Bacopa Monnieri Benefits For Men

Bacopa Monnieri Benefits For Men

Bacopa monnieri is a staple plant in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

It’s been used by Ayurvedic medical practitioners for centuries for a variety of purposes — but it’s main benefits have to do with you focus, clarity and overall cognitive performance. (study) (study)

In this article I’m going to show you some studies that prove every guy should use Bacopa Monnieri to naturally boost their brain health and performance. Plus, at the end of this article, I’ll fill you in on how you can combine this already impressive ingredient with a couple others that’ll help your brain be at its best all day, everyday.

 

Bacopa Monnieri For Brain Function

  • This rat study from Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences found rats that were treated with larger doses of Bacopa Monnieri (40mg/kg and 80mg/kg) had a significant increase in spatial learning performance and memory retention than rats that were given only a 20mg/kg dose — showing the higher the dosage, and the longer one takes Bacopa Monnieri, the better.
  • The same study from above also found that Bacopa Monnieri supplementation increased dendritic length and branching. Dendrites are parts of nerve cells in the brain that are closely linked to learning and memory.
  • Also, a 12-week study in 46 healthy adults observed that taking 300mg of Bacopa Monnieri every day improved the speed of processing visual information, accelerated learning rate, and boosted memory, when compared to the placebo group.
  • Another 12-week study, from Khon Kaen University, tested Bacopa Monnieri supplementation on 60 older adults and found that taking either 300 mg or 600 mg of Bacopa Monnieri extract daily improved memory, attention, and the ability to process information, when compared with the placebo group.

Bacopa Monnieri May Prevent Anxiety And Stress

  • Bacopa Monnieri is considered an adaptogenic herb — meaning it increases your body’s adaptability and resistance to stress. (study)
  • A study from Swinburne University of Technology in Sydney, Australia found Bacopa Monnieri helps to reduce stress and anxiety by boosting mood and lowering cortisol (stress hormone) levels at the same time.
  • Two other studies I mentioned above found that 300mgs of Bacopa Monnieri can reduce feelings of anxiety and depression in adults when compared to a placebo.

Bacopa Monnieri Contains Powerful Antioxidants

  • Antioxidants are compounds that protect the body from cell damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are linked to many degenerative conditions, including cognitive degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. (study)
  • A study published in the journal, Reactive Oxygen Species found Bacopa Monnieri contains powerful compounds that have antioxidant effects in the body.
  • For example, a study from Boston University School of Medicine found bacosides, the main active compounds in Bacopa Monnieri, have been shown to neutralize free radicals and prevent fat molecules from reacting with free radicals. When fat molecules react with free radicals, they go through a process called lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation has been linked to several conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative disorders according to studies. But with the help of Bacopa Monnieri, you may be able to block those disorders altogether.
  • One rat study from Panjab University found that while treating rats with dementia, using Bacopa Monnieri, they were able to reduce free radical damage and reverse signs of memory decline.

 

Now What?

Bacopa Monnieri is likely a new ingredient to you. But just one look at these studies, and it’s clear — if you want to boost brain performance and set up a “defense shield” around your brain health, this herb is one you’ll want in your diet.

Now, getting your hands on Bacopa Monnieri can be kind of difficult. It’s not exactly a “common” herb.

But that’s why I did all the legwork for you — and added Bacopa Monnieri (in its clinically proven dosage) into my brand new supplement Man Brain.

Man Brain is a natural, all-around brain performance and mental clarity booster that I had a team of engineers put together so you can be sharp as ever mentally, at any age.

Plus, it’s got a few more ingredients in it besides Bacopa Monnieri that’ll give you even more benefits than I’ve mentioned in this article.
