HOUSTON–(HISPANIC PR WIRE – BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb. 10, 2003–Himalaya USA, the North American distributor for The Himalaya Drug Company, today announced a strong response to the introduction of its Pure Herbs line — especially increased demand for its “memory herb” Bacopa.
Bacopa, a brain and nervine herb shown to heighten mental acuity and improve memory, derives from Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system of medicine from India. Bacopa is categorized as “Brahmi,” which are herbs that benefit both mind and spirit and improve intellect and consciousness. Clinical studies confirm that Bacopa aids in information processing and helps decrease forgetfulness without undesirable side effects.
According to Prevention Magazine, “.Bacopa is tops at improving memory.” Bacopa is featured in the February 2003 issue of Prevention and is on newsstands now.
Himalaya USA President and CEO Philip A. Duterme, Ph.D., sees this success as proof that the baby boomer population continues to seek safe, effective methods of staying young.
Duterme states, “With all the doubts about performance and quality of herbal remedies and the controversy about the effectiveness of Ginkgo biloba, we are encouraged by the response to Bacopa and the entire Pure Herbs line. Himalaya USA maintains that the extra work of “fingerprinting” each batch to ensure quality consistency is increasingly rewarded. Many products on the market today do not provide the health benefits they claim to; Bacopa does.”
