Bacopa
Strengthen your mind and improve your memory with Bacopa monnieri, a medicinal herb that has been used effectively for hundreds of years to rejuvenate the brain and nervous system. This Ayurvedic adaptogenic herb has been shown in clinical trials to increase mental clarity, improve memory, enhance learning, and promote relaxation, providing support for cognitive dysfunction, depression, hyperactivity, attention deficit disorders, anxiety, and to calm restlessness in children.

Bacopa has antioxidant properties and improves protein activity and synthesis, particularly in brain and nervous tissue. It has been found to protect against oxidative damage induced by pharmaceutical agents such as morphine and the epilepsy drug phenytoin. Its antioxidant effects may also provide protection from age-related cognitive decline.

Bacopa may also help regulate thyroid function. An animal study found Bacopa increased T4 levels by 41 percent, suggesting its role as a thyroid stimulant.

Studies indicate Bacopa has potent anti-ulcer activity. It appears to have gastric-protective effects by enhancing mucin secretion and mucosal glycoprotein synthesis while decreasing cell shedding.

Bacopa is well suited for students as it can enhance the ability to learn and focus, and, d to its calming effects, may be particularly useful for people who want to improve mental function during stressful conditions.

Research demonstrates a therapeutic dose of Bacopa is in the range of 100-400 mg daily. Recommended dosage of Thorne's Bacopa: 1-2 capsules daily.
