Bakopa – an Ayurvedic plant for brain health

Solaray Bacopa Extract is a product that contains an extract of the ayurvedic plant of the same name, also known by the scientific name Bacopa monnieri. The exceptional effect of bacopa on cognitive functions and the nervous system has been recognized since ancient times in Chinese and Indian culture, and Yogis in the Himalayas use it in their daily diet and meditation because it gives energy, helps to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and increases the “shine” of the body and aura. Bacopa leaf extract provides 20% of bacosides A and B, which are a source of quality antioxidants

Bacopa’s bioactive components (bacosides) protect the brain from oxidative damage and cognitive deterioration associated with aging (Saraf et al., 2011; Mukherjee et al., 2011), improve memory and learning ability (Rajan, Prethi, & Singh, 2015). In a clinical study conducted by Kumar et al. (2016) among 60 medical students, oral intake of 150 mg of bacopa extract significantly improved biochemical analyses. There was an increase in serum calcium and improved memory. For this reason, bakopa is extremely popular among students and businessmen because, in addition to improving memory and intellectual abilities, it increases concentration and alertness, and reduces the effects of stress, nervousness and anxiety. It is also used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, behavioral disorders, and memory disorders. Bakopa has a stimulating effect, causing faster blood flow and better oxygenation of tissues and organs.

In addition to being an excellent agent for brain health, bacopa acts as a nerve and heart tonic as well as a diuretic. Bacopa Extract is a completely non-toxic preparation, but with increased doses it can cause a state of wakefulness that is similar to the strong effect of caffeine, although it does not contain caffeine, guaranine or other harmful substances
