[What is Ginseng]

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng is one of the most effective antiaging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.

Other important benefits of ginseng is its support in cancer treatment and its effects on sports performance.

One of the secrets of weight management is helping people fight the inner demons of hunger and the feeling that they need to eat everything in front of them. One of the time-honored and proven ways of helping moderate hunger is by using a protein-sparing program, as carbohydrate reduction in the presence of protein significantly blunts appetite. However, what do you do with the people who eat the protein but still crave the warm, fuzzy feeling that food (and the anticipation of eating) gives them? These types of people think they are hungry, even when all normal indicators would say they couldn’t be. In truth, they are craving the feeling of “reward response” which SmartSlim® has been designed to address: thermogenesis PLUS craving support.

Some plants contain small amounts of alkaloids that are direct and indirect-acting adrenergic agents, such as synephrine, octopamine and from Bitter Orange and methylhexanamine from sweet-scented geranium oil. Adrenergic agents with beta-agonist activity can stimulate thermogenesis (an increase in lipolysis and resting metabolic rate) in some persons, thus increasing the removal and oxidation of fat from adipose tissue stores, an action potentiated by methylxanthines, such as caffeine, present in Green Tea. Velvet Bean contains L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), a precursor for the endogenous catecholamines that mediate thermogenesis in peripheral tissues and act as neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS). In dopaminergic pathways in the CNS, the L-DOPA from Velvet Bean can increase dopamine availability, while aporphine alkaloids from Sacred Lotus can mimic the action of dopamine. Dopaminergic pathways in the CNS may modulate eating behavior.*

Bacopa Herb – Uses and Health Benefits of Bacopa monnieri

Bacopa monnieri, also called brahmi, is a thick-leafed herb that favors wet and muddy locations in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and southern parts of the United States. It is characterized by its green leaves and white flowers, and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries thanks to its considerable healing properties, especially in relation to mental health. It is relatively inexpensive to buy from health food stores, and is usually consumed in tablet or capsule form (although some people like to drink the leaves in a tea). Below is a list of the health benefits of bacopa monnieri, so you can decide whether this herb is right for you.

Improves brain function

According to numerous studies, bacopa can noticeably improve cognitive function and mental performance. A study presented in 1996 at the International Brain Research Conference, for instance, demonstrated that a regular consumption of bacopa reduced the time we needed to learn new tasks by almost 50 percent!

Another study by researchers at the University of Wollongong in Australia showed that bacopa improves memory and recall abilities, while a similar study – conducted in 2012 by researchers at Khon Kaen University in Thailand – proved that participants who took bacopa for a 12-week period scored far better in mental processing tests than those who took the placebo. According to the University of Michigan Health System, the reason why bacopa is good for the brain is because it contains bacosides, which are chemical compounds that can repair damaged neurons, thus improving nerve impulse transmission.

Prevents mental diseases

According to a study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, elderly volunteers who took 300 milligrams of bacopa monnieri daily demonstrated greater improvement in the areas of attention and verbal information processing than those who took the placebo. For this reason, the study authors concluded that a regular consumption of bacopa is an excellent guard against age-related cognitive deterioration, as well as mental diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Boosts mood

You’re probably noticing a trend here: bacopa is good for the mind, period! Yes, bacopa is also linked to improved mood (including relief from depression, anxiety, stress, and nervousness) because its chemical properties support the effects of mood-regulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin and acetylcholine. This makes it an excellent natural anti-depressant that lacks the horrible side effects of Prozac or Xanax.

Improves digestive health

Though it is best-known for its cognitive improvements, bacopa monnieri is not a one-trick herb. It also supports the production of beneficial mucus in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby guarding us from stomach ulcers, intestinal dryness, and constipation. Also, since bacopa protects the villi in the intestine (which are responsible for absorbing nutrients), it also helps us to absorb more important vitamins and minerals from our food. For this reason, lots of people like to take bacopa before or during a meal.

Improves respiratory health

Bacopa monnieri has been shown to relax bronchioles, which often become irritated or inflamed from respiratory conditions such as asthma or stress-induced shallow breathing. Bacopa also relaxes the blood vessel muscles around our airway passages, which improves our breathing quality.

Please remember that, like many other herbs that benefit our mental health (such as St. John’s wort or ginkgo bilboa), bacopa takes time to work. Taking 150 milligrams of it three times per day over a two or three-month period will provide better results than taking the same amount over a one-month period. So, if you’ve decided to try out bacopa, give it time; most medicinal herbs reward patience.
