Introduction to Bacopa: Bacopa Monniera is a genus of 70-100 aquatic plants in the family Plantaginaceae. The plants are annual or perennial, decumbent or erect stemmed plants. Crushed Bacopa leaves have the distinct scent of lemons.

Bacopa Monniera is used prominently in Ayurveda, a holistic medicine system from India, and has been used since approximately the 6th century AD.

Common uses: Memory, attention and other cognitive functions, occasional panic and anxiety, mental/physical fatigue, immune system response



Pharmacology and Phytochemicals: Much modern research has focused on the activity Bacopa Monniera demonstrates in the Central Nervous System. Recent studies indicate that Bacosides, B. Monniera’s primary components, enhance nerve impulse transmission, possibly helping improve concentration, learning, memory, and attention span as well as other higher order cognitive functions. Preliminary lab results also suggest it influences that production and availability of Serotonin.

Scientists state that B. Monniera likely affects multiple systems in the body in order to promote emotional well-being, mental sharpness, and physical endurance.

Mechanisms of Action: Bacopa Monniera has been identified in clinical study as an adaptogen that increases resistance to a wide range of chemical, physical, and biological stressors.

Usage: Adult usage of Bacopa is between 100mg – 500mg per day. For children, 10mg – 50mg is sufficient.

Safety, Side Effects and Warnings: Bacopa has shown excellent tolerability in studies involving adults and children, and no drug related adverse effects were reported.
