Summary

1) What is Brahmi 6000 Plus?

Brahmi 6000 Plus is an herbal formulation. It is based on the herbal extracts of five plants, the most important being Bacopa Monnieri (or Brahmi), Panax Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba, all three known for their benefits on memory related issues.

Bacopa Monnieri or Brahmi originates in India where it was traditionally used for improving poor memory and as an anti-anxiety treatment. Several recent clinical trials have revealed that its positive effects may extend to increasing the capacity of retaining new information and improving learning abilities. Large scale human studies are however required to confirm these benefits.Although generally safe, Brahmi based supplements may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal tract blockage and slow heart rate.

The Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract is best known for its capacity to increase blood flow to the brain, hence oxygen levels and nutrient for optimum performance. The plant also has powerful anti-oxidant properties, contributing to neuro-protection of the brain cells and to fighting free radical damage. The side effects of Ginkgo Biloba are mainly gastrointestinal in nature (diarrhea, nausea, etc), but may also include headaches and dizziness. These side effects are rare.

Nutrition Facts

2) Brahmi 6000 Plus Nutrition Facts

Brahmi 6000 Plus includes the following ingredients: Bacopa Monnieri (Brahmi), Ginkgo Biloba (Ginkgo), Schizandra Chinensis, Panax Ginseng (Korean Ginseng), and Capsicum annum (Cayenne).

You can also find Brahmi in solo-formulas like Himalaya Wellness Brahmi.

3) What Does Brahmi 6000 Plus Do?

Promoted as an herbal blend which should prove beneficial when it comes to memory and mind enhancing, Brahmi 6000 Plus contains five herbal extracts in a unique combination.

One of these ingredients is Ginkgo Biloba whose active compounds are called terpene lactones and glycosides. These components help by improving muscle tone from the blood vessel walls because they thin the blood. This process leads to an enhancement of blood flow throughout the body. Although it has been used as a memory improvement in dietary supplements, it has other beneficial properties as well. These include: helping with glaucoma, and macular degeneration and treating Alzheimer’s symptoms and peripheral artery. Treatment with Ginkgo Biloba may lead to some unwanted side-effects if the label dosage is exceeded. Examples of adverse side effects are digestive problems, muscle weakness, headaches, and skin reactions.

Another component of Brahmi 6000 Plus is Panax Ginseng, a plant that has generally been used to treat conditions like herpes simplex infections or the common cold. However, a recent study has revealed that this extract may act as an adaptogen, thus helping the body adjust to extreme conditions. In combination with other herbs, it can also determine an improvement in the cognitive functions in adults. Side effects of Panax Ginseng treatment include sadness, muscle spasm, and irregular heartbeat.

Unfortunately, there are no available online customer testimonials about Brahmi 6000 Plus; thus, the product’s efficacy is currently unknown, and further research is needed.
