FQ Foundation Extra Strength is a 100% herbal stimulants and inhibitors-free brain supplement for attention challenges, focus, and mood support.

Unlike the standard “all-in-one” artificially stimulating or inhibiting herbal supplements found on the market today, FQ’s unique formula contains only the foundational building blocks of life – high absorption amino acids, minerals, and vitamins.

The 1,350 mg of key amino acids (DL-Phenylalanine and L-Glutamine), combined with 89 mg of support nutrients (essential vitamins and minerals), are specially mixed to provide a balanced delivery system that feeds and nourishes your brain naturally.

Facts

1) HCF Happy, Calm & Focused Quick Facts

You may think nutrient deficiencies are a thing of the past, experienced only by sailors on long sea voyages. But even today, it’s likely to lack the essential nutrients your body and brain need to function optimally.

Nutrient deficiencies alter bodily functions and processes at the most basic cellular level. These processes include water balance, enzyme function, nerve signaling, digestion, and metabolism. Resolving these deficiencies is essential for optimal cognitive growth, development, and function.

According to HCF Science, FQ Foundation Extra Strength is upheld by valid science[1][2][3][4] on its unique formulation and highly effective delivery system.

As a result, unlike the typical herbal-based brain supplements that artificially stimulate or inhibit cognitive functions and trick your brain into feeling something, FQ’s formulation can naturally feed key “feel good” neurotransmitters and the hypothalamus (balancing your endocrine system as a whole)[5][6][7].

2) Who Makes HCF Happy, Calm & Focused

FQ Foundation Extra Strength is made by HCF Science, a family-owned business founded in 2001 and headquartered in Miami, Florida. HCF Science is the researcher, distributor, and online retailer of their scientifically formulated FQ amino-acid supplements.

For decades, the company has been an advocate for quality and transparency in the supplement industry. Following their rigorous testing standards, all HCF Science finished products are tested for 65+ tests of identity, purity, strength (potency), and composition, although GMPs only require a fraction of those to be mandatorily performed.

As for transparency, all HCF Science supplements are tested by a 3rd party lab for purity and potency, and the company offers Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for all its products, which include detailed information on what they test for and the actual lot-specific results.

Any customer can simply track the lot number of its product and see the third-party testing results for that product.

4) Does HCF Happy, Calm & Focused Work?

FQ Foundation Extra Strength is different because of its unique formulation based on two key amino acids and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).

Most of today’s attention, concentration, focus, and mood support supplements work comparable to multivitamins in an “all-in-one” approach, or like synthetic stimulants and herbal extracts that either stimulate or inhibit your neurotransmitters into feeling something.

Developing these types of brain supplements is common in today’s industry because many consumers want instant results. Typically, potent nootropic ingredients (i.e., Caffeine, Bacopa Monnieri, CDP-Choline, Creatine, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, or Piracetam) can offer quick boosts in cognitive power, focus and attention.

However, the benefits don’t typically last for too long. This short-term approach may be appealing to some consumers (for instance, to students who need an instantaneous cognitive boost before an important exam). Still, most users should be more interested in long-term gains.

Amino acids are taking the health community by storm, and it’s no wonder why. These building blocks are more than just brainless Lego bricks; they’re intuitive powerhouses that reorder, refold, and rebuild in ways even the brainiest humans can’t predict or replicate. Amino acids truly are the building blocks of life.

DL-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid (only comes from outside food) of tremendous nutritional importance[9][10].

Much like other amino acids like L-Alanine, Arginine, and Leucine, Phenylalanine is considered an essential building block used to form the proteins that your body needs to function and thrive.

Phenylalanine is a known nutritional precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (EPI) and involved in the release of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), which can sensitize endorphin receptors to endorphins[11][12].

These neurotransmitters actively support warm feelings of love, pleasure, happiness, alertness, energy, motivation, memory, attention, internal calmness, and sleep[13][14][15][16].

Studies prove that DL-Phenylalanine plays a crucial role in attention and cognitive recognition.

In one clinical study[17], urinary excretion (24-hr) of beta-phenylethylamine (PEA), phenylacetic acid (PAA), phenylalanine (Phe), and p-tyrosine (Tyr), and plasma levels of PAA, Phe, and Tyr were examined in 18 normal children and 26 children diagnosed as having attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The results indicated that urinary excretion (expressed per gram of Creatinine) of free and total PEA was significantly lower in the ADHD patients. The plasma levels of Phe and Tyr were also decreased in the ADHD subjects compared with the normal controls.

L-Glutamine is a conditional amino acid (only sometimes produced by the body)[18]. A precursor to the neurotransmitter glutamate in your brain, L-Glutamine is key to boosting your brain health.

It helps the mind relax and “tone down” unwanted “mind chatter,” which can sharpen a person’s ability to focus and concentrate with more clarity[19][20].

L-Glutamine also serves as a secondary fuel source for cellular energy and helps produce other essential compounds, including glucose and purines (the building blocks of DNA)[21].

The B-Vitamins Complex (particularly Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12) make things happen in the brain. As the building blocks of a healthy body, B-Vitamins directly impact your energy levels, brain function, and cell metabolism.

They play a crucial role in overall brain function, from regulating energy release in brain cells to their primary function, which is to facilitate the action of neurotransmitters. These chemical messengers transfer information between over 100 billion neurons[22][23].

Lastly, we have the five essential minerals. In sufficient amounts, minerals such as Magnesium, Zinc, Calcium, Iron, Chromium, Manganese, and Potassium are indispensable for optimal brain function.

Alongside B-Vitamins, these minerals represent another set of brain savers. They are all minerals derived from the earth and primarily absorbed from fruits and vegetables.

As much as vitamins, these minerals play a significant role in supporting our brain health. They regulate nerve transmission, control hydration, and power the metabolism[24][25].

Safetiness

6) Is HCF Happy, Calm & Focused Safe for Everyone?

Given the common nutritional deficiencies with amino acids FQ (DL-Phenylalanine and L-Glutamine) in FQ Foundation, some users may experience an initial adjustment period with minor side effects while their chemistry rebalances. This period of adjustment is rare and normally only lasts three to ten days. Some of these adverse effects could temporarily include[26][27][28][29]:

  • Mild headaches
  • Irritability
  • Increase in libido
  • Tiredness

If any of these effects seem too difficult, simply lower your dosage. If these effects do not improve in a few days, if they worsen or experience any severe side effects, discontinue use and contact your physician.

Cautions

7) What You Need to Know Before Taking HCF Happy, Calm & Focused

Individuals with a known medical condition that requires medication, including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or individuals under a physician’s care, should consult a healthcare professional before taking FQ Foundation or any other dietary supplement.

Pregnant women or nursing should consult a medical doctor before taking FQ.

For children and teenagers under 18, consult a physician for approval, supervision, and determining the appropriate dosage.

11) What Users Are Saying

"I thought my 8-year-old son had ADHD. We tried countless medications with no luck. They either made him grumpy and intolerant, or they jacked him up more. I did many hours of research and started to wonder if he didn't have ADHD. ( Which a doc told me he was) I found these, and they have helped him in school and be a much more pleasant human being."

---Adrienne 84

"I'm at a point in life where I would like to be participatory in my overall health. I'm a 53-year-old male with long-term spinal cord issues, and frankly had started to think the way I felt on most days was "just how it was…" I ordered FQ and a few other supplements, basically just to say I hadn't given up. I began taking 3 capsules, as indicated, in the morning. Within 2-3 days, I must admit I was feeling better. I do not know whether this is a placebo effect as I haven't yet finished my first bottle (which I paid for, incidentally). It has been about 3 weeks now, and I still feel "better" although I really couldn't say "how" or "why"….and one of the best things I've discovered is that I am sleeping better than I have in a long, long time."

---Robert Hempstead

"I'm 41 and have taken a variety of supplements over the years, but this is the first brain supplement that I have tried, and it is interesting. I started slowly and now take 1-2 caps on an empty stomach before bed and 2 caps when I wake up around 4 am or 5 am (I rarely sleep through the night). On my drive to work around 7:30 am, I do indeed seem happy and calm but not tired at all." [Read full review]

Does it Work

12) Bottom Line – Does It Really Work?

FQ Foundation Extra Strength has consistently surpassed our expectations and stands out against competitors in the amino acid brain supplement category of supplementation.

HCF Science’s innovative approach to brain supplements for attention challenges, focus, concentration, and mood support is what makes FQ Foundation surpass its competition, especially when it comes to feeding and sustaining your brain naturally, without the use of stimulants or inhibitors.

Herbs and nootropic ingredients have their place and could be the more suitable choice for those looking for a quick boost in cognitive functions (i.e., students before an important exam, CEOs before an important presentation, or busy professionals who just need that extra kick to help them finish an important task).

But herbs and potent nootropic stimulants or inhibitors can’t correct nutritional deficiencies. Not to mention that most stimulants (i.e., Caffeine) are typically associated with unwanted side effects and crashes after their effects runoff.

That’s what makes FQ Foundation Extra Strength the better choice for people looking to nourish and support their brains in the long term.

Additionally, HCF Science has collected over 120+ documented experiences from professionals worldwide, which is definitely unique in this industry. Not quite the “product owners, friends, and family fake testimonials” that we see all too often when reviewing products/companies here.

But when we see HCF Science go to lengthy measures to gather feedback on their form with full tracking (attached profile images, documented, time-stamped with IP address and kept on file for 3rd party verification) and then displaying the 120+ professionals, it’s worth our respect.

My only issue w/HCF is that it doesn’t contain tryptophan or 5-HTP for making serotonin, HCF’s main ingredients phenylalanine and glutamine do not make serotonin. I just take tryptphan on the side to solve that issue. However, I definitely feel more motivated and my sex life has improved thanks to the DA.

These ingredients help promote the body’s natural ability to bring on serotonin production and the body’s use of it. The body can take care of these things with the use of the sun, clean air and water. When pathways are open then the sun/light takes care of unseen processes. The energy produced can be subtle. It builds upon itself, opening or making pathways, it can take some time , if time allowed to us. That’s why we try to be well and stay well. And that is not of ourselves. SAE

Ok, first of all… NO THANK YOU! I found many of its ingredients in various protein drinks as well. Not surprising! As a matter of fact, brain supplements are nothing more but a bunch of vitamins and amino acids and they cost an arm and a leg!

HCF is an amino acid supplement (90% amino acids and 10% vitamins and minerals). The vitamins and minerals are merely co-factors that allow the aminos to get absorbed by the body. I tried protein drinks but they never had the effect that HCF has on me.

Hi!

There is a vast difference between a high-quality brain supplement and a protein drink.

In the case of HCF Happy, Calm & Focused, we are talking about a 90/10 formulation: 90% FQ amino acids and 10% delivery system. This formula has proven itself to support BBB (Blood Brain Barrier) penetration and naturally feed key “feel good” neurotransmitters and the Hypothalamus (balancing your entire Endocrine System).

Associated Neuro-Nutrients (10% Avg of Formulation) represent the balanced HCF delivery system. Their concept is that these precise levels of synergistic vitamins, minerals support these two key amino acids to pass through the BBB (Blood Brain Barrier) and nutritionally feed the brain.

As for the price, generally, you’ll find most high-quality amino acid supplements are on the higher end based on the quality level of their nutraceutical-grade amino acids and what forms of associated neuro-nutrients are used. In the case of HCF, “methylcobalamin” is used for their Vitamin B12. This is a costly option when, generally, companies use a cheaper option like “cobalamin.”

My nephew was doing pretty bad in school he just strugled badly with attention. He wasnt slow or stupid he just couldn’t keep interested in anything long enough to excel at it. After 2 months on Happy Calm Focused he is doing tremendous. I suggest anyone with children that have attention or focus difficulties to give this product a good shake.

I decided to try HCF after one colleague told me about this product. I do feel a change in my nerves not nothing like a huge improvement. I would give it a 7/10.

No1Mom

Everyone is different and the supplement doesn’t work for some people for whatever reason maybe they have conflicting diet or vitamins. If you wanted to be helpful to potential customers you should have given some details though. Your feedback dosnt help anyone and makes me think you’re just upset at the product.

For my boyfriend and I Happy, Calm & Focused is the right name for this product because it has helped us both in our work and our relationship. I can see it in him how he is more positive and\ cheerful. I would recommend anyone to try this product.

I didn’t feel “happy” either but I did feel more focused and a little calmer. The biggest thing I noticed was that I felt really motivated, I was actually doing stuff that needed to be done w/out procrastinating. Lithium orotate however did make me feel happy.

Thank you Tami for your kind words. It is truly an honour and priielvge to get to know the many individuals and organizations doing such great work in our community. I too was impressed at the AGM with the sense of commitment from HCF Board members and staff. We have benefited enormously from the leadership of Lindsey George and will now have the pleasure of working with Gary Warner who brings such a wealth of experience and wisdom to the position. Our community has many challenges but what was reflected at our AGM is some of the many assets we also have to help take those challenges on.

Well its posted.. :-) Yes, we are affiliates of hundreds of products on our site as we clearly document. If you understand the internet, almost every company has affiliate programs for their products. Who could afford to hire nutritional experts like we have to test and analyze brain supplements and provide the results on a first-class website for free? If you could, you probably would be doing it yourself right? We are passionate about our research and the truth of brain supplementation, but we have to get paid for it just like you do with your job or business and we do not believe in paid banner advertising choking up the website. We could have chosen hundreds of products as the top 3, but for now, we chose this particular product as the leading product because of our testing results, the amino acid formulation, and customer feedback. But as with any research, its only the starting point for consumers – they have to do their own research as to what is best for them. No product is for everyone.

This supplement has transformed my life. As a student done with college, I am only just realizing that I have trouble concentrating and focusing. Since I always did so well in school, no one ever caught the problem, but I find it really difficult to complete any task in a timely manner without drifting off. With this supplement I am much more focused now.

As a finance executive, I have to switch from a detailed approach to a broad perspective countless times during the day.

Here is a small tip for you: if swallowing is a challenge, simply open the capsule into a 1 oz glass of water, drink it, and then follow it up with an 8 oz. glass of water. The solution is virtually tasteless.

Hope this helps.

I never thought results would be quite so visible. However, since I started the use of HCF my brain is focusing more on things and I feel very energetic. Another positive aspect is that I haven’t experienced any side effects. I use 4 capsules every day and they give me all the energy and focus I need for the entire day.

Since I started taking HCF, I completely gave up on coffee and energy drinks. This supplement gives me all the energy I need and keeps me alert even during the days that would have usually worn me out.

After my 55th anniversary, I slowly started feeling the mental effects of getting older. I forgot things all the time, I couldn’t concentrate the way I used to and I lost my temper in a matter of minutes, especially with my grand kids. I can honestly say that HCF helped me get back on track. I gained my lost focus back, I have more patience and I’m in a much better mood, which reflects on my relationship with the other members of the family. I can’t recommend this product enough!

I work very long hours, so I usually find it difficult to concentrate after 2 or 3pm. I don’t drink coffee or energy drinks, because I don’t think they’re healthy, so I started looking for something to give me a natural energy boost, without any jitters or unpleasant side effects. HCF has been a life changer for me. I’ve become more productive and my mood has improved significantly since I started taking my daily dose of HCF. I have a greater sense of focus and drive, which reflects in my work performance. Highly recommended!

I am usually pretty skeptical of anything that promises everything but the moon and the stars, because it’s usually just a scam and, in the case of supplements, it might even make you feel worse. However, I decided to give HCF a try because it had so many positive reviews and one of my friends said she vouched for it, too. In my case, it took about 2 months before feeling a difference, but in 3 months the difference was life changing. I found myself to be visibly less stressed and frustrated, I slept much better and I could tick off every point on my daily tasks list.

I started taking HCF 2 months ago. I took the recommended dose for over 2 weeks until I slowly started noticing a difference.

I could tell difference 2 weeks after I started taking this supplement, though it’s very likely that most people won’t notice the difference that quickly. My mood had improved visibly and I really felt more calm and focused. Now, nearly two months later and without any other significant changes in my life, I can actually say that I’m feeling happy, I rarely lose my temper if at all and I have enough patience to handle all the house chores that I hated before (I’ve got 4 kids, so this should give you an idea).

The product is fine…but when I wanted to cancel my order (due to financial reasons)…it took a few tries get in touch with their customer support. Nothing to complain about HCF…just they customer support can be a little bit more responsive. Thank you

I would like the free sample of this product to try on my daughter who is 12 years old. She has attention issues and can’t do more than 1 or 2 things at a time. She is very moody, easily angered hard to live with sometimes very negative. We adopted her from foster care when she was 8 but have had her since she was 5. I have done only natural things and would like to try this and see how well it would work for her.

A lot of people eating habits depend on there moods. When they are sad or anxious for example people tend to turn to food to make them feel better, so I assume that if you are happy and calm you are less likely to resort to the bag of chips and soda or chocolate.

I used to have issues with my focus, especially in the morning, but now i managed even to quit drinking coffee thanks to the supplement, it keeps me in a high alert state for a longer time and without any stress.

I think it’s a matter of personal preferences. The way their subscription plan is build convinced me to try and keep use it. It did wonders for me and for my husband.

I was ready to order my “free month trial” until I realized it was for a monthly program UNTIL you cancel after receiving 14 days, + 1 week of allowed shipping (21 day total) of free HCF. Two weeks was a decent offering for $9.95, but not an automatic program thereafter. If the product is as good as people are stating why must I opting for monthly payments. Let me decide. Why give me the hassle of canceling if I feel differently. Too bad, I would have liked to try it.

Almost all the top supplements offer a monthly program, but HCF is the only one offering a trial. Also notice its a “free month trial” which you are trying out their monthly program. If you want to try the product itself for free, nobody does that as far as I know. Plus, supplements are designed to be taken regularly so it makes sense to automatically sign up for a monthly program.

Unfortunately, free trials or free product samples are not common in the supplement business and what you are describing is a common practice WHEN such an offer is available. The FREE TRIAL ($1.95 S&H) offered by HCF Science company today stands out for being more customer-friendly. You receive a 7-day free trial of FQ Foundation Extra Strength. The offer is valid for U.S. customers only (limit 1 per household).

As for the Subscribe & Save program, you can cancel it at any time either via email or by phone at (305) 306-1603. HCF Science always notifies customers by email prior to Subscribe & Save enrollment or processing any payments.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

thanks for this information. I noticed that i would get headaches to and I was wondering if it was a coincidence or not

According to HCF AminoScience, you may experience some minor side effects as you acclimate to this formula, and headaches are one of these potential side effects. Our recommendation is to lower your dosage. If the headaches do not improve in a few days, if they worsen, or if you experience any severe side effects, discontinue use and contact your physician.

To Rickles

The company offers a discount if you buy like 3 months 6 months and even 1 year supply. The discount is pretty significant too.

you also need to understand that not everyone experiences the same types of results from hcf while most resuls are positive some are stronger than others because everyone is different

If you’re looking for a miracle supplement that eases all your troubles, this isn’t it. But if you’re realistic and want something that can make you feel better, like relaxed and focused, then this is what you want.

R.T. hit the nail on the head, I couldn’t have said it better myself. People need to understand that this supplements helps your body do what it should naturally, it isn’t going to make you feel high… just make you feel right.
