4-5 months ago I was stumbling around the net aimlessly when I ran across an article about an herb called Bacopa that was supposed to increase cognitive function as well as suppress stress related anxiety. Though I am usually very skeptical about such claims as it is not known to have any negative effects I ordered a few bottles to give it a try.

In short it works very well for high brain activity tasks like computer programming. My level of focus is far higher than usual when I have taken a standard dose and I feel relaxed as I work as well. None of the shoulder cramps or nervous muscle contractions that I get when I consume a lot of caffeine. I never have liked caffeine much, but I have relied on it to keep my brain awake when sleep or stress have kept me from working at 100% in the past.

I haven’t had any caffeine for months now, instead taking a few bacopa tablets whenever I am feeling too tired or unfocused to do quality programming work, and I am back in the zone in no time.

I highly recommend this mild herbal brain booster! You can buy it from any reputable herb supplier online and possibly in some health food stores though I have yet to see any in my local store.
