Brahmi Benefits
Studies have shown that anti-oxidant plant saponins in Brahmi increase neural transmission in the brain and promote synthesis of proteins that create memory. These saponins named bacosides also protect brain cells against free radicals. Moreover brahmi is completely safe without any side effects.
Generally the ability to retain new information diminishes from 55% in the first hour to 27% in the second hour and even less in the third hour, so that 1 in learned tasks are forgotten. In a study in Australia, students took bacopa for 3 months and gained 95% retention lasting for 4 hours. Only only 1 in 20 learned tasks were forgotten.
Brahmi has been shown to alleviate ADD and ADHDA a syndrome that includes impairment in perception, conceptualization, language, memory, and motor skills; decreased attention span; increased impulsivity and emotionality; and usually, not always, hyperactivity
Brahmi is also known to relieve stress, anxiety and depression. It has also been shown to help in dementia and aging. Bacosides scavenge free-radicals and thereby protect brain sites like the frontal cortex and particularly the synapses of the hippocampus also known as the "seat of memory". This is an important discovery since conventional neuroprotective drugs like Deprenyl and Centrophenoxine fail to act in this manner.
