How It Works

Bacopa's active compounds, called bacosides, enhance nerve impulse transmission by supporting the growth of nerve endings (dendrites). They also modulate key neurotransmitters including acetylcholine, serotonin, and dopamine. Additionally, bacosides provide antioxidant protection specifically in brain regions responsible for memory.
