It is a medicinal plant with nootropic properties used for at least 3000 years in India as a treatment for enhancing memory and cognitive abilities as well as many other brain-related ailments.

Bacopa is rich in antioxidants and compounds with anti-inflammatory activity such as flavonoids, alkaloids, Vitamin C , saponins, triterpenoids and bacosides A and B. Several studies have shown that the bacosides present in Bacopa are the components responsible for the beneficial effects in improving cognitive function. This effect is given by the increase in the transmission of nerve impulse. The bacosides contribute to the repair of damaged neurons thanks to the increase in protein kinases. It also has a strong neuroprotective effect thanks to several antioxidant mechanisms.
