Solaray Avena Sativa 350 mg - 100 Capsules

Increases dopamine level by inhibiting MAO, improves sleep and slows down glucose release into blood after meal.

I take Avena Sativa as a nootropic. Should be noted this extract is from the stem, while some is from the leaf, research is unclear if one is better than the other so would be nice if it was both. Refer to PMID: 26618715, this study showed that 800mg of green-oats extract increased the speed of performance across post-dose assessments on a global measure including data from all of the timed tasks. It also improved performance of a delayed word recall task in terms of errors and an executive function task in terms of decreased thinking time and overall completion time. Working memory span was also increased, but only on the second occasion that this dose was taken. These results imply acute cognitive effects of avena sativa seen in previous research, and suggest that the optimal dose lies at or below 800 mg.
