May help lower blood pressure levels

High blood pressure is a severe health problem because it strains your heart and blood vessels. This can weaken your heart and raise your chances of developing heart disease. According to research, Bacopa monnieri may help keep blood pressure within a reasonable level. Bacopa monnieri lowered both systolic and diastolic blood pressure values in one animal research. It accomplished this by generating nitric oxide, which aids in the dilation of blood vessels, resulting in increased blood flow and decreased blood pressure.

Another research found that Bacopa monnieri dramatically reduced blood pressure levels in rats with the high blood pressure but had no impact on animals with normal blood pressure. In one 12-week research of 54 healthy older individuals, however, consuming 300 mg of Bacopa monnieri daily had no effect on blood pressure readings. According to current research, Bacopa monnieri may reduce blood pressure in animals with high blood pressure. Nonetheless, the further human study is needed to corroborate these findings.
