Bacopa Monnieri (Bacopa), also known as Brahmi, is a potent herb rooted in ancient wisdom. It has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine as a cognitive enhancer to treat Alzheimer's disease, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and epilepsy.
This fascinating plant is a natural nootropic that enhances neuron communication and improves hippocampus function. Bacopa optimises the activity of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are critical in reducing anxiety and improving mood & motivation.
It also increases acetylcholine levels by increasing the neurotransmitter's availability. Acetylcholine plays a vital role in cognitive function, including working memory performance, attention and learning.
Bacopa also contributes to long-range brain health through its favourable effect on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein essential for neurons' growth, maintenance and survival. As a powerful antioxidant, it protects your brain against oxidative stress, free radical damage and inflammation.
Furthermore, several studies have linked Bacopa supplementation to increased theta and alpha waves, brain waves associated with tranquillity and mindfulness.
Our Bacopa is precisely extracted to ensure specific ratios of bioactive constituents while maintaining natural composition.
Compounds known as saponins, including bacosides, bacopasides and bacopasaponins were identified as bioactive constituents of this potent herb. It is imperative to note that studies demonstrate these compounds work in unison with all the other chemical components in the herb to exert their powerful effects and optimise cognitive function.
In a nutshell, scientific evidence on Bacopa shows its benefits may include:
- Enhancing learning and memory*
- Easing anxiety*
- Improving stress tolerance*
- Increasing attention span*
