Nootropic Potential
Want to boost brain power? Try nootropics, a class of supplements linked with memory, focus and alertness. Bacopa monnieri, a traditional Ayurvedic herb, has been shown to enhance memory, increase recall and improve cognitive function, as well as reduce depression and improve mood. Other studies suggest that bacopa may also protect against age-related neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Ginkgo biloba, an herb used in Chinese medicine, enhances blood flow to the brain and may improve focus, thinking skills and some aspects of memory, while protecting against age-related cognitive decline and memory loss.
