A member asked:
Ashwagandha - has anybody had positive experiences helping with mental alertness & concentration?

Consider Bacopa: While ashwaganda (withania somnifera) is a wonderful rejuvenative herb, i prefer another traditional Ayurvedic herb bacopa monnieri for improving mental alertness and concentration.
