NOOTROPICS
Derived from the greek word for mind, noos, a nootropic is any substance that increases human cognitive abilities and capacity. They typically work at increasing the amount of neurochemicals like neurotransmitters and enzymes or increasing the amount of blood flow or oxygen available or by stimulating nerve growth.
ABOUT THIS FORMULA
I like this Organic India nootropic formula for many reasons. One reason is that there are many herbs that traditionally were considered to be 'Brahmi' or what we now know as Gotu Kola. The top two herbs on this list are Centella asiatica and Bacopa monniera, and both are included here. Also, because these Centella and Bacopa are high frequency, cold, bitter herbs they need to warmed and grounded in order to be balanced for daily use by most people. So this formula adds Tulsi and Ashwagandha, both of which are excellent 'Medhya' herbs which means herbs that are excellent for the mind and memory, to warm and ground the Centella and Bacopa. Ginger is added to increase bioavailability, Gingko to increase micro-capillary circulation, and Jyotishmati, which literally means 'celestial intellect,' is added as it is one of the great nootropic herbs of the Vedic and Ayurvedic Traditions. Organic India's Gotu Kola formula is a very effect and balance formula suitable for all ages and constitutional types, Vata, Pitta and Kapha. As predicted/known in Ayurveda for millenia, note that there is a significant amount of modern scientific research (I have found about 10 technical journal articles) on how Centella, Bacopa and Ashwagandha all help to grow all three aspects of nerve cells, the axon, the dendrite and the myelin sheath (yes, that nerve cells do not grow/regenerate is just a recent myth now thoroughly debunked). Added side effects of this formula is that it is useful in increasing the quality of protein bonds in the body and hence it is excellent for vericose v |
