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.

Love bacopa, but this is whole herb and not extract, which is much less effective. I've used Herbs of Light bacopa liquid extract for two years, until they quit making it and have been searching for another good liquid form. The extract liquid is the only thing that has proven to be substantially, noticeably effective. Not pills, and not this whole herb liquid. I used the Herbs of Light for studying while working toward my IT degree, and it was nothing short of amazing in giving me the ability to retain EVERYTHING I studied. My wife was having trouble passing her board certification for nursing, although a straight-A student. I started her on two droppers a day for a month while studying for her third attempt. Not only did she pass, she passed with the least amount of questions possible (it's a pass/fail exam that keeps giving questions until you reach the minimum required for passing, or will continue on to a maximum number after which if you haven't passed then you fail.) I know whole herb is better for you, as you get more of the plant constituents, but it also requires you to take much, much, more which is not at all cost effective. If you are buying this for learning/cognitive functions, I'd say buy this instead of pills (Himalaya is the best pill form I've tried) but buy at least two bottles, and take at least 6 dropper-fulls per day, spread out 2-2-2. I've spent years and many $$ on studying and using nootropics such as bacopa and theanine. I know , for me anyway, what works. Try it.

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, 2015I 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, 2015I 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, 2015I 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.
