Doctor's Best Bacopa with Synapsa, Brain, Enhances Memory, Antioxidant, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten & Soy Free, 320 mg, 60 Count

Bacopa is often used for memory and cognitive function (brain power/clarity of thought). In my experience using it (for myself and for clients) I've found a definite improvement in my short-term memory and feeling more clear headed (less fuzzy, less brain-fog type thing). However, I use it paired with other herbs that have similar effects so that they work synergistically to strengthen the effect (green tea supplement, blueberry supplement, coQ10, etc) - therefore my experience is not using Bacopa alone. Doctor's best is a brand I personally like as I feel it tends to use better ingredients and often has a more effective dosage than many of the other herbal brands often found at natural food stores. If you're interested in adding natural supplements to your daily regimen I highy recommend you work with a licensed integrative medicine practitioner (integrative medicine physician, nurse practitioner, naturopath, etc.) for the best results and to assure you don't mix something with your pharmaceuticals that might cause you troubles. Do note I emphasize licensed - this doesn't mean the store clerk at the natural food store who's "training" is usually whatever the sales rep for the product has told them or the person who claims to be a naturopath but isn't formally educated or state licensed. Also know that your conventional physician has no training in herbals what-so-ever (unless they've taken additional training in functional medicine or integrative medicine) and therefore they're not a good resource for adding herbals or natural products. Take your advice wisely from folks who are qualified. (Ok, preachy recommendation/disclaimer over..)

I had some issues and needed urgent delivery.The seller accomodated my request and made a quick delivery.. Coming down to product, I think it would be too early to comment on the effectiveness of Bacopa, as it memory enhancement effects show up after 4-6 weeks of consistent use(Even our Ancient Ayurveda testify for its efficacy ).However, the anxiolytic effects(on anxiety reduction)are quite acute and express immediately. Also considering the fact that Synapsa standard are created by CDRI,An India based institution, it gives more hope regarding the legitamacy of this item. Rest can only be said after 4-6 weeks...

Anxiolytic properties, Nerve Growth Factor and others...great stuff. However it seems best if taken later in the day vs earlier, otherwise productivity may suffer. But on the reverse side , staking Bacopa earlier in day with your favorite stimulant may be day ok. Since its relaxing abilities affect motivation when using stimulants be mindful not to push yourself more than a few days or it may back fire and leave you extra tired. Interestingly its relaxing properties have a distinct affect on nerve pain for my sciatica....after looking into it there is much known about Bacopa sciatica refief.....pheeeeew Finally relief and a suprise benefit !! This standardized extract is among the strongest with superb value pricing. Drs Best is among my favorite suppliers.

Great quality

Been taking for a couple months now. I feel some increase in focus and memory, as well as clarity, but I wouldn't say it's profound. Price is reasonable compared to other brands that use the same source so I'll stick with it. Definitely not a stand alone nootropic supplement, i would recommend researching others and attacking this with them.
