Nutridom Bacopa Monnieri 3000 mg | Soutien cérébral | Concentration et bien-être cognitif | 60 gélules végétales

Bacopa monnieri is a creeping aquatic herb native to the wetlands of India and Southeast Asia, known in Ayurvedic medicine as Brahmi. It has been used for over 3,000 years as a medhya rasayana a class of Ayurvedic herbs used to support intellect, memory, and mental clarity. Helps to support cognitive health and brain function. Traditionally used in Ayurveda for memory enhancement.

Bacosides are the primary active compounds in Bacopa monnieri a group of triterpenoid saponins (specifically dammarane-type saponins) found primarily in the leaves, comprising Bacoside A and Bacoside B. Bacosides are the compounds most studied for Bacopa's cognitive effects. Standardization to 45% bacosides means that 45% of the leaf extract weight is confirmed to be bacosides ensuring a consistent, measurable amount of active compounds in every capsule regardless of natural variation in the raw herb. Non standardized Bacopa products may contain highly variable bacoside content.

This formula combines two Bacopa monnieri extracts per capsule: 150mg leaf extract standardized to 45% bacosides (10:1, QCE 1,500mg) and 150mg whole plant extract (10:1, QCE 1,500mg). The leaf extract provides a consistent, quantified amount of the primary active bacosides. The whole plant extract provides the full spectrum of Bacopa monnieri constituents beyond the standardized bacosides including compounds present in the stems and roots that contribute to the herb's traditional whole plant activity. Together they provide 300mg of extract per 2-capsule dose (QCE 3,000mg raw herb equivalent).

QCE (Quantity Crude Equivalent) is the Health Canada standard for expressing how much raw herb a given quantity of concentrated extract is equivalent to. A 10:1 extract means 10g of raw herb is concentrated into 1g of extract. Each capsule contains 150mg leaf extract (10:1, QCE 1,500mg) + 150mg whole plant extract (10:1, QCE 1,500mg). Two capsules per day = 300mg extract = QCE 3,000mg total raw herb equivalent. The "3,000mg" in the product name refers to this QCE not the weight of extract per capsule.

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking thyroid medications. Bacopa monnieri may affect thyroid hormone levels animal studies have shown that Bacopa can increase T4 (thyroxine) levels, which may interact with thyroid medications in individuals with thyroid conditions. This interaction requires professional monitoring. Do not self supplement with Bacopa if you are on thyroid medications without healthcare practitioner guidance

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking sedatives or other central nervous system depressants. Bacopa monnieri may have mild sedative properties and could potentially enhance the effects of sedative medications. Professional guidance is recommended before combining Bacopa with prescription sedatives, benzodiazepines, or other CNS depressants.

Bacopa monnieri is not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The safety of Bacopa monnieri supplementation during pregnancy has not been adequately studied in humans, and some traditional Ayurvedic texts caution against its use during pregnancy.

In Ayurvedic medicine, Bacopa monnieri is known as Brahmi one of the most revered medhya rasayana herbs, a category of botanicals used to support intellect, memory, and mental clarity. It has been used in Ayurvedic practice for over 3,000 years, traditionally prepared as a ghee based formulation or decoction. Modern standardized extracts provide a more concentrated and consistent delivery of the active bacosides compared to traditional preparations, while maintaining the traditional whole-plant activity through the inclusion of whole plant extract alongside the standardized leaf extract.
