What people say about Bacopa and anxiety
“One of the most gratifying and prominent effects that I feel from Bacopa is the attention boost.”
“i took bacopa for about a month (500mg) as part of my exam stack, with casual studying i was able to recall a ton of info on the exams/had no exam anxiety and got 90%+ on nearly all exams.”
“Bacopa helped to slow down racing thoughts. I felt at peace when taking it...extreme lethargy, demotivation, and diarrhea.”
“It's a pretty good anti-anxiety supp, but completely removes me from sociability. I don't care about other people, what they think of me, or what I'm doing.”
