How do the herbs in Mentat promote brain health?

Bacopa/Brahmi is a well researched herb that supports brain health, memory and promotes mental calm. There have been various studies on Bacopa. A 2018 study published in the Current Neuropharmacology journal showed the neuroprotective effects of Bacosides present in Bacopa. 2 Bacosides help to scavenge free radicals, suppress of lipid peroxidation and activate antioxidant enzymes

It is also known for its blood circulation properties.

A 2018 study published in Front Pharmacology indicated that a compound called Asiaticoside present in this herb appeared to prevent human brain cells from dying (apoptosis). It also reduced cell growth inhibition 3

It also reduced cell growth inhibition Ashvagandha or Winter cherry is another well known herb that promotes energy yet helps to soothe the mind. A 2018 study showed that Withania somnifera reduced oxidative stress on cells. It also had an ameliorating effect on cognition and mitochondrial functions. 4 A meta analysis of 28 studies on Ashvagandha also showed that it had a beneficial effect on oxidative stress markers (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione and lipid peroxidation) 5

In a 2018 comparative study of ayurvedic herbs for the mind, it was found that Evolvulus alsinoides helped protect against neurotoxicity and had significant antioxidant activity. This was attributed to the plant steroids (stigmasterol and betulinic acid), coumarins (scopoletin) and flavonoids (β-carotene and chlorogenic acid) present in it6
