I haven't heard of Alpha Brain but I'd caution you to be wary of claims that are unverified by 3rd party research. The way these products generally work is they're given a scientific test with a small sample and the data is then mined for a positive result. It's a way of guaranteeing that you have something to sell - doesn't matter at the start what you find, once you've found it you make the claim. "it reduces stress" or "it sharpens your concentration" or whatever it might be. By design you will almost always get something you can claim doing this.

I can't really comment on traditional medicines. They might work, they might not, but in either case it's probably more expensive with less reliability and knowability of the side-effects, if I were you I'd treat traditional medicines as if they were a new as yet untested pharmaceutical drug, unless its effects have been studied to the same extent as other medicines.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
