Have you ever needed a boost to be mentally sharp, or to have more energy and less stress? As a Baby Boomer, I feel like I benefit from better concentration and energy.

So, what is available to help me out?

Most liquids for children come with a plastic cup or some form of spoon or dropper. These are marked, or calibrated, so you can see how much to give, if your eyes are that good.
