those who may already be on vitamin and nutrient regimens, who may as a result feel little impact. In addition, the combination of so many compounds cannot be assumed to be safe. At minimum, some consumers could be be overstimulated mentally and feel jittery as a result of the influx of so much into the body at once.
Dosage Instructions
One capsule per day with water up to a maximum of 3 capsules.
Cost and Guarantee
Lucidal is available on Amazon for $69.99. There is a 30-day returns policy but with natural-based nootropics and broad-spectrum vitamins this is not enough time. The guarantee relates only to the product and not its effects - you can only return unopened bottles. Actually, this renders any guarantee ineffectual.
Summary Of Our Lucidal Review
The inclusion of Ginkgo Biloba is a plus but the approach in Dr. Larry Cleary’s Lucidal formulation seems to be a one-size-fits-all approach which is unlikely to meet the targeted needs required of a brain booster. In addition, because the amounts of each compound are likely to be small, it may be simply a matter of time before each individual acclimatizes and sees no benefit at all. In fact, this is exactly the case according to some consumer reviews, although others are excellent. In singular cases people complained of feeling jittery.
The guarantee is weak for such an expensive product and there are nootropics on the market with more well-thought out formulations, backed by solid guarantees.
