It seems like ProSupps has been releasing tons of new supplements. And why wouldn’t they? They are one of the fastest growing supplement brands in the country. Karbolic, TC-F Isolate, Mr Hyde, and Dr Jekyll are some of the hottest supplements available. ProSupps takes no shortcuts when developing supplements, so when I-Focus is released we can expect a high-powererd supplement that is backed by science. Even though I-Focus hasn’t been released yet, we did receive some intel as to what the product is supposed to do and what ingredients it contains.

What is ProSupps I-Focus?

According to ProSupps.com, I-Focus is a “high-powered focal agonist”. An agonist is a chemical that binds to some receptor of a cell and triggers a response by that cell. Agonists often mimic the action of a naturally occurring substance. I-Focus contains ingredients that will help you see clearly, not visually, but mentally. Sometimes when our lives get so busy, a little mental clarity can go a long ways. Between training, dieting, work, and family I could definitely benefit from some mental clarity.

I-Focus contains ingredients that have been clinically proven to support the following:

  • Cognitive Function
  • Enhances Mental Clarity
  • Elevates Mood & Mental Focus
  • Controls Occasional Nervousness

Let’s take a closer look at I-Focus’ ingredients and see if we can dig up any clinical studies as to how the ingredients help improve our focus.
