As of recent years video-gamers have demonstrated that they are willing to shell out extra money for anything that may increase their overall gaming experience, like DLC (downloadable content) or those highly criticized loot boxes. Either way the video game business is a booming market and one supplement company is trying to make their mark on that industry. Boss Level Labs has created a brain supplement, GodMode,coined after an infamous video game term, which targets gamers by stating that by taking its pill, the pill will increase one’s ability in video games. The pill promotes that it can increase one’s reaction time to a staggering six to ten percent. Also, the pill can supposedly help someone think smarter and faster.

GodMode suggests that the brain supplement can perform its goals due to the ingredients the pills contain. For the most part, the supplements are made of plant and food extracts. One specific ingredient, theobromine, a common ingredient especially in tea and is suppose to help with reaction time and memory. However, even with these ingredients which Boss Level Labs believe really do aid gamers, there has been much criticism of their supplements.

One questionable detail about the supplement is that it was once promoted as FDA approved, but has recently dropped that term. Also many professors have acknowledged the existence of GodMode and doubt that any such brain supplement can cause such a drastic change in someone. There is also a concern in the amount of caffeine in the recommended dosage of GodMode, which is seventy five milligrams. This causes a concern because these seventy five milligrams is taken in one quick go. There is also, the possibility of the users just experiencing a placebo effect, where the ingredients do not actually affect the user’s performance.

As a gamer myself I instantly became interested in something that could possibly give others a legal advantage in video games. There are too many gamers using hacks to dominate competitively online in video games and perhaps the GodMode supplement could help even the odds. Gamers are always trying to find an edge over the competition too by buying certain peripherals that can help, like fight sticks. However, I am doubtful of a supplement being able to drastically improving someone’s ability. Also, as someone who stays away from drugs unless given medically, I will not be investing in a bottle of GodMode. That should not stop people though, there have been reports of people loving the bottle, its just a matter of how much one is willing to risk to become a better player.
