Bacopa monnieri Is An Ancient "Memory Booster" - Here is What we Know

[@ToThePureAllThingsArePure]

i started noticing myself becoming forgetful at about age 42. i started taking a patented bacopa extract called synapsa, and within a month or two, felt my memory was restored to how it was before. i still take it daily. i find it a very interesting plant, as i feel no acute effects. it's not like caffeine or huperzine, where you suddenly feel yourself more alert and in a different headspace. just one day a month or two into taking it, i noticed, hey, i'm not losing those mental notes i take anymore!

[@UntamedScience]

That seems to line up with what the studies say too! Thanks for sharing.

[@colinuout2725]

It also sounds like you the salesman for this “patented “ product….. things consumers dont say. 😂😂😂😂.

[@ToThePureAllThingsArePure]

@@colinuout2725 i wish i made some money off of it. but no, i'm just very happy with the results. they just studied it extensively and concentrated just the right amounts of the phytochemicals in each dose shown to improve memory. i recently also gave it to the 83 year old lady with dementia that i care for, who was already taking a generic bacopa, and i can absolutely see an improvement in her day to day baseline. i decided to get this brand because it had the most promising reviews on nootropics depot, where i get a lot of my supplements.

[@ToThePureAllThingsArePure]

@@colinuout2725 unfortunately youtube's insane censorship won't allow me to reply properly to you. but basically, no, i'm not affiliated with them in any way. i was just impressed with the results.i mentioned it's patented because i haven't tried plain old bacopa, and don't know how it would work in comparison.

[@ToThePureAllThingsArePure]

@@colinuout2725 i see how it can sound like that. i just like the product and was pointing out that i was using one where they standardized for active, studies phytochemicals; i don't have experience with plain old bacopa.

The only person who differentiated between Bacopa and not confused it with Centella Asiática. Thank You. I grow it in my garden and I use its crushed fluids to sooth my skin a s a topical and then use the leaves also over my salads. Here, in India, mostly it's taken 3 months before examinations by some students, which I did with a few other of our Ayurvedic herbs and I did benefit from it immensely.

[@UntamedScience]

Fascinating -- "it's taken 3 months before examinations by some students" -- Thanks for sharing that little tidbit.

[@abc_cba]

@@UntamedScience one more tip. Just consuming the extracts is not helpful as the trials on them are very small sample size and not how it works. There are many compounds in the plant which work in synergy, whereas, just Bacoside A will be just solo compound that won't be helpful unless paired with the other compounds in it. I say that to my friends who rely on Curcumin extracted from Turmeric alone. There are many other compounds that make it more useful if you consume the powder instead of Big Pharma traps. We as a handful Indians also consume Shankhpushpi leaves for brain boosting properties, Ashwagandha and a few native herbs that aid in sleep and as a severe insomniac, it helped me a lot. Especially with my GABA boosting mechanisms. Happy to respond.

[@stepaway7]

I thought the actual studies were done on centella asiatica ?

[@abc_cba]

@@stepaway7 no, it's on Brahmi! (Bacopa) Centella Is just as awesome for cognitive effects.

This hyssop is found not only in Florida but way up in Quebec, Canada in its closeness to Vermont Maine and New York State these areas also have this sensitive tiny plant. When you found yours it jogged my memories

[@sarahfairchild399]

Thank u so much for this! As a fellow neurodivergent that is anti pharmaceuticals I appreciate this knowledge like non other!!

[@nc1901]

I have adhd and I've been taking high doses of lions mane tincture I made myself, also with dopamine, and fish oil. I'll definitely try this.

In india we call it ब्राह्मी or more ancient name Saraswati after Hindu god og memory

[@round51]

As always I appreciate you.

[@straycats1256]

I'm sure it works fine for some people but it wreaked havoc on my bowel movements. They should retool this herb as a super laxative.

[@tinuspeyper9149]

I have a question, will I get the same benefits from gotu kola? I always thought that bacoba is the same as gotu kola

[@ggad1899]

Do you have any study links for this in girls, and women, with ADHD?

[@DisabilitysAREabilities]

Use the internet F WIT

[@DisabilitysAREabilities]

Your obviously a late diagnosis scammer like the rest on the internet

[@internetfox]

I searched some databases and found one study on children with adhd, no studies on adults with adhd, and no studies on women specifically. there was one study on older adults with mild memory issues that showed some positive effect. pubmed is a good place to start if you would like to look yourself.

[@Brittany-i8z]

Do you have a specific supplement brand you recommend for children for Bacopa? I’m concerned about finding a brand that doesn’t use pesticides or herbicides on their plants used for supplements.

[@aaronyonny2139]

This is one of the ingredients in a popular energy drink

I hope 🙏 you receive justice, for I'm sure what is a terrifying robbery. Most High be with you ❤️ big pharmacy hates plant knowledge, getting out !!!!

[@melon7592]

INCREASED reaction time??? so they react slower in a reaction time test???

[@B.Duncan]

Increased reaction time means that what once took 750 milliseconds, now takes 625 milliseconds... whatever that reaction may be.

[@alvinwe8396]

​@@B.Duncan No, that's decreased.

[@souffle420]

So you're telling me, this _ornamental_ plant I grow on my aquarium is actually a good herb?

[@internetfox]

you're telling me I can grow this in my aquarium? i gotta get on that. i pretty much only have aroids in my shrimp tanks.

[@meplant-man634]

I grow B. carolina in an aquarium/terrariums. I wonder if it has some of the same properties 🧐 it grows quite prolifically in higher humidity environments and submerged.

[@DWSP101]

Suno AI you used to make that intro for the plant

I really don't like it, it's creepy and just sounds off.

Faster

[@marianbuduroi6463]

is Bacopa Closely related to purslane?

[@internetfox]

no, they aren't even in the same order. For reference, the levels go like this: species>genus>family>order. the genus Bacopa is in the order Lamiales and purslane aka the genus Portulaca is in the order Caryophyllales. purslane is related to things like beets and amaranth. bacopa is related to things like mint and borage.

[@marianbuduroi6463]

@@internetfox i heard that purslane can damage you kidneys if consumed in high dose like daily, but Bacopa can have bad effects on your body if consumed frequently?

[@mr.giggles4995]

​@@marianbuduroi6463 purslane is high in oxalic acid, too much of which can lead to kidney stones.

[@gabsave]

​@@marianbuduroi6463 Don't consume anything if you don't see any benefits within 2 to 4 weeks.

Duckweed is WAY smaller! ;)

@@UntamedScience duckweed is in the Aroidaceae family, it is related to calla lilies and philodendrons etc. bacopa is related to borage, and is in the Boraginaceae family.

[@colinf2316]

Nootropics don't work or everyone would be taking them. Here are some reasons why Bacopa monnieri does not work: Lack of efficacy in human trials: Bacopa has not been shown to be effective for any disease or medical symptom in adequately controlled, prospective trials in humans. Inconclusive human studies on Alzheimer's disease: Human studies on patients with Alzheimer's disease have been inconclusive. No effect on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels: Bacopa monnieri supplementation has no effect on serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels.
