We are pleased to present our new Supercritical Organic
Bacopa. Tattva's Herbs' Bacopa combines the wisdom of Mother
Nature with the very latest technology known as supercritical
extraction. This state of the art technology delivers a very
pure extract that is both full spectrum and extremely
concentrated at the same time. It is so pure that you can
actually smell the qualities of the original herb in the
extract, and you are greeted with this aroma when you open a
bottle. It is sweet and powerful. There is simply no other
extraction method so effective that you can actually smell the
purity, fragrance and essence of the herb. This is a testimony
to the great care that goes into the selection of the herbs and
the supercritical extraction process itself. To give you an idea
of the potency and concentration of the extract, we can often
use as much as 200 to 250 pounds of fresh herbs to produce just
one pound of supercritical extract. All of the herbs are grown
on organic farms and selected with the greatest of care. The
supercritical process produces an exceptionally broad
representation of the herbs' active constituents, which
oftentimes traditional methods of extraction cannot even begin
to extract. Furthermore, the supercritical process does not use
any chemical solvents at all. Instead, it utilizes safe and
environmentally friendly carbon dioxide, the same carbon dioxide
that is found in your sparkling water. Finally, the
supercritical extract, post-supercritical extract (PSE) (a
water-soluble extract), and the raw whole herb are combined to
create our herbal formula.
The finished product is superior in terms
of both freshness and breadth of active constituents. It
delivers the full spectrum of the herbs with a potency that
cannot be surpassed. In addition, all of the herbs are
independently tested for heavy metals and other contaminates.
The result is an exquisite formula that delivers simplicity,
purity and incredible potency all at once.
Indications:
Traditionally in Ayurveda, Bacopa is used to maintain memory
function and positive emotional health. It has been known to
maintain healthy learning function, brain chemistry, and memory.
Traditional Uses: Bacopa
is the classic Ayurvedic nervine and brain tonic. Bacopa is
included in a class of Ayurvedic herbs called "Brahmi",
literally translated this mean "Godlike". Obviously, Bacopa is
held in great esteem in the science of Ayurveda to earn this
title, and rightfully so due to its multitudinous effects on the
body and mind. This herb is used to maintain healthy learning,
memory, speech, imagination, and ease nervous and mental
strain.*
*A Note on Dosage: It is
advisable to take Brahmi for at least three months for
significant effects and thereafter adjust the dose to suit the
individual. It is wise to treat the brain like a muscle - use it
or lose it. Regular, stimulating mental activities keep the
brain sharp, just as a vigorous workout helps keep muscles fit
and performing optimally. The brain is susceptible to
dehydration, so drink plenty of clean, pure fluids as part of
any brain nutrition program. Supplemental herbs such as Bacopa
may prove efficacious to a brain power plan, but give any
supplement program enough time to work before evaluating its
effects. Based on the metabolic rate of brain cells, the
benefits may not be noticed for at least 90 days.
Contraindications, Toxicity,
Cautions, and Safety: As with all dietary or herbal
supplements, you should inform your health care professional
that you are using this product. Women who are pregnant or
nursing are advised to consult with a physician prior to use.
However, this herb has been used safely by healthy people of all
ages in India, and Brahmi tea is actually given to infants
starting in their first month of life to encourage optimal brain
development. To date, no side effects have been reported with
Bacopa.
