Bacopa Extract 225mg Ayurvedic
For Learning and Memory
Bacopa has been revered for centuries in the Ayurvedic herbal tradition of India
to enhance clear thinking and support memory function. Studies have shown that
Bacopa supports learning and memory in humans. In animal models, Bacopa provides
antioxidant protection for critical memory centers and helps to reduce the
effects of stress on the brain. For both young and old, Bacopa is ideal for
those wishing to enhance their memory potential.
In the modern world, there are times when you need to buckle down and learn
something new. It could be anything from a presentation at work to studying for
a test when you want to achieve a higher level of mental clarity. And
surprisingly, there is an herb that can help you reach your goal. Planetary
Formulas, the company that unites traditional herbal wisdom with modern clinical
research, introduces Bacopa Extract - the smart herb for learning and memory.
Bacopa Extract, made from Bacopa monniera, is standardized to 20% bacosides and
has been used in Ayurvedic herbalism to support mental acuity for thousands of
years. In modern clinical studies, this herb has been associated with learning
and retaining new information.
Bacopa Extract - The Smart Herb
The primary principle of Ayurveda is to maintain a healthful balance of the mind
and the body. A healthy mental state is a key factor in maintaining this
balance, especially during times when you want to learn and use new information.
Planetary Formulas Bacopa Extract offers healthy support for improving both
learning and memory that is based on Ayurvedic traditional herbalism as well as
modern clinical research data.
Bacopa monniera is one of the most important herbs in the 5,000 year old
tradition of Ayurvedic healing. Also, known as Brahmi, its uses included
improving memory and learning.
Bacopa seems to work on specific pathways for memory, learning and relaxation.
Animals treated with bacosides from bacopa extract had increased protective
antioxidant activity in many parts of the brain, including the hippocampus – the
brain’s memory center. In vitro tests of bacopa were associated with increased
sparing of acetylcholine, an information messaging neurotransmitter. Animals
treated with bacopa had increased GABA and glutamine neurotransmitter levels
that are associated with calming effects. In various human studies, bacopa
intake has been associated with faster information processing, increased
learning rates, improved memory retention and reduced testing anxiety in as
little as 12 weeks.
One of the most surprising effects of bacopa is on reducing anxiety during
testing. Test or performance anxiety can affect your performance. But with
bacopa, you can work towards having a performance edge instead of performance
anxiety.
