NOW FoodsSupplements, Bacopa Extract (Bacopa monnieri) 450 mg, Promotes Brain Health*, 90 Veg Capsules

Easy to swallow. I hope it is honest abut the amount of Bacopa in the capsules. Are independently tested?

I ordered a Bacopa supplement that said it was 1,500 milligrams per capsule. I assumed since the dose was that high that it would work as well or better than other brands I used. NOPE! I learned to never trust a supplement manufacturer outside of the US or Canada. NOW has a manufacturing facility in Bloomingdale, Illinois, and one in Sparks, Nevada.Now about the milligrams. While this Bacopa only has 450 mg (far less than the other brand I regrettably bought), it is powerful. While the other brand with a much higher dose did nearly nothing, this brand and dose gives me the effect that I expect from Bacopa. In other words, it works!

Severe, painful abdominal cramping with many bouts of explosive diarrhea within 24 hours of taking one capsule of Bacopa. I could've had a colonoscopy, I was so cleaned out. I blamed it on a tiny dose of magnesium citrate but three weeks later it happened again, this time no magnesium, only Bacopa. I had unrelenting abdominal pain for the next three months (no supplements taken at all), leading to a full GI workup with (of course) no findings. Now I've got a "functional dyspepsia" and "IBS" diagnosis on my chart which will haunt me to the end of days.After five months of mostly feeling better, I stupidly took a capsule of Bacopa four days ago, and yep, you guessed it, back on the toilet and cleaned out yet again. At last the lightbulb went on over my head and I realized it's been the Bacopa all along! Came here and to Reddit and found lots of folks who report this same reaction. Confirmation! Wish I'd thought to look here sooner. ;-)

I take it when I wake up too early or can’t sleep because of anxiety. It had the same effect as Valium without being addictive or having side effects. It seems to slow my heart rate down when I’m having anxiety so I can sleep. It also helps with IBS-D

Arrived on time and easy to use

satisfied

I was really seeing a difference in brain function but when I tried to order a second bottle, I could no longer get it.

More than half the pills look like they are stuck together or got wet from the inside. They look like they have been sitting in a warehouse for a very long time.
