Why it's in Brain Fuel®

Bacopa Monnieri Extract, also known as BacoMind®, has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to enhance cognitive function.¹ The extract has been shown to improve attention, cognitive processing and working memory in healthy elderly individuals by suppressing acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity.¹ AChE is an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which plays a crucial role in memory and learning. By inhibiting AChE, Bacopa Monnieri Extract may increase acetylcholine levels, improving cognitive function. A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials found that Bacopa Monnieri has the potential to improve cognition, particularly speed of attention. The analysis included nine studies with 518 subjects and found that Bacopa Monnieri improved cognitive function, as measured by the Trail B test and choice reaction time.² A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial found that Bacopa Monnieri improved attention, cognitive processing and working memory in healthy elderly subjects.¹ The study used a standardised extract of Bacopa Monnieri and found that it suppressed acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, which may contribute to its cognitive-enhancing effects.
