Bacopa is rich in antioxidants and compounds with anti-inflammatory activity such as flavonoids, alkaloids, Vitamin C , saponins, triterpenoids and bacosides A and B.

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.
