Function
- 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 the elderly alike. 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 elderly 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

- 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.

- 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.
- Cardiovascular Support. 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.
- Antifungal. 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).
