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.

It is nasty...no matter how you shake it but it works! Drink a little juice before then drink the juice you added the liquid to straight through...DO NOT STOP drinking until it is gone. Follow it up with some more delicious juice and your taste buds should return to normal after. But it helps keep me focused and it doesnt cause a headache so its good for me! BUT it is your money, spend it how you like.

I went for this vs. a tablet or capsule. Not sure if it makes a difference. OK, the good news, first dose, which is all I have taken, getting ready to take a smaller 2nd dose, but with the first dose I could tell a difference that was sort of quirky. I remembered details in a long term memory that I had not ever remembered! That was fun and scary. REALLY REALLY BAD NEWS, it made me weepy for about 4 hours after I took the first dose. I just cried and cried. I never,ever cry like that, it had to be some kind of reaction. I am going to cut the dose in half and will update this in a few days. I googled and read all the effects, and if anything, it should have done the opposite as far as the crying goes. I am baffled.

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.

This stuff is amazing! I bought it for myself initially, but had my 17-year-old son give it a try as well. I began experiencing increased mental clarity within the first week, and my son reported to me the other day that he hadn't realized just how amazing this product was, until he forgot to take it one day. His teacher actually asked him if he had forgotten to take his vitamins, and he realized that he hadn't been nearly as focused that day, as he had been since starting to use this product! Great stuff! I definitely recommend giving it a try! As a side note: the taste is very strong! Be sure to mix it with juice, or water, or something. I typically just add it to my glass of Bragg's ACV with lemon each morning, and that does the trick for me!

This was recommended by my son's naturopath for ADHD. It tastes absolutely terrible! I tried to disguise it in orange juice, but it still tastes like a mixture of gin and bitter apple. My 7 yr old wouldn't take more than a sip and he will swallow straight fish oil for me. It made me nauseous just taste testing it, and I'm not very sensitive to tastes.

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.
