Product descriptions
Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is a medicinal plant native to tropical and subtropical areas. Commonly found in the swampy regions of India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, China and Taiwan. In the Americas, it is found from the southern USA (mainly Virginia, Florida and Texas) through Central America to Paraguay and Brazil, in regions not higher than 1300 m altitude.
Bacopa monnieri was one of the first plants to be studied in detail by the CDRI (Central Drug research of India), an institute established in the 1960s to research the potential of many medicinal plants indigenous to India. In India, this plant was traditionally used to open the gateway to intelligence for newborn babies. This was presumably based on the positive effects of this plant on the brain.
The whole plant can be used medicinally. Its active ingredients are steroidal saponins called 'Bacoside', such as Bacoside A, which helps the blood supply to the brain, and Bacoside B, which helps the brain metabolise proteins. Brahmite is used to enhance mental performance and to boost both short and long-term memory.
It is consumed by American students before exams to reduce study stress and improve concentration . Studies have shown that it has positive effects on concentration disorders, AD(H)S (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and helps with fatigue. It helps with stress-induced anxiety and helps with depression.
Another positive aspect is that, thanks to its antioxidant properties, it decimates free radicals in the body (chemical fragments that attack the genetic material and cells) and thus has a certain cancer-preventive effect.
