What people say about Bacopa and sleep
“Other sleep supplements failed at helping me (I've tried l-theanine, taurine, bacopa and ashwagandha)”
“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 monnieri, ironically, energizes me throughout the day and has a negative effect on my sleep. I only feel the demotivation effects in the morning.”
