I've tried 4-5 different kinds in different price ranges & each was different potency wise. I'm talking about just straight powder. I actually found a cheaper kind on Amazon I like at a 5 g dose. Imo 3-5 grams is enough to feel effects while avoiding negative side effects. To judge whether a substance is right for me I like to try just enough to be able to pretty much know what the full experience would be like while avoiding any nausea, headache. Sorry, just because it's natural doesn't mean it's not medicine. I'm sure it's extremely rare but there's always possibility of an allergic reaction. How often have you been exposed to bacopa in your life? I don't want to sound like a dick but some of this stuff is as powerful as any prescription drug. I'm a fan but there's so much conflicting info out there and everyone has different brain chemistry I'm afraid trial and error is your best option. It's been a long road for me. Good luck

Keep in mind that bacopa accumulates heavy metals. If you are taking 5 grams of a bulk bacopa from Amazon, there is a VERY high likelihood you are getting exposed to higher than safe levels of lead. It's very hard to get bacopa down below safe levels at a 5 gram dosage, especially without extraction and purification processes.
