Definite improvement in cognitive function, memory retention, processing complex info, faster flow of thoughts, great when writing essays, reports, analyzing data. Seems to work synergistically with caffeine but I am not advocating this. Has calming effect during stressful periods. Have been using for several years now and I'm not going back.

Only used it once. Be careful because it can lower blood pressure drastically. I took one pill (100 mg bacopa extract and 345 mg bacopa leaf in each) -Vitamin Shoppe brand. Ate no bkfst, just did my normal routine at the gym. I got dizzy during workout, nausea, blurred vision, almost passed out in gym restroom. Scary! Got workers to attend me and laid down. Felt like shock almost. Drank a...

The supplement has been doing wonders for me, this year has been tough - personal life and a challenging academic year, and I also have the worst memory and attention span. I hadn't studied a section for an important economics exam (it was a graph with an explanation) - 10 minutes before the exam was the first time I saw the graph and explanation. I just missed an A for the exam and that question made up 25% of the marks - I didn't forget the content, the labels and nor did I panic about the exam. This year's content has been the most challenging (4th year of varsity) yet my marks are looking great. I started taking brahmi this year and I'm never looking back. My results: less anxiety, improved memory and attention span, no side effectRead More Read Less

early stages of trial taken for mood and behaviour balance. also prescribed for use in times of increased physical and mental stress. taken as a a capsule stacked with gingko Bilboa and Panax ginseng to assist and compound effectiveness. can report a perceived improvement in mood balance. seem to cope with mental stress better however physical stress mechanisms still apparent and no significant reduction. will need to discover if any long term (12 week plus), effects are experienced. concentration levels have improved due to the proposed effects of supplementation taken in stack. thanks for reading.Read More Read Less

I have experienced severe fatigue, but has helped my knee pain, but the fatigue outweighs the benefits of the knee pain reduction. The Bacopa monnieri is in the Protandim I am taking.

I have been taking this product for only a few weeks and noticed more mental clarity. However, I've put on a few pounds and I'm wondering if this product is to blame. Has anyone noticed weight gain after using this product?

Must stay with it as described; takes 8-12 weeks for full effects to kick in. If you stop using it, then go back, it doesn't take as long. Some research suggests Bacopa acts as a pineal gland decalcifier/restorer. When I'm on bacopa, my mind is not only sharper and more focused, it seems more "intelligent", if you will. For example, understanding Einsteins "thought experiments" concerning time and space and clocks and trains, etc...doesn't require re-reading....you visualize the concepts immediately. I highly recommend Tattva Herbs for Bacopa and for all the herbs they sell.Read More Read Less

I used brahmi in an sesame oil base from Banyan Botanicals for sleep problems. Instructions said to massage into head and scalp. With an 45 minutes had sensation my head was disappearing and then deep sleep came. Who knew something like this topically would be an effective sleep aid. Honestly it is stronger than AMBIEN with no side effects

It seems to me to have improved my thinking. More clarity. I really notice when not taking it for about four days thinking was not as clear. Is there any problem using this long term?Brand using is Bacopa Enlighten by AOR. It is not on your list.

I discovered this in a coffee so it is very easy to use and I noticed the effects within the first 10 minutes. I can stay on tasks longer and with the coffee product also is an energizer I am getting more things done, and having fun doing them. I remember where I put my keys :-) and am more organized feel like a completely different person. I have add and I feel like now I am part of the productive world no more feeling, lost, lazy or stupid.

I started this today and have a more settled and clear cognitive function. I use a whole-plant tablet and I don't think it's extract. I guess if I take it regularly I'll get the full benefit. I tend to get nervous and hope this tablet's effect continues.

My mother and I started taking Brahmi some months ago and both of us noticed a definite increase in mental alertness. The only issue I would like to mention is to be cautious taking this herb with blood pressure medication. Brahmi lowers blood pressure!

Has kept my depression and panic attacks away. I was on zoloft and Ativan. I fall asleep easily at night and stay asleep till morning. I am more social and mentally sharp whenever I take it. It does give me stomach cramps couple of hours after I take it, so I am trying to take it in different ways to see that may be I can get rid of the stomach cramps. No success yet. I will try taking it with flax seeds next.

After doing my homework regarding the benefits of Brahmi, I decided to perform my own clinical trial. At the time, I was studying to take a national exam. Throughout my time of studying, I found that my ability to remember facts had signficantly improved. I passed the exam!
