Bacopa (Bacopa Monnieri)

Also known as: Aindri, Bacopa Monnieri, Brahmi, Herb of Grace, Indian Pennywort, Jalabrahmi, Thyme-leafed Gratiola, Water Hyssop

Traditionally used for cognitive support (and an ingredient in our Pure Brainpower formula for that reason) Bacopa monnieri is also effective as an adaptogen. In fact, this herb’s adaptogenic effects may contribute to its cognitive-boosting abilities. Studies show that Bacopa monnieri interacts with the dopamine and serotonergic systems and may help reduce the effects of physiological stress. It also supports memory acquisition and retention, promotes neuron communication and provides antioxidant support.
