BACOPA MONNIERI – natural support for the digestive system and support for the proper functioning of the nervous system
In India, bacopa is locally known as brahmi. Practitioners of traditional plant systems classify it as medhya rasayana – an herb that supports intellectual function and cognitive processes.
Key support vectors and biological properties
- Supporting the functioning of the central nervous system,
- Supporting emotional balance and stabilizing mood,
- Optimizing memory processes and cognitive function,
- Supporting concentration processes,
- Protective effect on protein and lipid structure against oxidative damage,
- Supporting the natural health of the liver and digestive system,
- Analyzing the effect on optimizing neurological parameters in scientific studies.
In other words, bacopa is probably one of the oldest known nootropics in the world. The herb contains a blend of synergistic compounds that can support brain health, neutralize free radicals and promote the maintenance of normal levels of acetylcholine – a key neurotransmitter for memory processes. Unlike many synthetic substances, bacopa shows a high safety profile.
In particular, bacopa exhibits physiological supportive effects: it affects the activity of enzymes responsible for acetylcholine metabolism, which promotes effective neural transmission. (source)
Bacopa may also support optimal levels of serotonin and GABA in the hippocampus, which promotes feelings of calm, relaxation and emotional stability. (source)
Support for cognitive function and memory:
Research suggests that bacopa promotes improvements in cognitive performance, attention and reaction time (analysis in a study group of more than 500 people). (source)
In a laboratory setting, effects on focus and learning processes were also observed in people of different ages. (source)
In studies involving people over 65, bacopa supported mental comfort and cognitive function. Other research work confirms a favorable effect on the speed of information assimilation. (source)
Support of physiological processes in stressful situations and antioxidant protection are the main areas in which bacopa shows its effectiveness, as confirmed by numerous scientific publications.
