Bacopa – The #1 Herbal Nootropic Now in Spagyric Tincture Form
Bacopa, also known as Brahmi, is well-regarded as one of the more powerful nootropic herbs across the world. This means that it aids in cognitive function from memory to motivation, focus, and more.*
It stems from India and the Ayurvedic tradition.
For a long time, I’ve loved our Organic Bacopa Extract Powder. While it tastes like a hamster cage smells, I notice that it clears the mental cobwebs and helps me focus instantly. (I’m more sensitive to herbs energetics than most, while most of the research shows that Bacopa delivers the best benefits over time when taken consistently for months.)
And now it’s available in a potent and handy tincture for you.

Why Spagyrics?
As I dove deeper into herbalism, I learned about the REAL art of alchemy (not turning lead to gold, what most people think it’s about) specifically the spagyric arts with herbal plant material.
While ants are insects and not plant material, the same method can be used.
The idea behind a spagyric tincture is that the “salt” is added back in, which normal tinctures completely lack, just having the “mercury” and “sulfur” compounds. (Please note these are the philosophical elements, not to be confused with the chemicals by the same name. I’m trying to explain this in a way that doesn’t take an hour or more of training!)
“Salt,” as the earthiest part, in reality, the mineral matrix of the plant, makes the tincture more embodied…which in turn helps it to better work within your body. This is why you can often get better results with a lower dosage on a spagyric tincture vs. a regular tincture.
Quality and Processing of our Bacopa Tincture
The Bacopa flowers and leaves used for this tincture come from India where most of it is grown. The raw materials are all certified organic.
The Bacopa was then tinctured for over six weeks in a menstruum made with:
- Organic Cane Alcohol 40% ABV
- Filtered Fresh Spring Water
After pressing the plants, they’re calcined and ground down into a fine, then further extracted with distilled water and a gentle evaporation process until crystals are formed. These purified “salts” are added back into the tincture to finish the process.
The taste is primarily Bitter and Sweet. It’s much more pleasant than our powdered extract.
Recommended Dosage
The recommended dosage is one dropper daily. This comes in a one-fluid-ounce bottle, so there are about 40 droppers per bottle. At the recommended dose a bottle will last about 40 days.
Note that the effects of this dose do not seem to be quite as strong as the powder. Feel free to up the dosage as needed.
