Because I work 12 to 14 hours a day, it’s important that I’m full of energy and completely alert even after four o’clock in the afternoon. I’ve been consuming OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ ever since they were launched: they’re now my regular meal of choice in the afternoon. Sure, I’ve noticed that I’ve clearly recovered my old powers of concentration over a longer period, particularly when my performance was just about to flag, but it’s the slight taste of Coke which I like best of all.

Until now I’ve always tried to keep myself awake and mentally alert in fairly stressful situations at work by drinking coffee. In the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ I’ve not only found a perfectly adequate replacement but can also stave off those slight feelings of hunger between meals. The OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ has helped me cut down on coffee and completely earned its regular place on my desk. All in all I now feel much better for having changed round my afternoon eating habits and indulgences over the past few weeks. Although I don’t have any medical evidence to prove it, somehow the BRAIN BAR™ also has a number of other positive side effects in addition to improving my concentration. I can’t explain what it is exactly, but I simply feel better. And what makes me feel good is good enough for me!!!!

I first came across the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ at a late phase in its development when I was invited to give my opinion about its taste, effect, appearance and packaging, etc. Obviously, as a health-conscious person and in particular a weight conscious woman I take great care about what I eat – especially between meals – and in this sense the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ is just right for me! I completely agreed with the decision to go for the white yoghurt coating instead of chocolate – it doesn’t just make the bar seem lighter, it actually is lighter! With only 173 kilocalories the BRAIN BAR™ doesn’t weigh you down as much as other energy enhancers, but it still tastes delicious. I myself have a dispenser in my office and on long, strenuous workdays the BRAIN BAR™ helps me get over times when my concentration flags, particularly in the afternoons. On some days my OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ even have to replace complete meals, which they do effortlessly. In any case, for my colleagues and myself this little “booster” has become an indispensable part of everyday working life!

I was able to ascertain that I eat OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ because they give me a little boost between meals once I start feeling a bit jaded. I was able to ascertain that I eat OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ because they satisfy my hunger over a long period of time even though they contain few calories I was able to ascertain that I eat OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ because they are made from natural ingredients and are healthy for me. But what I know is that I eat OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ because they simply taste out of this world.

My relationship to OCTAIN® is very special because OCTAIN® has managed to ban two things from my life: my 10 am “black and neat” espresso and my “postprandial Red Bull”. Even my “I can drive for longer Red Bull Light” has failed to survive ... and believe me, that’s really saying something! I went through a period when I had to note down EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING. I had notes all over the place… notes on my mobile, Post-its on my desk pad but after trying out the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ for about two weeks I noticed that I no longer had the need to write down all these “reminders”. It gave me a great feeling of security to know that I can once again rely on my memory. The effect leaves me in no doubt! Thank you!

Speaking as a former competitive athlete and member of the Austrian national rowing team, enhanced performance – particularly at international sports events such as world championships and world cups – has always been an important aspect in my life. This also held true when I studied international business administration in Vienna and still holds true in my current job. In other words, mental and physical well-being is the most important factor behind attaining enhanced personal performance. In the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ I’ve found the perfect snack for between meals: it meets my high requirements and is a great help in boosting efficiency! Enhanced powers of concentration, motivation and fewer pangs of ravenous hunger – I just can’t imagine how I could ever do without the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™!

Bought it – ate it – was delighted. Ever since my first OCTAIN® I’ve been an enthusiastic customer, because the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ has helped me get through long, tiring and intensive nights of study and keeps me cheerful, alert and concentrated at work. I really can’t think of going without OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™, no matter where my future life takes me.

The OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ opens up a good, innovative path towards functional food and brain food. The taste is interesting, just like the packaging – what I also find interesting is that after you eat one or more OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™, your blood sugar levels don’t immediately begin to fall as they do in the case of most muesli bars (which is what makes you feel hungry again). Instead, the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ makes you feel full for much longer – and that came as a very positive surprise to me! Keep up the good work and good ideas!

Fairly original packaging, a funny ant called Octavius and a bar that not only tastes delicious, but also achieves its full effect especially through the use of natural ingredients: yes, the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ simply won me over! The OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ not only enabled me to concentrate for weeks when I was preparing for an extremely difficult period of exams but has also become my daily snack between meals at the office.

As a freelance trainer I find myself travelling through the whole of Austria. I have to be fully alert not only on the sometimes long car journeys but also during my seminars. I never seem to have much time so I sometimes have to skip meals – in these situations I’m always pleased to have a OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ on me. It keeps feelings of hunger at bay and helps me to keep concentrated.

Being a freelancer I experience a very flexible working time, sometimes extending to very late hours. Distributing mind efforts throughout the day is quite compelling and having at disposal an easy and practical way to enhance concentration is a key factor. The OCTAIN Brain Bar meets my needs. This means I can give a better quality to my work even in longer days and keep a smoother control on my results.

After a long day at work the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ helps me pep up my brain cells again, so I can still put a few reasonable thoughts down on paper even in the late evening.

Tried out your OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™, wow, really cool. I run a business dealing with memory training, so your bar complements it perfectly! Brilliant effect, brilliant layout! Congratulations, it’s absolutely incredible! Also works great in endurance training. Incidentally, the OCTAIN® BRAIN BAR™ is now part of my official Ironman diet this year!
