What is Bacopa Extract? by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

I have recently found a product line that actually measures up to my standards on quality and living up to the promises they make.  That in itself is no easy feat for a company to do as far as I’m concerned.

One of the products that I have been using is their coffee.  This is not ordinary coffee by any means.  This coffee has health benefits that I have not found in other coffee products.

Focused Ingredient

I want to focus on is one ingredient in this coffee.  The ingredient is called Bacopa extract which comes from the Bacopa monnieri plant.  This herb has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries.  The common English name is “water hyssop”.

Use

Bacopa extract is most often used for memory enhancing.  Numerous clinical studies have determined that people who were given 125mg of Bacopa extract for 12 to 16 weeks showed memory improvement.  Studies also showed improvement in reduction of anxiety and depression in elderly test subjects.

Conclusion of the studies

The conclusion of the researchers was that Bacopa extract yielded significant improvement in mental control, logical memory and paired associated learning during the 12-week drug therapy.  It is efficacious in subjects with age-associated memory impairment.  Researchers found that  Bacopa monnieri is a potentially safe herb to enhance cognitive performance in the aging process and support of cognitive activity.

The side effects experienced by some test subjects were limited to gastrointestinal difficulties such as increased stool frequency, abdominal cramps, and nausea, none of which was proved to be significantly debilitation.  A few listed dry mouth and muscle fatigue.

Overall, research reported that Bacopa extract is safe and appears to be effective toward improving memory.

Enjoy your cup of coffee!
