Uses For Bacopa monnieri

Cognitive Support: Over the last thirty years, preliminary clinical trials involving Bacopa monnieri have suggested encouraging results for memory and mental performance. A three-month trial conducted by Australian scientists suggests that it may support learning, moderate stress, and promote memory. An animal study suggests the potential for bacopa to support mental function under stress. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo- controlled investigation, bacopa supported memory retention in adult subjects. The effects of this extract may, in part, be explained by antioxidant protection of important processing centers in the brain, including the frontal cortex, striatum and hippocampus. Bacopa may also help to promote healthy synaptic activity and neurotransmission in the brain.*
