Polygala tenuifolia
Works as explains. Very happy.
Polygala tenuifolia is a perennial purple flowering plant that grows in semi shade or no shade environments and has a tendency to grow in moist soil. Polygala tenuifolia is native to Asia and can be found in grasslands, mountain slopes, prairies, and shrub forests. Polygala tenuifolia root has widespread use in Traditional Chinese practices and is traditionally referred to as Yuan Zhi or Chinese Senega and is believed to promote cognitive function when ingested orally. Anecdotally, people report that the calming and stimulating effects of Yuan Zhi help promote focus without feeling overstimulated or experiencing jitters like large amounts of caffeine. Modern research has found that Yuan Zhi’s adaptogen-like properties may promote healthy stress levels and optimize cognitive function but more research is needed to solidify these findings.
Polygala tenuifolia is quite unique since unlike most plant extracts which have only one or two primary effects, Polygala has a very wide range of effects. Most Polygala users report feeling a calming yet stimulating sensation when taking a Polygala supplement. This is interesting since this type of feeling is typically only achievable with a combination of supplements, such as a simple stack of caffeine and l theanine. Although it is quite stimulating, Polygala tenuifolia may also help promote sleep quality. Typically, the calming effects of Polygala seem to outlast the stimulating effects. The sleep promoting effects are believed to be associated with its tenuifolin content, a bioactive compound found in Polygala tenuifolia root extracts. Human trials also suggest that Polygala tenuifolia may help promote spatial awareness and organization.
Some findings show that Polygala tenuifolia may help support neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the process by which our brains can change, adapt and grow, which is an important process for many cognitive functions as they are dependant on adequate levels of neuroplasticity. This is relevant to memory and memories, as these are believed to be stored by neuron connections that are physically changing. These changes are dependant on neuroplasticity. Two of the biggest regulators for neuroplasticity are nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Studies have found that with an increase in either of these regulators, neuroplasticity can be notably boosted. Polygala tenuifolia is believed to increases both levels of BDNF and NGF. By increasing BDNF and NGF levels, Polygala tenuifolia may help promote overall brain health as well as cognitive function.
As a dietary supplement, take 100mg of Polygala tenuifolia Extract one to three times daily

I can't stop myself from thinking than P.Tenuifolia properties are much more wider than a simple AcCholinesterase Inhibitor, this plant need definitely more attention from the scientific community to determine the extent of it's neuro-chemistries abilities. Aside from it's traditionaly included in TCM in the formula KXS or Kai XIN SAN which contain Ginseng , Polygala , Acori Tatarinowii and Poria (and sometimes Poria paradicis much more potent than the standard poria cocos), of this formuloa knows many variants.

Say bye to melancholia with this compound. Say hi to happiness.
It lasted about 4 days to build up and then, it's like magic, kinda the memories that hurt you, are still there but doesn't hurt anymore. Its stability is the most miraculous thing I noticed. It's like if you're always good and nothing can't beat you. I'm on it for about three months and, simply, I still can't believe it.
Product arrived on time. The effects are good, but not mind blowing by any means. I imagine this herb works best if taken over a longer period of time. I would consider mixing this with a reishi extract to enhance the Shen effects. It's an ongoing experiment, I've sampled many different herbs to see if I notice a difference. Cinnamon, for example, can take up to a month to start working. Good for the hippocampus.
I immediately recognized the unique signature of Polygala root with 50 mg on the tongue (intense pungent and bitter aftertaste). I've used this great Chinese herb many times in decoction and tincture and I'm pleased with this highly concentrated extract. "The ancient name for this herb is the “Will Strengthener.” The herb is believed to have the ability to strengthen that part of the psyche which we call the “Will.” (Teaguarden 1996) Thanks for the fast shipping to Canada!
Can definitely feel something when I take it. Need to look into it more. Quick international shipping as well(india), thank you NootropicsDepot!
I went from being moody all the time to feeling totally normal. Life has been so much more manageable since I started taking this and I actually feel like I can cope for the first time in my life. This has seriously done wonders for me and I'd recommend it to anyone struggling to get through the day.
Wow 2 minutes and it started working. Within 2 minutes it started working. I feel awesome. I just received it almost 25-30 days from USA to India.
To me this product made a big difference in my overall mood and made it easier to stay engaged in conversation while attending social events. The world seems more fluently navigation-able.
Good stuff. Combine 150 mg of this with L-taurine twice a day and watch your mood, focus, and cognitive function take off like Usain Bolt on amphetamine!
I'm very impressed with this substance so far (5 days in). It definitely manifests rapid anti-depressive effects in my experience. It also feels very clean and balanced and doesn't really have any side effects so far. The effects are also pretty acute, so I think it will be useful in specific situations as well as for those wishing to take it regularly. I've been sticking to the recommended dosage regime (100 3x) and I find it pairs pretty well with caffeine beverages for pick me up effects.
After previously trying Nyles7's extract, I've now pitched it (still had a good 40 grams left at least) and am using ND's instead. Sure to be a staple in many people's' nootropic regimen soon. Having said that, I'm looking forward to seeing other people's reports. Very confused as to why this wasn't in the nootropics scene until recently.
Cognition is noticeably enhanced and brain fog is rapidly lifting. For the first time in years, learned helplessness is rapidly attenuating -- I feel like living life again after a difficult break-up of a year long relationship that occurred one month ago. It seems to be having a positive effect on sleep architecture as well (even had several lucid dream experiences the past few evenings). Slow wave sleep is noticeably enhanced as well -- I feel extremely refreshed in the morning as opposed to my usual grogginess and look forward to my day rather than dreading it. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the product as well -- finely milled, excellent packaging, prompt customer service. Polygala will now become a permanent addition to my nootropic stack: I'm only a few days in and am looking forward to neurological benefits in the years to come. MANY THANKS Nootropics Depot for discovering, researching, and providing this quality "treasure" from China! I will be recommending this product to family, friends, and co-workers. Thanks Again!!!
