Down with supplements!
A lot of people buy intelligence supplements for their kids, especially during exam time(e.g.Brand's Essence of Chcken). But is it really necessary? No one knows whether those supplements really work. Down with supplements, I say. We should not depend on supplements to increase our intelligence(not that they do). Instead, we should study hard for our examinations and receive good results by our own efforts, not with supplements. What if your child consumed a supplement before an exam and got good grades? They will feel that their results are not their own results and feel depressed that they might not receive as good grades without those supplements and so will want to buy more and more supplements which is a waste of time and money. What if the company stops producing those supplements? Your child will feel unprepared to sit for the examination and will not be as confident of success which will work against them. So, stop buying intelligence supplements.

  1. I agree with you. These intelligence suppliments have not been proven to work. And even if it has, many people would be buying these supplements for consumption. However, it is too good to be true if that happens. Nothing comes free wihtout hard work.

  2. You are right Howard, taking these supplements are just a belief that it would help out in our examinations. However, it works sometimes as these supplements help to spurt us up and keep us awake and thus more focused. However, we should not just depend on these supplements to do well in our examinations. Instead, we should study hard like what you said.
