Cognitive deficiency is the most commonly found in people who are exposed to strong chemicals or are undergoing chemotherapy. It is also found in people suffering from neuro degenerative diseases and autoimmune disorders. The latest research on memory and concentration shows the increase in the level of brain inflammation caused by chemotherapy, autoimmune disorders or release of free radical can reduce memory and retention power.

The deficiency of vitamin B12 (that is mostly linked to poor absorption of vitamins in the body), imbalance of the endocrine, stress and damage to brain cells can reduce memory which can be either long-term or short-term memory loss. This is also linked to impaired communication among neurons that are found in the hippocampus and immune signalling molecule cytokines. It is believed that stress busting techniques and keeping stress in check can improve memory and cognitive functions in humans. Eating the right kind of diet or taking herbal brain enhancing remedies for regulating stress and improving memory is the best way to improve memory and concentration.

One of the widely used herbal brain enhancing remedies is BrainOBrain capsule that is made up of rare and strong herbs that can improve memory and concentration. One of the key ingredients in the capsule is Bacopa monnieri, which was widely tested on various parameters by researchers for its property to increase mind power.

Research reports on Bacopa monnieri: In laboratory test, it was observed that when pre-pubertal animals were given the herb Bacopa monnieri at 0.5 to 1 percent of the diet, which was the highest dose the mice could eat, for almost 4 weeks, it resulted in the increase of release of antioxidants defence enzyme such as Glutathoine Peroxidase, Catalase and SOD. This also reduces the level of pro oxidants and free radicals that damage the brain cells such as compounds MDA, ROS and hydroperoxide by significant levels. The reduction in the level of harmful free radicals was seen at cytosol and mitochondria level.

The brain cells or neurons were protected from toxicity on regular intake of the herb and no noted toxicity was observed in laboratory mice when they were exposed to 3-NPA. 3-NPA is a plant and a fungal toxin that acts as inhibitors of mitochondrial function and causes permanent inactivation of the mitochondrial inner membrane enzyme i.e. succin. The intake of herb protected the brain cells from such damage.

Another research on Bacopa which was published in the Alternative and Complementary Medicine journal in 2008, confirmed the results that Bacopa worked as memory enhancer and anti depressant. Additionally, it claimed that the herb was effective in reducing the problem of depression and anxiety in elderly volunteer. It was observed that the test subjects had better power to overcome symptoms of depression.

There are almost 20 herbs and natural extracts in the remedy mentioned above which can improve memory and concentration. These herbal brain enhancing remedies made up of natural extracts not only increase mind power improves to enhance memory and concentration but also improve body metabolism and general wellbeing of a person.
