What are some vitamins to help me better remember & concentrate?

(I'm a guy)

I know there is no magic pill to make me know everything while doing nothing or not putting forth the work to learn however I am looking for some good vitamins to help me. I am in college and there are times where i just zone out or later on completely forget even when i am honestly trying my best.

Right now I am taking GNC's Mega Men vitamins. They are good, but when i miss out on a SINGLE daily pill, I feel like i haven't slept for a week. I just get really tired. I am not sure if the ingrediants are good or not but is there anything stronger or more helpful I can take in this situation?
