A Brief Introduction to Bacopa Monniera

Bacopa monniera, also know as Water Hyssop, is prominently used in Ayurveda, a holistic system of medicine originating from India. Historically, the use of Bacopa monniera dates back to approximately the 6th century AD. Today, practitioners of Ayurveda recognize Bacopa monniera as an adaptogen, a physiological agent that naturally increases the body’s resistance to physical and emotional stress.

Modern research indicates that the active components derived from Bacopa monniera provide positive support for:

      • Focus, attention span, concentration, memory, mental sharpness and other healthy cognitive functions
      • Mental and physical fatigue caused by emotional stress
      • Occasional nervousness, nervous tension and anxiety
      • Healthy immune system function

Bacopa monniera is well-tolerated and maintains an excellent safety profile. To date, medical literature confirms that there have been no adverse events related to the use Bacopa as a dietary supplement.

How Bacopa Monniera is Thought to Work

Modern research has categorized several groups of phytochemical components that are thought to contribute to the pharmacological activity of Bacopa monniera:

      • Bacosides
      • Alkaloids
      • Glycosides

The majority of research has focused on the broad-spectrum of activity Bacopa monniera demonstrates in the Central Nervous System (CNS). Recent studies indicate that Bacosides, the primary components of Bacopa, enhance nerve impulse transmission, which may help to support healthy cognitive functions like focus, concentration, attention span, learning and memory. Preliminary laboratory results also suggest that Bacopa monniera influences the production and availability of the neurotransmitter Serotonin, and it is thought that Bacopa may help to provide positive support for a healthy neurotransmitter balance. Bacopa monniera has been identified in clinical analysis as an adaptogen that increases the body’s resistance to a wide range of chemical, biological, and physical stressors. Scientists explain that Bacopa monniera likely affects multiple body systems to promote emotional well-being, physical endurance, and mental sharpness.
