Scientists discover new 'wonder supplement' that could supercharge your memory and concentration An inexpensive herbal supplement that TikTok creators claim is a 'natural' remedy for ADHD and anxiety can boost memory and concentration, surprising trial results suggest.

The Indian researchers behind the trial, which was funded by a company that makes bacopa supplements, said their results could have implications for people seeking a way to boost their brain healthily.

The authors, who presented their findings in the journal Gavin Publishers, also noted the bacopa group had higher levels of a protein associated with the production of new brain cells.

Results showed those taking the botanical — which is extracted from plants that grow in wetlands — performed better than others on tests that measured memory, concentration, alertness, reasoning and mental flexibility.

Compared to a placebo group given a sugar pill, the 40 bacopa participants also saw a reduction in their hormones linked to stress and anxiety.
