Herb Pharm Certified Organic Bacopa Liquid Extract for Brain Support - 1 Ounce (DBAC01)

I have a child with autism that although is sensitive to most supplements, has responded wonderfully to this herbal extract. I usually see a change in him within a few minutes after he takes a dose. The supplement tastes bitter so I mix it with a little liquid vitamin C in a syringe and he drinks some water immediately after to wash off the bitter taste. This supplement makes my 8 year-old feel so good that in spite the bitter taste, he voluntarily takes it. Since adding liquid bacopa, my son has shown improvement in his verbal response and word retrieval and his learning ability has improved. He also sleeps better, is more present, calmer, more focused, less anxious, less OCD, happier, and exhibits improved social behavior. In addition in the past 4 months since he has been on this supplement daily, he has made marked improvement in his fine motor skills, especially his hand writing has become legible. However, all these changes are fairly subtle, yet quite noticeable to family and friends. I am so thrilled with this herb that I now take bacopa tablets myself and have experienced improvements in my own mood. I really couldn't ask more from any one natural supplement. I give my son, 30 drops in the morning, and if needed, 20 drops in the early evening. Over the years I have used numerous herbs and supplements and Herb Pharm Bacopa is among my most favorite.

When I need to be sharp and on my toes, I know I can go and get my "Bacopa". I put in my tea, coffee, really just about anything. I only need "three" drops and not what they recommend, causing my drops to go further. I automatically notice the difference at work because, not only am I sharper, I don't forget anything. Like, nothing gets pass me. Believe me. I notice the difference when I do not take it.

it does taste terrible, but, you can circumvent (kind of) by dripping onto back of tonge, then chasing it with warm coffee. seems to help attention.

This has got to be one of the cleanest sources of Organic Bacopa out there. I spoke with a representative from Herb Pharm, and was told that their Bacopa meets Proposition 65 for heavy metal contamination, which is rare for Bacopa, given that this plant has a tendency to absorb heavy metals from the soil (bioaccumulation). Apparently, the soil on which they grow their Bacopa must be extremely clean. Thanks Herb Pharm! Update: April 09, 2015 I have tried other herbs for nootropic gains, with not much noticeable benefits. I was sceptical at first about Bacopa, but this really does work. After just taking one dropper full, things I noticed were increased focus and concentration, along with a state of calmness. Also, when speaking, words just came to my mind with ease. In addition, this herb made me extremely social. I did feel a little sleepy though, and also felt as if a headache was about to start but never did, after a few hours of having taken it. Given the effects I noticed, I believe that this herb can definitely be used as a natural and safe treatment for children who suffer from autism. It will calm them, help them focus and concentrate, give them more fluent speech, and make them more social. When giving this to children, Herb Pharm recommends 1 drop for every 4 lbs of a child's body weight (e.g. a 60 lbs child would take 15 drops, up to 3 times per day). You can mix it with a little honey, in order to make it easier for the child to take, since it does taste like unsweet tea. Update: April 17, 2015 I think that I may be allergic to Bacopa, because I seem to get sinus allergies everytime I take it. I decreased the dose from one entire dropper, to 30 drops, which did help alleviate the sinus allergies which it seems to trigger. Bacopa works so well, that I think I may have to put up with the minor sinus allergies from time to time. Update: May 06, 2015 I left a bottle of Bacopa in the trunk of my car for a few hours during the day, and when I tried taking some the following day, I did not notice any beneficial effects. I did some research online, and found that Bacopa loses its efficacy if not kept in a dry and cool place. It was pretty hot the day it sat in my trunk, and therefore I think that the heat may have rendered the bacosides ineffective.

I almost died from the taste. Literally. Even mixed with juice. So I put it in a shot glass added about a tablespoon of water, and quickly chased it with juice. Still almost died. It made my tummy upset too. I have not noticed any positive benefits. Maybe you have to take it consistently for 10 days or something before you notice the benefit, but I simply can’t tolerate it enough to keep going. It really is that bad.

I’ve been taking this product or several years because it really helps my memory. I don’t have any side effects. I take it with honey, but I like to buy it in liquid form.

I started giving this to my 9 year old son along with other supplements he is taking. He is ADHD, anxious and very very bright but was struggling with focus and impulsivity in school. Even after we transferred him from public to private and took him off ADHD drugs and heavily supplemented with Omegas and Native Remedies, the improvement was good but not great. Then I added this and talk about a turn around! He is now getting more of his work done in class, less focused (or hyper focused) on other kids and distractions, and generally is less impulsive in terms of responding to kids who are triggering him. I don't know if this is doing all this alone or in conjunction with the other supplements and the cognitive behavioral/reward plan that the school has implemented for him. But, whatever it is, he has made a tremendous turnaround and is more confident and proud of himself. Mostly he is more focused and on task!

I have had this brand before and felt it helped me with memory retention. But this particular bottle is SO unbelievably bitter I am Not looking forward to taking it. Can’t return it. I don’t remember it ever being so unbelievably gross and I guess since I can’t return it I must force myself. I mean it’s so bad you cannot cover or dilute the flavor with anything that will help. Just gulp and grimace and pray you don’t puke. Here’s to health! 😵‍💫

If you want to relax in seconds but dont want to open a bottle of wine, drink this instead. a small shot using the inbuilt pippet in water will work wonders. Bacopa clears the mind and soothes inner tension.

doesn't seem to work

Really strong taste. All good

Arrived in good time, nice product.
