Bacopa monnieri was first described around the 6th century A.D. in ancient Sanskrit texts. These texts categorize Bacopa monnieri as a Medhya Rasayana (medhya meaning intellect; rasayana meaning rejuvenation); a class of herbs known to improve memory and intelligence.
Nowadays Bacopa monnieri is acknowledged as a nootropic which enhances brain function. Modern day research has scientifically validated this herb for its historical use, where numerous studies have demonstrated the herb’s abilities to improve memory, learning capabilities and concentration.
