With Phophatidylserine (PS) & Vinpocetine
The Science of ThinkWellBacopa (Bacopa monnieri) is a
succulent ground creeper with white to violet or pale blue
flowers and is found throughout India in wet areas.
Traditionally used in Ayurveda to enhance memory, studies have
shown that oral administration of Bacopa to normal rats
significantly improves memory and learning ability1 and inhibits
free radical damage to brain cells in vitro.2 Increased learning
ability and memory was demonstrated in normal rats orally
administered active constituents of Bacopa known as bacosides.3,4
Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies of Bacopa
using well-validated tests in y adults have shown that
daily use increases the retention of new information,5,6 the
learning rate, and the rate that visual information is
processed.6 Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) is an edible creeper
with light violet flowers. Like Bacopa, Gotu kola is is found in
moist tropical areas throughout India and is traditionally used
in Ayurveda to enhance memory.7 Got kola has also been used
promote mental calm and relaxation during meditation.8 Studies
show that orally administered to normal rats, Gotu kola
significantly increases memory,9,10 learning ability, antioxidant
activity in the brain9 and resistance to psychological and
physical stress.11,12 In a randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled study, y men and women given a single
oral dose of Gotu kola extract showed a significantly reduced
response to acute stress.8 Phosphatidylserine (PS)
(fos-fa-tidle-serine) is derived from soy lecithin. Rats fed PS
daily showed significantly enhanced cognitive abilities.13 In a
randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study in y men
and women, PS (400 mg/day taken with meals) produced a
significant decrease in the level of psychological stress in
response to emotional and mental stressors. A further benefit
was found in their levels of the stress hormone cortisol which
were significantly dampened in response to the stressors.14
Vinpocetine ( vin-po-se-teen ) is derived from an alkaloid found
in the leaves of lesser periwinkle (Vinca minor). In y
adults, an oral dose of Vinpocetine improved the flow of red
blood cells.15 In vitro, Vinpocetine was found to act as an
antioxidant that scavenges oxygen free radicals.16,17 Tests using
isolated brain cells have shown that Vinpocetine protects against
damaging effects of free radicals 17-19 and low oxygen
levels.20,21 Taken orally by y adults, Vinpocetine enters
the brain after only ten minutes.22 However, for greatest
bioavailability it is best taken 60 minutes after a meal.23
