Doctor's Best, Bacopa With Synapsa, 320 mg, 60 Veggie Caps

I had some issues and needed urgent delivery.The seller accomodated my request and made a quick delivery.. Coming down to product, I think it would be too early to comment on the effectiveness of Bacopa, as it memory enhancement effects show up after 4-6 weeks of consistent use(Even our Ancient Ayurveda testify for its efficacy ).However, the anxiolytic effects(on anxiety reduction)are quite acute and express immediately. Also considering the fact that Synapsa standard are created by CDRI,An India based institution, it gives more hope regarding the legitamacy of this item. Rest can only be said after 4-6 weeks...

I have a very busy job with a lot of context-switching. I am new to the job but not new to the field, and having freelanced previously working at my own pace and compartmentalizing in my own way gave me a certain amount of freedom. Meaning, my brain got to create its own rules. I don't make the rules anymore and it felt for a while like it was in indictment on my brain when really I just needed time to adjust. Having adjusted quite a bit it was still not amazing when my inner monologue went off the rails of built things up to more than they needed to be. Normally I'd say it's imagined a bit, because it isn't suppose to work super quickly, but it's a *noticeable* difference. I feel more attached to myself mentally and just...even? Not in emotional vividness, but there's no rising and crashing in terms of "flow" or productivity. I will say that I am also trying a citicholine but I tried the bacopa independently first to track changes. It does have a really specific smell but to me strong does not equal bad and I kind of like it. Like woodsy-spicy? I don't notice energy effects but it's early days. And for the difference it makes it really helps you observe the effects if you sleep well. It's not a stimulant and in some nootropic-like combos (L-theanine and caffeine for example) I feel like I taught myself zippy=smart. I'd much rather feel like this and still retain the fatigue I gave myself for other reasons than crash a lot or begin to get into a weird "tolerance" loop with caffeine which has its own issues. I'll update if anything changes but this was the best week at work so far in terms of owning my confidence and not having anxiety-sponsored emotions or distorted perceptions. I don't think it's 100% a supplement but I don't think it's 0% either.

Bacopa is often used for memory and cognitive function (brain power/clarity of thought). In my experience using it (for myself and for clients) I've found a definite improvement in my short-term memory and feeling more clear headed (less fuzzy, less brain-fog type thing). However, I use it paired with other herbs that have similar effects so that they work synergistically to strengthen the effect (green tea supplement, blueberry supplement, coQ10, etc) - therefore my experience is not using Bacopa alone. Doctor's best is a brand I personally like as I feel it tends to use better ingredients and often has a more effective dosage than many of the other herbal brands often found at natural food stores. If you're interested in adding natural supplements to your daily regimen I highy recommend you work with a licensed integrative medicine practitioner (integrative medicine physician, nurse practitioner, naturopath, etc.) for the best results and to assure you don't mix something with your pharmaceuticals that might cause you troubles. Do note I emphasize licensed - this doesn't mean the store clerk at the natural food store who's "training" is usually whatever the sales rep for the product has told them or the person who claims to be a naturopath but isn't formally educated or state licensed. Also know that your conventional physician has no training in herbals what-so-ever (unless they've taken additional training in functional medicine or integrative medicine) and therefore they're not a good resource for adding herbals or natural products. Take your advice wisely from folks who are qualified. (Ok, preachy recommendation/disclaimer over..)

I think this actually works. My train of thought seems to flow better. Less stumbling for words. Caps are rather large and smell bad. Still worth it! My doctor recommended this product and brand due to actual research and testing on people.

Anxiolytic properties, Nerve Growth Factor and others...great stuff. However it seems best if taken later in the day vs earlier, otherwise productivity may suffer. But on the reverse side , staking Bacopa earlier in day with your favorite stimulant may be day ok. Since its relaxing abilities affect motivation when using stimulants be mindful not to push yourself more than a few days or it may back fire and leave you extra tired. Interestingly its relaxing properties have a distinct affect on nerve pain for my sciatica....after looking into it there is much known about Bacopa sciatica refief.....pheeeeew Finally relief and a suprise benefit !! This standardized extract is among the strongest with superb value pricing. Drs Best is among my favorite suppliers.

I just started taking it, so it’s a little early to tell if it works. After doing some research, this formulation was ahead of the rest, and the price was by far lowest. I’ll increase my star rating if it works, and I remember to do it. ;-) Edit: My wife and I have been taking this regularly since my original review. I’m adding another star and pleased to say this stuff works! We have both noticed a remarkable improvement in memory. I’m 66 yo and need all the help I can get, lol! I recommend it highly!
