What it is
Bacopa monnieri is a botanical often labelled brahmi. Extract standardisation matters when comparing a product with research.
Sources: National Library of Medicine, PubMed
What the cited evidence shows
A systematic review of six controlled human trials found studies mainly assessed memory over twelve weeks and used three different extracts. Memory free-recall findings were more consistent than other cognitive domains; it calls for research across extracts and outcomes.
