Bacopa | Brahmi | Water Hyssop
Bacopa monnieri Leaf Extract is made from aerial parts of the plants harvested in India and uses a 10:1 herb to extract ratio.
Bacopa monnieri Leaf Extract is standardized to contain 20% bacosides, calculated as the sum of bacopaside I, bacoside A3, bacopaside II, jujubogenin isomer of bacopasaponin C and bacopasaponin C.
Bacopa monnieri Leaf Extract is NON-GMO and vegan.
Clinical studies using standardized Bacopa monnieri extracts typically use between 250-640 mg of these concentrated extracts. These doses have been equivalent to 3000 to 9000 mg of the dried herb. We consider B. monnieri to be in the adaptogenic herb category, following hormetic dosing principles (see Neurohacker Dosing Principles) with a high likelihood of having a hormetic range (i.e., a dosing range below and above which results could be poorer). We have selected to dose this at an amount that is consistent with the studied amount in the human clinical studies for supporting cognitive function and mood.*
