I have been experimenting and using all sorts of supplements, herbs, nootropics and prescription medications related to concentration, focus and attention span for well over 4 years since I started pursuing my ambitions in education and finance. Along with comparing addtabz vs addieup and profiderall, I have tried at least the following from memory high potency drugs: Adderall, Concerta, Daytrana, Desoxyn, Dexedrine, Dextrostat, Focalin, Metadate, Methylin, Ritalin, Methylphenidate, Vyvanse and others I am sure I am forgetting. The herbs and concoctions of supplements I have tried are also too many to name by memory.This product is just another of many nootropics like over the counter solutions and I guess it falls in its own place. That is, it’s obviously not as strong as the prescription stuff (if you’re expecting that your ignorant by the way) yet is more effective than many of the natural and herbal over the counter supplements and products that claim to help with attention span, focus, energy and concentration. It is marketed like 2 other products I have bought in the last year (Profiderall & Addieup) as an alternative and replacement for Adderall XR. All 3 of these products are kind of gimmicky in the way that they will never even achieve close to the potency of Adderall, which is essentially a hardcore drug (speed) similar to Meth. They are surely playing up to the recent supply and demand disaster of Adderall’s maker Teva’s inability to keep up with the desire for Adderall on the market place.
Comparing Adderall vs. Addtabz
Having tried both, and also logically, the OTC Addtabz product is nowhere near the potency of Adderal… You would have to be naïve to expect such a thing. What the nonprescription thing really has going for it is just that, it provides a boost in focus and productivity without the need for a prescription from a doctor that has given a diagnosis. It is legal to take, and its side effect (yet desire effect) are very mild in comparison. The main ingredient in addtabz is a chemical modification of the prescription drug and the other ingredients are pretty common.
Comparison of Addieup to Addtabz
Addieup is another popular product that is market as a substitute to strong and less available ADHD intended medications. Its ingredient list shows that it’s a mild stimulant (some energy and concentration benefit) mixed with more naturally occurring ingredients that have been shown to slightly (and I say slight) work with the body to create more attention and productivity. I would give the edge to Add Tabz here with its Ampheta CDP ingredient and from personal experience with both of them in close time frame to each other.
Compare Addtabz against Profiderall
Profiderall is another product marketed almost the exact same as Addtabz and Addieup, and to be honest I noticed the least effect from it of the 3. Its ingredients show something similar compared against Addieup… Caffeine, some b vitamins and naturally occurring ingredients that have been shown to cause slightly desired effects in attention, focus, concentration and optimal body function.
In conclusion of the comparison:
I would rate almost the entire doctor prescribed meds as more stimulating and achieving than herbs or supplements. But of the 3 marketed as OTC replacements for Adderall I would order them in effectiveness as Addtabs -> Addieup -> Profiderall… Just have a realistic expectation and not buy into all the hype of the sales letters and marketers pushing these over the counter pills and substitutes.

Addtabz
Best Focus Supplements & Alternatives 
So what are the addieup, addtabz and profiderall ingredients? Erg I can’t find a really throrough and honest comparison between the products anywhere. I think Im just going to order all 3 and try them out for myself and show the world how to do an actual side by side comparison
If you try them please come back and leave your own review and opinions on which worked best and what the different experiences were!
I tried profiderall in the middle of last year and although i liked it quite a bit I thought there was probably something a little bit stronger out there. I found this article looking for some similar pills. While I was looking around the web I also found a couple of even more less known options in AdderX, On It labs Alpha Brain, Prevagen, Focus Factor, Adderllin, Piracetem, etc…
Anyone have any experience with any of these? I really wanted to buy addtabz next as I heard its got more of a strong punch to it, which is what I was looking for after trying profiderall, but finding all these options on the market made me wonder which is really the best value???
– Thanks, JJ
yes there are quite a few options in the ‘brain supplement’ market now and Adderx, AlphaBrain, FocusFactor are just a few of the better known ones. Then there is also an ever growing list of Nootropic ingredients (like Oxiracetam, Piracetam, Aniracetam, Huperzine-A, Phenibut, Phosphatidylcholine, Pramiracetam, Choline, Idebenone, L-Theanine) that have all been shown or examined for their abilities to improve or maintain various brain and nervous system functions in humans.
I’d really like to do a write up on the entire market, but it is hard to give unbiased information without having tried all the available products first hand.
Finally the truth about these OTC stimulants! Thank you. I’m sick of all the hype. My experience with profiderall was nothing like what they say in their marketing. I actually feel asleep from lack of wanting to do anything 30 minutes after taking 2 of the powder filled capsules. If you need a substance for motivation and concentration it’s definitely not profiderall. I have not tried the other 2 mentioned in your article.
Alright so it took some time but I finally tried all 3 of these products. I’m going to compare Alpha Brain vs Focus Factor next as those are 2 really popular ‘brain supplements’ as these should be called intstead of their stupid Adderall, Concerta, Vyvanse Replacment type of marketing.
Addieup: I liked this one, probably most for its price tag, but its potency and value seemed to diminish fast as well. The cheapest of the 3, but I found myself upping the dose frequently to get even close to the original feeling.
Addtabz: Expensive seeming but evened out with the longer lasting effects. Still haven’t figured out the ingredient in this that is different from the others that makes it stay alive and well in my system for hours when the others i wouldve pissed out by then. Probably will get banned in the states for the DMAA in it, my favorite fat burner Oxyelite Pro did and Im furious I didnt have a couple extra bottles laying around for summer preperation months, stock up now if you like this product.
Profiderall: This one seems to be the most well known of the mix, and has been on the market the longest from what I can see, but probably my least favorite. Looks like a great deal at first but then the recommended dosages gets you going at 6 capsules at once and you feel the tolerance to some of the ingredients building up really rather quickly.
Focus Factor Vs AlphaBrain: Going to try these two next, both of them seem to have been around a while now and be marketed more heavily. Ill report back with a follow up comparison of differences of Alpha Brain versus Focus Factor when I have given both a fair shot.
Wow! Thanks, you seem to be serious about finding your favorite supplement? I also am thinking of giving Alpha Brain a shot next, as it has some pretty serious hype behind it. That doesn’t always equate to a quality product, but you tend to see more negative reviews quickly when a product is endorsed by celebrities and hyped, and Onit AlphaBrain doesnt seem to have a substantial amount of bad reviews like other products of the past. Can’t say much about Focus factor, going to read up on it now!
Have you ever considered taking any individual Smart Drug ingredients to do a report? You could buy the powders much cheaper then in stacks and individual products, only ask because you seem to be approaching the search for brain supplements in a thorough and methodical way.
Popular ones include (in no particular order sorry, I would like to do a more appropriate write up of them all soon)
These are also known the help the brain, although in much milder ways:
ALC
Bacopa
Carnosine
Choline
DMAE
Gingko
PhosphatidylCholine
