While most users can benefit from getting a range of nutrients, particularly if their diet is lacking in some capacity, it\u2019s unlikely that they will cure mental illness.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard for us to get behind a supplement that claims it can essentially treat depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, and even autism using these ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly in the case of depression or bipolar disorder, consumers who avoid going to a doctor in favor of taking an over-the-counter supplement may be putting themselves at risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EMPower Plus<\/strong> does contain ingredients like gingko and choline, which truly could have a profound impact on brain health and cognitive function, but we\u2019d recommend these ingredients, and by extension, the full formula to those looking for a supplement to help with brain fog, prevent age-related mental decline or become more productive, not cure a serious mental disorder.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top10-best-brain-supplements\/\">Your crash course in nootropics.

The site also offers other products that may be used to complement this supplement.<\/p>\n<p>It seems this product cannot be found anywhere aside from the website, though the price for a two-month supply is reasonable as compared to other brain boosting supplements.<\/p>\n<p>While there are some good ingredients in the mix, it\u2019s hard to justify purchasing this over a multivitamin, as vitamins and minerals make up the bulk of this product.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top10-best-brain-supplements\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-118320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/EMPower-Plus-compare.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/EMPower-Plus-compare.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/EMPower-Plus-compare-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/EMPower-Plus-compare-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top10-best-brain-supplements\/\">Learn more about the ingredients that will help you stay alert and ready to tackle more during working hours.<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Business of EMPower Plus<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>EMPower Plus<\/strong> is made by a company known as Truehope, and their contact information is listed below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 888-878-3467<\/p>\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong> Box 1565<\/p>\n<p>Fallon, NV 89407<\/p>\n<p>Truehope\u2019s website features a lot of writing, which is very small and hard to read, containing a lot of controversial information and potentially misleading marketing copy.<\/p>\n<p>The site relies heavily on messaging that suggests their micronutrient therapy can cure autism, ADHD and mental illnesses such as depression, bipolar disorder. The site claims that this is the \u201cmost heavily studied supplement of its kind,\u201d but only mentions two researchers who tout micronutrient therapy as a cue for mental illness, which is not a widely accepted theory.<\/p>\n<p>The website posts the following statement at the top of their home page, \u201cAdvanced Natural Medicine \u2013\u00a0Replaces Psychiatric Drugs.\u201d That, in and of itself, is potentially damaging information. The suggestion that people with serious conditions forego traditional drugs is incredibly irresponsible.<\/p>\n<p>There are many articles from online publications like Psych Central, Huffington Post, and others warning consumers about this company, which goes back at least as far as 2004.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s not clear already, we do not recommend this product. There are other supplements out there targeting brain health and improved mental function in a more responsible way. If you have a condition such as ADHD, bipolar or depression, it\u2019s wise to speak with a doctor in order to find the best treatment for you.<\/p>\n\n<h5><strong>Customer Opinions of EMPower Plus<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>There isn\u2019t a huge amount of reviews available online detailing user experiences of<strong> EMPower Plus, <\/strong>but we were able to locate a few impressions people left online regarding this product. Here\u2019s a quick look at what people thought after using this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis product is nothing more than an expensive vitamin. My mood never was changed in any meaningful way. I\u2019m just glad I was skeptical about its claim to treat depression.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI don\u2019t have any mental illnesses, but I noticed this helped a bit with mental clarity and focus. Before, I was having some issues with zoning out or avoiding certain tasks. It\u2019s worth a try, for sure.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI started taking this and immediately experienced headaches and drowsiness, with the headaches getting more intense by the day. It doesn\u2019t accomplish anything it claims to on the website.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Though we couldn\u2019t find too many reviews of this product, we were unable to find any reports that this product can treat depression, anxiety or anything else.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/top10-best-brain-supplements\/\">Take a look at what our experts have to say about using nootropics.

If the makers of this product were advertising <strong>EMPower Plus<\/strong> to users looking to fight stress or improve cognition, we would fail to see any major red flags. As is, the marketing language is misleading and irresponsible.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the website us very poorly designed and hard to navigate.
