1. Brahmi Capsules
Brahmi helps nerve endings grow and branch out, thereby forming more synapses between nerves in the hippocampus and amygdala, areas of the brain responsible for memory formation. This increases the volume and speed of communication between nerves. Brahmi has been found to increase protein kinase activity in the hippocampus in amnesiac rats. Protein kinases help in learning and memory, and in this case helped in recovery. Brahmi also balances several other essential neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and glutamate, all of which have significant roles in brain function. Active ingredients in brahmi are Bacosides A and B (help enhance memory), Sterols (lower cholesterol and pain), Alkaloids (tranquilize and help reduce pain) and Polyphenols (fight free radical damage and reduce inflammation).
