Japan develops brain and eye pills for gaming fans

[Demon_Skeith]

Gaming addicts with sore eyes and tired brains may be able to perk up with "Game Suppli," a new Japanese supplement developed specifically for the country's thousands of fanatic players.

"We concentrated on developing a supplement for those who love games," reads the advert for the pills on www.cybergadget.co.jp, a Web site that sells a range of accessories for video game fans.

Maker Kyowa-Yakuhin produces two different supplements for the "Game Suppli" range: blueberry tablets that are meant to be good for the eyes, and transparent capsules containing Docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, a fatty acid that supposedly enhances concentration.

Japan's convenience stores are stacked with drinks and capsules claiming various health and beauty benefits, sometimes without any scientific evidence.

what are the side effects?

I think that if your eyes get sore, you should just stop for a few hours or so.

Sounds like the typical energy supplement (like all those stupid over the counter supplements that give you energy).

They'll develop anything to make money.

I think if you play games till your eyes and brain starts to hurt, you got self-control problems.

Plus, butinging drugs to increase your gaming time sounds lame when you can play less and use the money for more games. Drugs are expensive usually.
