ABOUT BACOPA MONNIERI

For over 3000 years, the herb Bacopa monnieri has been used in Ayurvedic medicine. As a neural tonic, it has traditionally been used to support intelligence, memory, and cognition as well as nerve regeneration and brain function. These traditional uses have led to the herb becoming a popular nootropic herb.
 
B.monnieri has primarily been studied for its effects on cognitive function and mood. Furthermore, B.monnieri has shown adaptogenic properties, supporting the nervous system and brain during times of stress.
 
There are saponins in B.monnieri known as bacosides. It is believed that these compounds, especially bacosides A and B, give the plant its nootropic reputation [1,2].
 
It is also believed that B.monnieri has strong antioxidant properties which may contribute to neuroprotection in the brain.
