Are all above fantastic benefits are based on oral supplement intate? or topical application???

From the discussion section:

Therefore, good stability of the plant materials, mainly sugar-containing compounds, was proposed to be achieved by keeping them at the low temperature and under dry storage conditions since the rate of reduction of these saponins was found to be slow in long-term studies as compared with accelerated and real-time studies. Phrompittayarat et al. (2007) studied the stability of bacopaside I and bacoside A 3 in dried ethanolic extract of Brahmi plant and observed rapid degradation of bacopaside I and bacoside A 3 in the solution form than in semi-solid and solid forms of Brahmi plant material. It is observed that the degradation of most of the chemicals generally is faster in solution than in solid and semi- solid forms with higher molecular mobility in solution and at the higher temperature. These studies also suggest that
the manufacturing process of Brahmi extract should be done at a temperature lower than 60 C in order to prevent decomposition of bacopaside I and bacoside A 3 in the extract and the extract should be kept as concentrated semi-solid form rather than in the diluted form. Our study is based on crude plant
material of Brahmi and our findings are in agreement with Phrompittayarat et al. (2007) and suggest that low temperature favours the stability of saponins, bacopaside I and bacoside A. These findings also demonstrate that it is better to store the plant material rather than plant extract for the short duration to obtain the maximum concentration of active saponins, and that fresh plant material should be used to obtain the maximum concentration of active saponins.

I would like to learn more about possible synergy between Bacopa monnieri and Gotu Kola. In Ayurveda, I believe they are often prescribed together.

This one: https://www.iherb.com/pr/Herb-Pharm-Whole-Herb-Gotu-Kola-1-fl-oz-30-ml/15681?rcode=COH780.

I also tried to comment via the Facebook plugin below and it returned an error saying its not properly configured. It’s worked in the past.

I understand, but caffeine is more stimulating that’s what I mean. I guess it’s part of the nootropic effect but not all of it.

caffeine is confirmed widely used nootropic and gotu kola is considered nootropic as well. how do they work differently in that department? i think you are confusing the idea of how a nootropic works. ill suggest you try to do tasks without using caffeine one day and then the next using it and see how it works, that is called the nootropic effect. then try to compare nootropics like gotu kola to that please

I disagree as they do different things.
