What people say about Bacopa and energy
“Bacopa monnieri is the best against my brain fog, I grow my own. But it does not give more energy, just good mental focus.”
“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 monnieri, ironically, energizes me throughout the day and has a negative effect on my sleep. I only feel the demotivation effects in the morning.”
“I only started taking Bacopa last week. The last few days I've been thinking about suicide a lot - first time in quite a while. I didn't even consider it could be Bacopa until I read this post.”
