May boost brain function

According to research, Bacopa monnieri may aid improve brain function. One research in mice, for example, found that supplementing with Bacopa monnieri increased their spatial learning and capacity to remember knowledge. According to the same study, it boosted dendritic length and branching. Dendrites are brain nerve cell sections that are strongly associated with learning and memory.

In addition, a 12-week trial of 46 healthy people found that ingesting 300 mg of Bacopa monnieri daily significantly increased visual information processing speed, learning rate, and memory when compared to the placebo therapy. Another 12-week research of 60 older persons indicated that ingesting 300 mg or 600 mg of Bacopa monnieri extract daily enhanced memory, attention, and information processing compared to the placebo therapy.
