Bacopa herb - Memory and alertness Information

Bacopa (Latin name: Bacopa Monnieri) has been used in Ayurveda for centuries and is included in the Brahmi category of herbs, supporting normal function of the mind, intellect, consciousness and good spirit. According to Alternative Medicine Review (March 2004), "Recent research has focused primarily on Bacopa's cognitive effects, specifically memory, learning, and concentration, and results support the traditional Ayurvedic claims."

Scientific Research on Bacopa

Scholars at the University of Wollongong in Australia conducted double-blind, placebo-controlled studies on Bacopa, showing it to support brain function. A similar study showed Bacopa helped support normal memory retention.

Researchers from Uttar Pradesh, India working with Frankston Hospital in Victoria, Australia, also found Bacopa showed a supportive effect on memory control and occasional age-associated memory challenges. (Indian Journal of Psychiatry, 2004, 48:4, 238-242)

Bacopa is also a powerful antioxidant, supports normal levels of antioxidants and enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), maintaining the structural integrity of the mitochondrial membrane that is an important respiratory organelle within the cell. (NIH, PubMed, 2005)

Several other research studies and published articles on Bacopa can be found on PubMed's website maintained by the National Institute of Health at pubmed.org.

Have any studies been done on Bacopa?
According to an article in Prevention magazine by Douglas Schar, "contemporary research proves that the ancient tradition of using Bacopa to improve intellect and mental acuity has legs: Bacopa tops at improving memory". According to Schar, one study of 76 adults, ages 40 to 65, showed a decrease in the rate of forgetting. Another human study showed that Bacopa improved the speed of information processing. And a very telling study revealed that when Bacopa was administered with a memory-blocking drug, drug-induced memory impairment was reduced, and memory acquisition and retention improved. "In my book, Bacopa is quite a good option for improving or increasing memory capacity. Moreover, its proven antioxidant activity may make it useful in preventing age-related memory loss" (Schar, 2003). Several other research studies and published articles on Bacopa can be found on PubMed's website maintained by the National Institute of Health.

Is Bacopa a standardized herbal medicine?
Himalaya Healthcare Company has solved the riddle of ensuring consistency of performance for herbal remedies through full control of all stages of production from growing the herbs on their own farms to adhering to pharma Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and stringent quality controls. Every Himalaya Pure Herb, including Bacopa, is fingerprinted using the most sophisticated chromatographic techniques to consistently maintain the highest quality.

Why buy Himalaya Bacopa when there are countless other brands available on the market?
It is important that you, as a consumer, look for products that have not only been researched clinically but are also "fingerprinted" to guarantee that "the science is in the pill". Fingerprinting refers to perfectly matching the entire phytoconstituent profile of the plant between the product on the market and the reference or standard on which the science has been generated. In other words, "fingerprinting" the entire make-up of the herbal product is the only way to verify bioequivalence. Himalaya, in fact, pioneered "fingerprinting" as the way to achieve consistency of performance of herbal remedies. Most companies that manufacture herbal medicines are not equipped nor care to perform such fingerprinting. Consequently for the consumer, most products on the market cannot truly make the claims they make because the bioequivalence of their herbal products has not been conclusively established through a match of their phytoconstituent profiles with the reference.
