“helps promote calming and concentration
for mental performance…”*
Bacopa monniera
(Linn), commonly known as Brahmi, has been used in
traditional Ayurvedic medicine from antiquity as a memory
enhancing agent.
In well-designed human
studies, Bacopa55 has been shown to significantly promote
memory and enhance learning, as well as improving early
information processing, verbal learning and memory
consolidation. Bacopa55 provides a pronounced adaptogenic
effect, and significantly reduces anxiety state in humans
Using modern scientific
methods, scientists at Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI),
a premier research institute of the federal government of
India, conducted a systematic chemical examination of the
plant to identify the active constituents Bacoside A and
Bacoside B, of which Bacoside A was the major component.
Further investigations revealed that Bacosides A and B are
made up of two sets of saponins, called jujubogenin and
pseudojuujubogenin, which have only been found in this
plant.
Utilizing sophisticated
screening, the researchers developed a proprietary
standardized extract of Bacopa monniera comprising an
optimum concentration of triterpene saponins with a minimum
of 55± 5% of bacosides. This novel extract, Bacopa55™, has
been proven effective in human studies to enhance mental
acuity
Pilot investigations were
conducted to trace the memory enhancing effect of Bacopa55
in several well-established learning schedules using both
negative and positive reinforcements. The results
demonstrated that the memory enhancement effect of Bacopa55
is manifest both in facilitating the cognitive function as
well as augmenting the mental retention capacity.
In a children’s study with
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Bacopa55
showed significant improvements in memory scores of several
test systems, including sentence repetition, logical memory,
word recall (meaningful and non-meaningful), delayed
response, pair association and total recall.
Bacopa55 has also shown
benefits in elderly humans suffering from Age Associated
Memory Impairment (AAMI), with significant improvement in
mental control logical memory, digit forward, digit backward
and paired associated memory.
Bacopa55 is safe,
well-tolerated and devoid of any undesirable side effects.
