Can all these nootropic pills and powders really enhance focus

Most don't work (placebo) or have very negligible effects. The chemicals with potent effects have long term negative impact on your mind and body. Chemical enhancement without the discipline to use it will not improve your chances of success.

If you want more information on cognitive enhancement, read published, peer-reviewed research papers/clinical research, not some flunky sales-people pitch promising the new wonder drug for peak performance.

Nootropics are actually dangerous in certain scenarios (not uncommon ones).
However it's not generally documented because they're given to old dying fucks, and you can't tell if it's Alzheimer's worsening or anything else.

I looked into doing nootropics myself few years ago. Looking back I can tell that they wouldn't solve anything, because my lack of concentration was the result of other problems (depression, lack of exercise and bad diet).

My suggestion is to only use Nootropics if you have prooven, physical brain damage. Otherwise start eating well, take some vitamin B's and Ω-3s, and do some cardio.

So they're not really similar to something like adderall? I've taken adderall exactly once and I completed like two weeks of homework in one night and remembered it all perfectly. I've never experienced such clearness of mind. I don't want to go through the hassle of getting a prescription even though I do feel I have concentration issues.
