Planetary Formulas BACOPA EXTRACT

offers healthy support for improving bothlearning and memory that is based onAyurvedic traditional herbalism as well asmodern clinical research data.

Bacopa monniera is one of the most impor-tant herbs in the 5,000 year old traditionof Ayurvedic healing. Also, known asBrahmi, its uses included improving mem-ory and learning.

Bacopa seems to work on specific path-ways for memory, learning and relaxation.Animals treated with bacosides from baco-pa extract had increased protective antiox-idant activity in many parts of the brain,including the hippocampus – the brain’smemory center. In vitro tests of bacopawere associated with increased sparing ofacetylcholine, an information messagingneurotransmitter. Animals treated withbacopa had increased GABA and gluta-mine neurotransmitter levels that are asso-ciated with calming effects. In varioushuman studies, bacopa intake has been

associated with faster information process-ing, increased learning rates, improvedmemory retention and reduced testinganxiety in as little as 12 weeks.

One of the most surprising effects of baco-pa is on reducing anxiety during testing.Test or performance anxiety can affectyour performance. But with bacopa, youcan work towards having a performanceedge instead of performance anxiety.
