User Reviews for bacopa

I took FullDNA's supplement that contains Bacopa Monnieri, during 3 months and my memory and cognitive functions improved a lot. Even my fatigue improved.

I did not expect an herbal remedy to be effective, but it does help me focus better. The first day it made me slightly overly awake, despite the fact that some people find that it makes them sleepy. I could pay more attention while reading by using this. It also seemed to help improve my sleep by keeping me more alert while I am awake (I do shift work and also have always had trouble keeping consistent sleep habits and energy levels.)

I took this for about 14 weeks and never got any improvement in memory, attention or depression in fact I felt worse on it and although that may be a coincidence I am certain it caused hyper thyroid for me (this is a risk for thyroid patients) also horrible diarrhea at the end and hair loss which could be related to high thyroid. Very disappointed that it didn't help because I loathe taking drugs :(

It helps keep me stable mentally and actually more happy through the day. It helps me have regular Nevermind so that’s helps too! I love it

I have been taking Bacopa from Pure Mountain Botanicals at the suggestion of a friend. My attention, focus, memory have all improved. My only problem (and Im not sure it's caused by Bacopa) is I have trouble sleeping. Anyone else??

If you decide to take Bacopa Monnierri or Brahmi, then be AWARE that all the studies out there have the people taking this for 12 weeks before testing mental performance. The scientists speculate that it causes the neurons in the brain to grow more dendrites,etc. I plan on taking this soon because I am convinced it works since I have read several Human studies. Look for those that have shown effectiveness in humans because many times the supplements work in rats or rabbits but NOT humans.Read More Read Less

My son is the user. I have to have friends from Kerela India bring in the powder. He had cognitive problems caused by Limes Disease that was fortunately treated within 2 weks of the "bulls eye". He is a Baptist minister that has to be able toi think on his feet. He feels Brahmi really helps

I have been taking for over two years a health supplement with Bacopa extract as its main ingredient. I've noticed a considerable improvement in my short-term memory and ability to focus. It's a lot easier to remember names and facts, and I don't lose my train of thought in conversation any more. It's easy to take--just two veggie capsules a day. I'd highly recommend it to anyone considering ways to improve short-term memory and focus.

The Web MD review is very behind the research. So much scientific research has been done in India, and India's science is not fraud science, it's the real thing. Why allopathic researchers claim "little scientific evidence," in India there is vast amounts. I am 71 with hyper-thyroid issues, and bacopa does NOT speed them up further, every system is different. My brain was going haywire in the "keeping order" dept, and now my normal orderly functioning is back after one month of taking Bacopa. This helps my brain function better beyond belief! My processing speed and uptake is better than ever, and my memory is great now, and all was faltering badly. I am sleeping better, and anxiety and panic has subsided. I take bacopa with ashwagandha, shatavari and aloe vera. The Ayurvedic herbs from India are the best medicine there is! Few side effects and they WORK. Read More Read Less

I've been taking this for a while and it's helped me quite a fair bit.

This helped me stay focused on the job and perform multiple tasks at the same time. Wonderful!

Using the Himalaya brand. Found it was very strong amount, causing restlessness and rushing to a point of being over whelmed. Good product, and will cut the pill in two or three parts for future use.

No side effects. Feel great no tension sleeping very well. This is a life saver and much more effective and safer than prescriptions cheaper too. Helps balance dopamine levels and memory.

Bacopa powder by Banyan Botanicals...tastes TERRIBLE, but in combination with Ashwagandha taken faithfully for at least a month, the effects are JUST AS GOOD AS AN SSRI WITHOUT ANY OF THE SIDE EFFECTS.

When ever I have the problem of memory I take Brahmi or Bacopa capsules of Himalaya or some other Indian company.I take one 500mg capsule in between food time.I am 59 year old.After using for one week I get the result of improved memory. If capsules are not available I buy liquid extract of Bacopa and take 10 drops in 150 ml water. Then along with memory,I get strong sexual erections also. These are not new experience. Since 5 years I use this. But I will not take Bacopa for more than one month in one go. After few months again when memory problem affects I will again take it. I have noticed no other side effects.

Only used it once. Be careful because it can lower blood pressure drastically. I took one pill (100 mg bacopa extract and 345 mg bacopa leaf in each) -Vitamin Shoppe brand. Ate no bkfst, just did my normal routine at the gym. I got dizzy during workout, nausea, blurred vision, almost passed out in gym restroom. Scary! Got workers to attend me and laid down. Felt like shock almost. Drank a bit of water and half hour later felt better. Got home, checked blood pressure, low like 110/65. Must have been lower at gym. Took about 2 hours to return to 120/80. Start with tiny dose and check. Eat food with it maybe. Read More Read Less

good in panic attacks and anxiety... took himalaya brahmi 250 mg and patanjali sharbat.

The supplement has been doing wonders for me, this year has been tough - personal life and a challenging academic year, and I also have the worst memory and attention span. I hadn't studied a section for an important economics exam (it was a graph with an explanation) - 10 minutes before the exam was the first time I saw the graph and explanation. I just missed an A for the exam and that question made up 25% of the marks - I didn't forget the content, the labels and nor did I panic about the exam. This year's content has been the most challenging (4th year of varsity) yet my marks are looking great. I started taking brahmi this year and I'm never looking back. My results: less anxiety, improved memory and attention span, no side effectRead More Read Less
