What is Bakopa?

Bacopa monnieri (small-leaved bacopa), commonly known as Brahmi, belongs to adaptogenic plants, with multidirectional action mainly related to the body's ability to improve memory and support the nervous system. It is a small, climbing herb of the plantain family. It occurs naturally all over the world in temperate to tropical climates. Its natural habitat is wetlands such as marshes and shallow bodies of water.

In addition to the appropriate dose, the concentration of bacosides as the active ingredient of bacopy is also important. The name brahmi comes from the word Brahma which translates the mythical creator in Hindu mythology. According to Indian philosophy, the brain is considered the center of creative activity, and thus bacopa is rightly called brahmi as an ingredient that improves this ability.

How does bakopa work?

Small-leaved bacopa is classified as an adaptogenic agent, i.e. it increases the body's resistance and allows for better coping with stress factors of the external environment. In addition, bacopa has a positive effect on mental health, having a calming and anxiolytic effect, as well as improving memory and cognitive functions, and has an antioxidant effect. The health-promoting effect of small-leaved bacopa has long been noticed in India, where the plant has been used successfully in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for 5,000 years.

Small-leaved bacopa extract is a source of many active substances that have a positive effect on the functioning of the body, among which the most important are bacosides. It is a group of saponin compounds to which bacopa extracts are standardized. In addition, the extract of small-leaved bacopa also contains a number of other substances beneficial to the body: polyphenols and flavonoids with strong antioxidant properties, phytosterols, tannins and terpenoids.

What standardization and origin of the extract?

Some supplements on the market are based on an extract that is low in bacosides. The extract contained in our product comes from a reputable Indian producer, Akay, and is characterized by high standardization for bacosides, amounting to 50%. This means that each capsule containing 500 mg of the extract contains as much as 250 mg of bacosides.
