Bacopa will make you smarter, enhance your memory, and help you focus better.
Bacopa Monniera, also know as Water Hyssop, is used in a holistic system of medicine originating from India. Historically, the use of Bacopa Monniera dates back to approximately the 6th century AD. Ayurvedic medicine, or Ayurveda, which means "life sciences" in Sanskrit, is a holistic system of Indian medicine that evolved between 3000 and 5000 years ago. Bacopa Monniera is recognized as an adaptogen, a physiological agent that naturally increases the body's resistance to physical and emotional stress. Bacopa is not only is used to ease stress, it helps people to focus better in stressful situations. It does have a tranquilizing effect, but unlike sedatives which dull the mind Bacopa Monniera improves mental clarity, focus, and mood. The Bacopa herb has been used for centuries and has been known by the name of Brahmi in India, and in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. Bacopa Monnieri or Brahmi is known to possess Bacosides, the active ingredient thought to support learning, cognition, and memory by enhancing the efficiency of nerve impulse transmission. Bacopa's antioxidant properties may also offer some protection to brain cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.

We all know that an optimal level of nitric oxide (NO) is important. This is because NO is a key mediator in many body functions, most notably cardiovascular health and circulation. However, like most good things, too much nitric oxide can be as dangerous as too little. There is growing evidence that excessive concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), generated within overly activated brain cells, might be involved in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. A rodent study of brain cells exposed to toxic levels of nitric oxide showed that Bacopa inhibited the DNA damage that occurs in these diseases, suggesting that it may be significant in preventing, or treating them. In other words, Bacopa compensated for the oxidative effects that comes from too much nitric oxide.
Looks like the majority of research has focused on the broad-spectrum of activity of Bacopa Monniera in the Central Nervous System (CNS). Recent studies indicate that Bacosides, the primary components of Bacopa, enhance nerve impulse transmission, which may help to promote healthy cognitive functions like focus, concentration, attention span, learning and memory. Preliminary laboratory results also suggest that Bacopa Monniera influences the production and availability of the neurotransmitter Serotonin, and it is thought that Bacopa may help to provide positive support for a healthy neurotransmitter balance. Bacopa Monniera has been identified in clinical analysis as an adaptogen that increases the body’s resistance to a wide range of chemical, biological, and physical stress markers. That explains why, Bacopa Monniera affects multiple body systems to promote emotional well-being, physical endurance, and mental sharpness. Bacopa Monniera is well-tolerated and maintains an excellent safety profile. To date, medical literature confirms that there have been no adverse events related to the use Bacopa as a dietary supplement. No significant Bacopa side effects have been reported in published studies with humans. However, as with any herb, adverse effects could occur so be reasonable in the amount you use and take a couple of days off each week.

Now, all you dummies who wants to improve his or her memory, the ability to concentrate, focus under stress, learn new information, and minimize the negative effects of stress, or increase mental clarity under stress, or in sports performance might want to give a Bacopa supplement a try. Bacopa can be purchased in supplement form through helalth food stores and online, do your homework and pick a reputable distributor for supplement forms, and read your labels. Or you can buy it fresh at Pet Smart in the aquarium dept. and grow your own it's easy. Always consult your healthcare provider before taking Bacopa if you are currently on any prescription anti-anxiety, anti-epileptic, tranquilizers, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, narcotics, or other prescription medications. If you are or suspect you may be pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding take a pass, might adversely affect your fetus or newborn. Good Luck...
