Bacopa Monnieri: The Most Impressive Natural Nootropic?

What they were answering

bigjew222 · 1 points

Does timing of day or whether taken on a full/empty stomach matter...?

Also, do any of the other 'popular' discussed nootropics here compete with L-amino acid decarboxylase enzyme as well, and therefore probably benefit greatly from L-Tyrosine supplementation?

Not really. Taking it in the AM, or before exercise, makes the most sense.

Keep in mind that bacopa does not compete for AAAD. It up-regulates tryptophan hydroxylase, which causes more 5-HTP to be created, which compete for AAAD. The amino acids that compete for AAAD are 5-HTP, L-DOPA, L-histidine, L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, and L-tryptophan. Wikipedia has a good visual of it all.
