"Barton Scott's Story & The Becoming of Upgraded Formulas from Upgraded Formulas on Vimeo. Our story at Upgraded Formulas, began with Barton Scott, our founder, a Chemical Engineer who had been lucky to enjoy a constantly sharp mind up to this point in his life. However, this began to shift rapidly in the other direction, and and he began suffering more and more extreme levels of brain fog, memory loss and mental fatigue. How could this be, especially at an early age? He was only in his mid twenties then, and to make matters so much worse, a massive hole opened in his life at the same time, when without warning, he lost someone very close to him to an aneurysm. It was preventable, he knew. And this burned at him. There’s nothing quite like watching one of the people you love the most die because no one, including you, could help her. THAT is a motivating force of extreme magnitude, and that is the main reason why Upgraded Formulas exists today, in it's present form after hundreds of iterations"
