Spending time online in nootropics communities will inform you of how popular bacopa monnieri is as a cognitive enhancer. A lot of people use this by itself for improving their memory and general cognition, but many popular supplements do as well. For Alpha Brain and Nootrobox products both have bacopa because of how much of a catch-all it is. This is a smart drug that has very real and scientifically proven benefits at certain doses.

 One of the things most people do not know about is the unknown benefits that are less publicized and understood. For example, blood flow in the brain (referred to as cerebral blood flow) is enhanced through the use of bacopa. One study showed that blood flow increased and bacopa helped to reduce blood pressure. These were both related to the active ingredient (and more specifically bacoside A3 and II). If it seems like this is too much information for you to use or find helpful, you are probably right! The bottom line is that cerebral blood flow helps your brain function better because it has more oxygen and nutrients.

 Additionally, there are advantages of bacopa monnieri for pain relief. One study showed that in higher doses, the bacopa monnieri adaptogen could be helpful for removing pain. It seems this is caused by a combination of opiodergic, serotonergic, and adrenergic mechanisms that helps to improve the feelings of pain.

 The best part about these two benefits is that you might have never even known them while they were helping you. The advantages of the natural products that have been used for thousands of years are manifold and sometimes they are even greater than what you have expected or knew about in the past.

Herbs that help to improve brain health by reducing stress and the response that has on the body are called “adaptogens”. These nootropic compounds are helpful because they can reduce the impact of stress on the body, such as in situations where you are exerting yourself too hard or you are just struggling with psychological things. Most of the time, the adaptogen herbs can help to also handle stress that causes anxiety and depression. Here are 3 of the best adaptogens for these purposes.

1. Ashwagandha is an ancient adaptogen that has been used for anxiety-reducing purposes for thousands of years. In India, ashwagandha is still being used as a way to help people who are either overworked or feeling very stressed for other reasons. It is a tool that has been used for many years, which has led to studies and research confirming many of the previously held beliefs. Of all the science and research done on this particular drug, it was the anxiety-relief that had the most profound weight behind it.
2. Bacopa monnieri this is another adaptogen best known for its ability to improve memory formation and retention in elderly and young adults alike. It is a great way of improving your mental capabilities and general cognitive enhancement, but there are some studies that show it can help with anxiety and depression. One study with 300 mg of bacopa (55% bacosides) showed that people could reduce both anxiety and depression with a double blind study.
3. Rhodiola rosea is yet another adaptogen, it is the least well-studied adaptogen and does not have a ton of research to support it, however there are plenty of anecdotal reports that show just how powerul rhodiola can be. It is a great, natural option for your repertoire.

Even though there is the majority of the population that eats too much food, there are also plenty o people who do not eat enough.

The vast majority of them have no guidance on how to add foods that are high in calories so that they can gain weight the way that they desire.

In this article, we’ll provide a few high calorie foods that should help you to get enough food and get more weight the way you want it.

High Calorie Foods to Gain Weight

Looking to put on some mass or just get a little bit bulked up? Assuming you have your exercise and gym routine in order, it is a good idea for you to get some of these high calorie foods as well. This will help to propel your results in a much better direction:

• Nuts – you can get nuts of any and all kind and they are going to provide a lot of benefits for you because they are so high in calories. Because they are made from plants, you will not see a lot of cholesterol, which is good to prevent any kind of heart disease. Try to stick to nuts like walnuts that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, but eat a variety to get many different nutrients and fat types.
• Cheese – we typically want to avoid sugar when we are talking about high calorie foods because this can do damage to you in other ways. Cheese is a great work around because it is full of fat and a few carbs, but it also has the ability to fit on just about anything. You can add it to any food and things will pretty much be okay!
