Bacopa monnieri
This ancient medicine was also used as a powerful cognitive enhancer and a neuroprotective supplement. That is why it is of great interest to us today. Bacopa possesses a wide range of benefits, especially for memory and studying, making it an indispensable supplement.
Let’s have a closer look at this ancient nootropic remedy!
Bacopa: What is it? 
Bacopa is a perennial flowering plant often used to improve mood and promote memory and successful studying due to its powerful nootropic properties. We will now talk about its active ingredient, bacoside A.
Although the plant has been used to treat all types of diseases for centuries, it has been discovered only recently that Bacopa has a powerful positive effect on cognitive functions, especially brain function and memory, as well as nerve cell protection.
Bacopa and its action
Bacopa affects several systems of the body. It primarily strengthens neural connections and increases the release of certain neurotransmitters due to its nootropic and anxiolytic (stress reducing) properties.
These positive effects of Bacopa are attributed to bacosides – powerful bioactive compounds that affect antioxidant enzymes (for example, superoxide dismutase) and regulate the neurotransmitter level in the brain, particularly acetylcholine, dopamine, GABA, and serotonin.
