Bacopa fans rejoice! This month on the In Search of Insight podcast, hosts Emiel and Erika discuss Nootropics Depot’s Bacopa extracts, including Bacopa 24%, Bacognize, Synapsa and Cognance. Tune into this month’s episode to learn about the differences between these extracts, why Bacopa has been used as a Nootropics herb for centuries, and the mechanisms behind Bacopa’s memory and mood benefits.
An especially exciting development on this episode is our new microphone setup. The ‘In Search of Insight’ podcast is now in stereo! This gives the podcast a much more natural and spacious feeling, which makes the podcast more pleasant to listen to. However, we have heard that some people do not enjoy listening to podcasts in stereo, because they like listening to podcasts with just one earbud in, and thus, they have a hard time following both sides of the conversation. We wanted to be mindful of this, and tested out some different solutions. We found that you can actually tell your phone or computer to take a stereo signal and…

Now that I’m listening to the podcast I’m identifying with Erika’s experience with Bacopa 24%. I take it nightly as part of a sleep stack similar to Sleep Support. My sleep stack is Bacopa 24%, Magnesium Glycinate, Apigenin 50mg, Uridine. I use to have lemon balm in the stack but dropped it because I thought it made it me feel energized.
If I’m honest I always feel tired and irritable even the next day subtly like Erika described.
Is there something I could take to counteract the 24% lethargy?

Bacopa up-regulates tryptophan hydroxylase, which increases the amount of 5-HTP created from tryptophan in your diet. This 5-HTP then goes on to compete with L-DOPA for the aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase enzyme. This lowers dopamine over time, and increases serotonin. You could take L-tyrosine to help boost your L-DOPA levels to balance things out more. If you wanted quicker effects, you could take Mucuna Pruriens. That has L-DOPA in it. I wouldn't take that every day, though. L-tyrosine you can take every day.
