A Bacopa Extract Deep Dive

Pills scattered around with some open

AndFocus is an expert-formulated supplement that supports focus while helping you feel present.

The blend includes vegan L-Tyrosine, an amino acid that metabolizes dopamine and assists with stress and Bacopa Extract, a plant that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine that helps you feel more present and in the moment. While both have immense benefits, today, let’s focus on Bacopa. 

“I’m a huge fan of Bacopa for 99% of my patients who feel they have ADD or ADHD or trouble focusing,” said Dr. Patti Kim, Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist. “On a clinical level, it’s a little bit nuanced because it’s about asking, are you burnt out? I’m not blindly going to give it to you if you have trouble focusing. We want to look at what is going on. But Bacopa is such a valuable tool and helpful plant. I can’t think of one patient that it hasn’t helped."

According to Kim, her patients feel Bacopa immediately and it’s a beneficial combination of energy, attention, and focus. “Plant medicine is generally powerful, yet balanced and gentle,” she added. “And Bacopa is its own unique adaptogen. It’s not just altering one chemical pathway, but helping you have better focus.”
