Bacopa monnieri – The #1 Herbal Nootropic*
Helps Concentration and Memory, Increases Neuroprotection and Cerebral Blood Flow, Balances Neurotransmitters plus Much More*
Bacopa has been so revered over the years that the Hindus named this herb “Brahmi,” named after their creator god Brahma.
Other names include Water Hyssop, Moneywort, or Herb of Grace. It has been used in the Ayurvedic tradition for several thousand years as a Rasayana, to make new again, reversing age related decline in both the physical and mental realms as well as increasing a sense of wholesomeness.*
- May promote optimal mood*
- Reduces stress*
- Increases memory, concentration, and reaction time*
- Protects the brain and neurons*
- May balance certain neurotransmitters*
Bacopa Rejuvenates the Mind and Brain*
The capabilities of Bacopa for promoting memory recall and other mental functions has been the primary use of the herb for a very long time indeed. Research, though limited, has begun to shed light on how it does this.
One method is through its constituents Bacoside A, jujubogenin and pseudojujubogenin which break down in the body to ebelin lactone and bacogenin A1. These two have been shown to have high blood brain barrier penetration and directly bind to receptor sites that act to increase cognitive and memory prowess.1*
Bacopa has also been shown to help manage the neurotransmitter balance in the cerebral cortex (specifically of acetylcholine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and dopamine) and through this action help with mental conditions that can result from an imbalance of these.2*
Another study found very favorable results in restless young children of 7 years old. It effectively decreased restlessness and increased concentration and self-control in the previously diagnosed group after six months of a daily 225 mg extract.3*
Current evidence suggests Bacopa increases cerebral blood flow and also reduces β-amyloid plaques (which contribute to age-related brain decline). It’s also being looked at for helping in other brain health applications with its dopamine-regulating effects.4*
Adaptogen and Rasayana
Bacopa could be considered an adaptogen of the highest order. Its anti-stress effects come primarily through its ability to fortify the mind to withstand prolonged mental stress (whatever that may be) and a sound mind translates into less stress throughout the body.*
Many bodily effects of Bacopa are therefore a rebalancing in reaction to less cortisol in the body.*
One action is through prevention of neuronal dysfunction through oxidative processes.5* This helps the brain recover quicker during sleep which translates to optimal brain performance the following day.* A tired mind is an inefficient mind. Neurons have been shown to get tired with length of stress and lack of sleep. Bacopa helps prevent tired neurons and their much weaker response to daily stressors, restoring work capacity and thus improving all mental functions.*
In addition to helping the mind adapt to stress, Bacopa has been shown to have neuroprotective effects against toxins.6* This is important in today’s human-made chemically saturated world and can help prevent aging of the brain through unseen toxin exposure.
In Ayurveda, particular Rasayana’s target specific organs and so there came to be categories that Rasayana’s would be grouped into. A Madhya Rasayana is a Rasayana that targets the mind specifically.7* This is what bacopa falls under among other herbs like ashwagandha.
Other Benefits of Bacopa monnieri
Traditionally, Bacopa has been used for optimal bowel movements and digestion.* When combined with other herbs in a paste it would be a valuable addition to get herbs through to someone dealing with issues in these areas.
Luteolin, a compound in Bacopa has been shown to possess strong anti-microbial effects against the much-feared bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. It was shown to work better then anti-biotics at binding to the receptor sites of the cell.7*
Additionally, certain fungi found in Bacopa were found to possess a powerful cytotoxic and anti-microbial effect that may be passed along to the rest of the body.8*
Certified Organic Real Spectrum Extract
When it comes to nootropics, most are either drugs or isolated nutrients. But Bacopa is often used in its full form.
Even so, it is often standardized for bacosides. What this means is certain parts of it are discarded in order to reach this “standard” of what we think is the most useful part.
We’ve decided to go in a different direction using a real spectrum extract. This means that everything that is in the plant is here in its natural ratios. This allows you to get the benefits with less of a chance of side effects.
Still, for those curious, there are 15% bacosides in this extract. That means there’s plenty of other saponins, including bacopasides as well as alkaloids like brahmine and monnierasides and much more.
We’re also happy to announce that our Bacopa extract is 100% certified organic.
How to Take Bacopa
This powdered extract comes in a 30-gram bag (approximately one ounce).
The recommended dose is 250 mg twice a day, morning and night. Each dose is about 1/8th of a teaspoon. At this dose, each bag will last you two months!
For best results, you’ll need to take bacopa every day for a couple of months. As an adaptogen, it works better the longer you take it.
That being said this is one that I tend to feel right away and you might too. There’s an immediate amount of focus as the “mental cobwebs” disappear.
It is best to take with food, as bacopa side effects sometimes include upset stomach. Historically, it was typically taken with ghee, as a fat source can provide better absorption and utilization.
You can use it as a pick me up any time you need better concentration and/or to get work done. Bacopa is great for meditating too!
Contraindications
Bacopa monnieri is largely safe for even small children to consume.
However, research has shown that it does possess the potential for herb-drug interactions when consumed with pharmaceutical drugs.10Â Please ask your doctor or do your own independent research.

I feel more alert when taking Bacopa
Happy mama (verified owner) –
As with all the herbs I’ve tried and continue taking-Bacopa is no exception. I have been taking as directed for over a month now and can say, it’s awesome! It wasn’t the enhanced focus that I first noticed, but the fact that I generally feel more uplifted mentally-I feel more social and generally happy-I’m a pretty happy person in general, but this gives the brain an extra boost for the day!And yes, the ability to stay focused is a wonderful benefit too!
Bob Blair (verified owner) –
The Bacopa is excellent quality! I would recommend to anyone.
Joe (verified owner) –
I don’t know how to explain it but I’ve been taking your bacopa product for about a month as directed.
I am noticing less brain fog and the ability to get my work done a little easier. I noticed something after about a week while I was making my normal crappy commute to my office. Usually I am so exhausted and in a fog while driving and it started concerning me. I now take the bacopa in the morning, and I feel more clear minded, and it’s hard to explain, but my vision seems better because my mind is relaxed. I am definitely re-ordering. Thank you for making quality products.
John Mercier (verified owner) –
Amazing! Perfect! Gave me a great sense of calm and peacefullness
John Pruit (verified owner) –
Since I began taking this product 3 weeks ago, my unforced memory has improved markedly.
Terence Baker (verified owner) –
No more brain fog. Good product.
David V. (verified owner) –
I’m just echoing everything said here. If you want clarity, focus, energy and calmness to get through your day, Bacopa should be one of the herbs you turn to.
Floyd N Mullins –
Bacopa definitely helps clear the mental fog. I take it twice daily. In the morning and a lunch to stay sharper while I am driving the school bus. It also helps me breath better. It helps with lung capacity.
Edward Mccarthy –
I’m 80 and my wife is in a nursing home with dementia. I’ve been taking Bocapa for some months now once a day in the am. I am surprised how it or some of the herbs have helped me. I did get diagnosed with melanoma on a spot this week but it seems to be early stage. I’m very impressed with Lost Empire, I’m pretty randy for 80. I wish I knew what the best herbs for skin was? Any suggestions, any one?
Chelsea Satterthwaite –
Hey there Edward! Have you looked into pearl powder?
Chelsea Satterthwaite –
Hey Edward!
I wanted to reach out to you, despite it being a while since you left your comment and recommend some medicinal mushrooms. Reishi, Chaga and Lions mane may help, or you could try our mushroom alchemy tincture.
Moriah (verified owner) –
Love bacopa! Helped me out a lot with my stress.
Roger Cupples (verified owner) –
It helped to nourish my brain and remember and think clearer.
Steve Bannon (verified owner) –
Bacopa provided me with clarity and energy almost immediately. Love that stuff!
Leonardo Delgado (verified owner) –
Bacopa is my favorite nootropic no question! It makes my cognitive function much, much better! The difference is noticeable from when I’m not taking it. Combining it with Gotu kola, Lions Mane and/or Rhodiola in my coffee is my favorite way to boost brain function! I believe everyone should experience the effects of Bacopa!
jaap (verified owner) –
I have only used Bacopa combined with Schisandra, Albizia, Lion’s Mane, Pine Pollen and Ashwaganda, With this combination I can manage and achieve much more simultaneously. My self-assurance is much higher. My drive to undertake things is higher and my memory is better.
And above all, I am a better husband and a better dad because I’m not so stressed all the time.
John (verified owner) –
I tried on bag but I did not see BBC any difference. My plan is to buy another and report back. Btw, it doesn’t taste too good but I didn’t expect itvto.
John r (verified owner) –
I Love this stuff. I definitely notice the increased focus and concentration. Exactly what i was looking for. Been taking about a year.
Aldo (verified owner) –
Great product and big results!!! right away you start taking it
Thanks guys for provide quality products an affordable price
christine shekoski (verified owner) –
I am a 65yr old women and noticed issues with memory. I started taking Bacopa 1/4 teaspoon daily and noticed the changes in my memory. I was really suprised how I could remember things now without effort. I am still working with memory as I have been taking Bacopa for about 45 days now. I still having some issues with memory but not as bad as it was. I think this may take more time for me to completely get all my memory back. But Bacopa has definitely helped me in this process.
Jim S. (verified owner) –
I have been taking it for a while now. I usually take it about a half hour before I go to play a game called pickleball. As the information I read. Said that it helped with focus, and calming the mind. More or less heightening concentration capabilities. I seem to feel more locked on to the ball. My movements on the court. I mix it with the Mucuna. And it just seems to be helping me with mood, focus, & energy. I am pretty happy with how I feel while playing. I use the Tongkat Ali also. So far, believe all these herbs are producing the results that were described in the details link. I would much rather go the route of natural supplementation. In my opinion. Good stuff!
Ira Plattner (verified owner) –
Bacopa works for me. Very noticeably gives me focus and attention within seconds. I find myself ahead of the crowd, often knowing what is going on before it happens. Clarity is its domain.
Charles Macdonald –
My 2nd favorite tincture behind the pine pollen tincture. I’ve used ashwaganda for several years and the combination with bacopa enhances the effects. Highly recommend this tincture.

Steve (verified owner) –
The Bacopa is nothing more than AMAZING! Like other reviews mention it is a game changer. Just a morning dose and another mid afternoon and the energy, clarity and presence of mind is astonishing. No more energy drinks with the rush and crash cycles.
Zane Christopher –
Steve, just wait until when get Gotu Kola out. Combining the two in the morning is probably my favorite herbal nootropic combination right now!
Kevin (verified owner) –
Bacopa was a game changer in my memory enhancement this last semester at school. I take this every morning and before tests. Just add a .5 teaspoon to water and drink. I am able to effortlessly recall vocabulary as well as things I was supposed to do on a daily basis. If before bacopa I where to say a “fog” hung over my memory, after taking regularly the “fog” was lifted and my rational thought process improved.
If you are in school or if you just want to actually remember shit, take bacopa regularly! DO IT!!!!!!
Zane Christopher –
Thank you Kevin that’s awesome!
Kobi Shlomo (verified owner) –
Zane, I was specifically mentioning the #7 above in regards to tincture. Anytime that I can bypass the Digestive System to get medicines (herbal plant based or synthetic), I prefer it so sublingual, tincture, topical (if possible regarding quantity/quality), IV or IM. Tincture and Sublingual is usually best for most uses. IV and IM are great for Clinical usages.
Kobi Shlomo (verified owner) –
Note: In regards to my Review from above, I want to edit the amount that I was taking from 1/4 Tsp. to 1/4 TBSP.
Note2: However, with the onset of taking Schisandra, I will most likely decrease this back to a more normal dosage. More on Schisandra on a later date, but it is looking REAL good thus far.
Note3: Thank you very much Zane and Mikayla!
1) From a Medicinal/Big Pharma point of view, Bacopa is noted to treat back pain, joint pain/Rheumatism, ADHD, Allergies, IBS, tonic to fight stress, tiredness, insomnia/sleeping issues, concentration, nervousness, racing heart beat, stomach discomfort, fatigue, it also increases the Thyroid Hormone in Human Beings and others.
2) Due to #1 above, no VUNDER why I feel so much better while taking Bacopa because the injuries left me dealing with all the above AND THEN SOME!
3) I have yet to feel the lift in the Mental Health (well being) as many people have claimed to have, but due to the significant injuries that I have had and still have, I will settle for the rejuvenation of the mind and body as the spirit will push the other two forward until the appropriate time.
3) As of September/1 October, I had no hope of returning to the work force, but thanks to Bacopa (and some others including recently) I am looking to return in short order and then as a Critical Executive Protection Operative in dangerous zones so that should tell you something about how strong these Herbs are. I have been a Big Pharma Advocate for years (still am), but I am FASTLY becoming a YUGE Fan of Herbal Plant Medicines that have worked for thousands of years through that many human trials!
Kobi Shlomo (verified owner) –
1) I suffered from a double whip lash injury resulting in multiple injuries to the left fifth digit of my left hand without a fracture, back, spine and head.
2) Most prescription pain relievers (even Oxycontin) were like taking a Placebo. Acupuncture did not seem to relief anything for me at the time I was given that treatment, but I suspect that it may do some good now. Chiropractors and LMTs (Licensed Massage Therapists) did more for pain relief than anything the MDs did. Steroidal Injections via the Radiologist gives nominal pain relief, but this works for about a day now and only once every three months. I have asked that the VA change the medicine to Lorazepam but the VA does not have many MDs experienced in using this via Injections.
3) The TBI injuries have not truly been attended to by the Progressive Nazi T-4 Program Center of America aka the Veterans Administration although prescribed an anti-Seizure medicine which also turned out to be a placebo.
4) While I do not suffer from Epilepsy, I am familiar enough that many of the medicines prescribed for Epilepsy are also prescribed for many other types of seizures which is why I tried Bacopa in the first place.
5) The only Big Pharma medicine that has actually helped in any manner for my seizures is in the Ativan family of medicines and specifically Lorazepam which was injected into my spinal areas three levels deep in my Cervical and Thoracic areas. From my understanding, this procedure worked as well as it did because it not only treated the areas in my spine that were hurting, but also traveled directly up inside my Cranium where it was also needed.
6) Bacopa has not resolved all my seizures, but for a daily treatment, it has given me more pain relief and more relief from the seizures that I still suffer from on a daily basis than anything else that has been prescribed for me to take Orally. I take much more than what Lost Empire Herbs recommends, but I take it every time I eat and/or with a glass of Beef Bone Broth that has cooked for at least 24 hours with natural oils/Coconut Oil/grass fed cow butter/Ghee. I take at least 1/4 Tsp. 3 TID (Times In A Day). Bacopa is not a pain reliever persay, but eliminating many seizures (the source of much of the pain) alleviates much of the pain.
7) I wonder if Lost Empire Herbs can create a Tincture of this with other anti-Seizure Herbs in order to by-pass the Digestive System and go more directly to the source.?!
8) Zane, Cloud, Logan. What say you.?!
