Just imagine a crucial board meeting, or an interview where the person struggles to retrieve information from brain, and is unable to focus on interview questions - the situation clearly reduces their competitiveness and efficiency. There are many women in 20s to 50s who complain of brain fog, fatigue, and low memory, loss of focus, exhaustion, depression and restlessness. This can make one feel sick and this condition of fogginess can linger for weeks or months. One forgets simple things - one goes to the refrigerator to fetch foods and struggles to remember what to get. People forget where they parked their vehicles at the mall and one continuously feels something is seriously off.

Severe changes in the endocrine flow due to stress can have severe impact on the flow of neurons and this can cut connectivity to the focussing part of the brain called hippocampus. People exposed to radiations or extreme climatic conditions may suffer from such loss of working memory or short term memory, due to poor blood circulation to brain induced by immune reactions or cold. Brahmi or Bacopa monnieri is herb specifically mentioned in ayurveda to improve concentration power and cure such loss of short term memory and fogginess, and this is one of the key ingredients in most herbal memory booster supplements.

There are many advantages of using herbal memory booster supplements - Brahmpushpi capsules, which contain Bacopa monnieri or brahmi for improving memory. It improves metabolism and enhances absorption of nutrients from the stomach. It protects stomach from medicine induced; shock induced and stress induced ulcers, and protects the inner lining of intestine from bacterial infections. The herb repairs inner lining of the digestive tract and this was approved by various researches on the herb which states it can repair the digestive tract lining to improve metabolism. The memory enhancement function of the herb is, mainly, through the enzyme Tryptophan Hydroxylase (TPH2) and increase in serotonin.

The study to check various changes in brain parameters on laboratory animals (who were given a regular dose of the herb) showed its regular intake was able to increase the level of serotonin in the hippocampus and it could even increase Serotonin Transporter (SERT) to improve concentration power. The study on mouse found the depletion of dopamine and serotonergic system induced by chronic stress and harsh exposures (radiations, cold and medicines) can be prevented by taking the herb Bacopa. Caffeine, medicines and alcohol abuse causes dopamine induced locomotion where the person has a sense of running in circles and this can be prevented by taking the herb.

Poor endocrine flow can be a key reason for poor memory, difficulty in thinking, low heart rate, tiredness, dryness of skin, loss of hair, frequent constipation, inability to tolerate cold and slow metabolism. There are certain other brain supporting herbs in the herbal memory booster supplements - Brahmpushpi capsules, which can restore the endocrine flow to cure brain fogginess and loss of memory. The mechanism is to reduce stress impact on the brain and support the mind by enhancing the flow of brain chemicals. The herb contains antioxidants to fight free radicals and prevent damage to brain cells caused by chemicals or radiations to improve concentration power.
