Little Known Herb for Brain Should be Better Known

This placebo-controlled study gave sixty healthy people 300-600mg of bacopa extract. The average age was 62.6 years. At the end of the twelve week study, the herb had enhanced attention, cognitive processing and working memory. . . .

Several previous studies have shown that bacopa can help memory in healthy people as well as elderly people with memory impairment. One study also found that bacopa can help children with IQ’s between seventy and ninety.
