What is Bacopa Monnieri?
Bacopa Monnieri is a creeping herb native to wetland areas, with a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic practice, most often associated with memory and learning support.
Why is it associated with memory?
Bacopa contains compounds called bacosides, which have been the focus of research examining the plant's traditional cognitive-support reputation and its potential mechanisms of action.
What does the research say?
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have examined Bacopa Monnieri's efficacy for cognitive enhancement and memory improvement, along with its safety and tolerability in healthy adults. General background is available via the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
