Bacopa
KEEP CALM AND FOCUS ON
As a plant that has been used in traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine, it’s been used throughout history to today to primarily address cognitive function and stress responses involving the nervous system. As a powerful antioxidant, it’s been shown to increase certain brain chemicals that are involved in thinking, memorizing, concentrating, and learning. Some research shows that it might also protect the brain cells from chemicals associated with Alzheimer disease.
As more people turn to herbal medicine, Bacopa Monnieri is becoming increasingly popular as a nootropic aid. Study participants noted a sense of wellbeing and calmness from Bacopa with short-term use, however, studies showed that beneficial cognitive effects of Bacopa are typically seen after 6-12 weeks, with better results seen with long term use*.
