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.

Buen producto pero le cambia el sabor a los jugos

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.

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.

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!

great I'll purchase again

I initially found this product helpful for calming my mind. However, within a few days I developed eye irritation. I wear contact lenses and my eyes became itchy and sore, making it necessary to wear glasses instead of the contacts. I tried eye drops to no avail. The eye doctor said I had developed dry eye and/or a sensitivity to the contact lenses. I finally checked the side effects of bacopa and dry mouth popped up. I figured dry mouth - why not dry eyes. Stopped the bacopa and now irritation is resolved. Thankfully, I can return to the contact lenses.
