Thoughts on "trafaRx" bacopa (55% bacosides)
Original post in this thread

So I'm looking up bacopa options based on examine.com's assessment of the supplement, with a recommended dose of 300mg if the herb contains 55% bacosides. So far I haven't really found any places that have this particular formulation except here: http://www.trafarx.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=353
This may seem like a bit of a stretch, but does anyone here have any experience with this brand? It seems like a bargain given the price and how many capsules I could make out of it with just 100g of the powder. Only thing I would be concerned about is heavy metal content, however. If not, is there a particular, reliable brand with 55% bacosides that I could try?

55% bacosides at 300mg isn't fundamentally any different from 27.5% bacosides at 600mg. A lower concentration is just fine.

It's not, though. There is always going to be some level of heavy metals in bacopa. The more powder you take, the more heavy metals there are. It's best to get the highest potency brand, with the lowest heavy metals.
