Reno,United States - January 6, 2023 /PressCable/ —
The new campaign is accompanied by a report that disseminates the latest research from a host of scientific journals, exploring the positive health outcomes of herbal alternatives to pharmaceutical interventions. TheDr.com provides a large database of information and insight into complementary approaches to a range of physiological and neurological conditions. Dr. O’Bryan has written a new nutrition guide to brain health which is also now available through the company website.

Dr. O’Bryan’s recent statement draws on the findings of a paper published by the Nutrition Research and Practice journal that demonstrated how licorice root can improve learning capacity and recall. The same animal study showed a significant increase in the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in cognitively-impaired subjects.
According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, licorice root has been used for centuries by Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, and Assyrian cultures to treat an array of health conditions. These include lung, liver, circulatory, kidney, and cognitive impairments. Nowadays, it is also used to treat digestive issues and menopausal symptoms as well as bacterial and viral infections.
Dr. O’Bryan explains how inflammation lies at the heart of many cognitive disorders. A study in the RSC Advances journal revealed licorice root to have significant antioxidant properties and to have a notable impact on limiting neuronal damage in the hippocampus. This is due to licorice’s primary active compound – the triterpenoid saponin-rich glycyrrhizin.
The report also highlights licorice root’s potential in treating mental health problems such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder. By stimulating the adrenal gland, licorice extract can help to regulate the stress hormone cortisol within the body.

A spokesperson says, “When considering brain health, you’ll want to include herbal support that is both Nootropic (supports better brain health) and Neurotrophic (supports building healthier brain and nerve cells). You might consider these the “preeminent foods” for better cognitive function. They may help improve cognitive performance, increase processing speed, sharpen reaction time, boost learning and retention, and can even lower stress response.”
