Science and Pharmacology of Bacopa
Modern research has categorized several groups of phytochemical components that are thought to contribute to the pharmacological activity of Bacopa monniera:
The majority of contemporary 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 promote 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.
