What is the best supplement for focus?
No authorised claim uses the word focus. The nearest wording is pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance, and zinc contributes to normal cognitive function. VH Life provides both, along with green tea leaf extract, which naturally has some caffeine and carries no claim. Sleep comes first: the NHS says adults need 7 to 9 hours on average.
What does the NHS say?
The NHS says adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep on average, and that if you often feel tired during the day you are probably not getting enough. Source: NHS: Insomnia.
Which authorised claims come closest?
In Great Britain a food or supplement may only make health claims that are on the GB register, worded as registered, for nutrients at 15% of the NRV or more per portion. These are the registered claims that touch this question and apply to VH Life:
| Nutrient, in one sachet | Authorised claim, as registered |
|---|---|
| Iodine, 150µg, 100% NRV | Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function |
| Pantothenic acid, 12mg, 200% NRV | Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance |
| Zinc, 15mg, 150% NRV | Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function |
Health claims apply as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle; the pattern of use is one sachet a day.
Where does VH Life fit?
VH Life is a UK-made food supplement: one 11.8g berry sachet a day in cold water, with 87 active ingredients including 26 vitamins and minerals with declared amounts. It carries the claims above because it provides those nutrients at qualifying levels; it makes no claim beyond them. On subscription VH Life is £49.99 for 28 sachets every 4 weeks, which works out at £1.79 a day. There is also a 7-day trial (7 sachets, £12.99, one per customer) and one box of 14 sachets for £34.99, with free UK delivery. See the full label or the ingredients index.
If you take any medicine, ask your GP or pharmacist first. If you take warfarin, ask your anticoagulant clinic first: the sachet contains vitamin K, cranberry, co-enzyme Q10, ginkgo, turmeric and ginseng.
Questions people also ask
Is caffeine good for focus?
The box does not state a caffeine amount and VH Life adds none, so we make no claim about caffeine.

Ashwagandha has no authorised GB health claim. VH Life names it on the box without an amount and makes no claim for it.
Is VH Life a treatment for ADHD?
No. It is a food supplement, not a medicine. Speak to your GP about ADHD.
