Description
Organic Bacopa Monnieri Extract is a herb long revered in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for its cognitive-enhancing properties. In India, bacopa monnieri extract is known as a brain tonic and it has a long tradition for improving learning problems, memory and concentration.
The herb contains large amounts of potassium salt, containing a lot of dihydroxyethyl amine, malic acid, arrows sugar, vitamin B1, B2 and other nutrients. Research indicate it has a range of health benefits and therapeutic potentials. It has an inhibitory effect on for example shigella, escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria, which is why it known is as a “natural antibiotic”.
Cognition
Bacopa monnieri is renowned for its ability to support cognitive health. It enhances memory, focus, and overall cognitive function. Regular supplementation may improve learning capacity and information retention, making it beneficial for students, professionals, and retiries. The effect of promoting cognitive function is mainly due to the two active saponins A and B.
Neuroprotective
The bioactive compounds in bacopa monnieri exhibit neuroprotective effects, safeguarding brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and neurotoxins. By preserving neuronal integrity, Bacopa supports long-term brain health and may reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline. For instance, a recent research at Southern Cross University in Australia backs up the benefits on aging people. In a sample of healthy older people showed a remarkable ability to improve memory acquisition and retention. An earlier 2007 study at Texas A&M University found that bacopa reduces amyloid deposits in mice with Alzheimer’s.
Stress
Bacopa monnieri has adaptogenic properties, helping the body adapt to stressors more effectively. It modulates the production of stress hormones like cortisol, promoting a sense of calmness and relaxation. This can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and promote mental well-being.
Calming
By different from mechanisms from benzodiazepines, bacopa saponins can improve cognitive function while producing anti-anxiety effect, while traditional calming medications can cause dementia-like side-effects. Not only does not cause dementia, but can enhance the memory function of dementia animals.
Antioxidant
Bacopa monnieri is rich in antioxidants that combat free radicals and oxidative damage throughout the body. This contributes to overall health by reducing inflammation, protecting cells from damage, and supporting the body’s natural defense systems.
Mood
Bacopa monnieri may help regulate mood and promote emotional well-being by modulating neurotransmitter levels, particularly S, D, and GABA, which play key roles in mood regulation and emotional stability. Studies have found results especially when taken regularly.
Heart
Some studies suggest that bacopa monnieri may have cardioprotective effects by lowering blood pressure, improving lipid profiles, and enhancing circulation. These benefits contribute to heart health and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Anti-Inflammatory
Bacopa monnieri contains compounds with anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate inflammation in the body. This can benefit overall health by reducing the risk of various chronic inflammatory conditions and in supporting joint health.
Anti-Fungal
A study published in the International Journal of Pharmacology found the plant has antifungal properties against Microsporum (ex. ringworm), Aspergillus flavus (ex. infects the lungs), Aspergillus niger (ex. fungal ear infections), and Trichophyton rubrum (athlete’s foot).
