Bacopa Monnieri is considered a fine "brain tonic" that has been used for centuries to improve mental and brain functions, enhance clear thinking, support learning and memory. Traditional applications already suggest that it has a direct effect on increasing concentration, and modern laboratory tests claim that Bacopa provides antioxidant protection for the critical memory centers and helps to reduce the effects of stress on the brain. The bacosides (saponins) in Bacopa appear to play a protective role in the synaptic functions of the nerves of the hippocampus, the seat of memory. Nerve impulses are transmitted across the synapses (the gap between two neurons, over which impulses lead to learning), and their degeneration is believed to contribute to impaired memory and cognition. Use of Bacopa is thus thought to improve learning skills and impaired memory. Bacopa extracts also appear to have significant antioxidant activity in the brain and other effects that may help protect brain cells.
