About

Bacopa monnieri is an Ayurvedic herb traditionally used to enhance cognitive function. Its active compounds, bacosides, modulate serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine neurotransmitter systems while promoting antioxidant activity in the hippocampus. Multiple systematic reviews support small-to-moderate improvements in memory recall and processing speed after 8-12 weeks of consistent use.

How It Works

Enhances synaptic communication by modulating serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine neurotransmitter systems; active bacosides promote antioxidant activity in the hippocampus and support dendritic branching and synaptic repair.
