(1) Beneficial effects on learning and memory

Studies have shown that Bacopa monnieri and its extracts have brain-boosting effects. Bacopa monnieri and its ethanol extract can significantly improve the learning ability of rats. The effect of promoting cognitive function mainly comes from the two active saponins, Bacopa saponin A and Bacopa saponin B in the ethanol extract. In addition to promoting learning and memory functions in normal rats, the active ingredients can also inhibit amnesia (memory loss) caused by scopolamine, electric shock and restraint stress.

(2) Anti-anxiety effect

Bacopa monnieri extract is different from benzodiazepine anxiolytics in that the former can improve cognitive function while producing anxiolytic effects, while the latter has the side effect of causing dementia. A rat anxiolytic experimental model (elevated plus maze model) was used to compare the anxiolytic effects of BM standard extract and benzodiazepines. Rats were orally administered 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg BM extract and intraperitoneally injected with 0.5 mg/kg lorazepam (LZP), respectively. Compared with lorazepam, the high-dose Bacopa monnieri extract had a stronger anxiolytic effect and was significantly superior to LZP. Bacopa monnieri not only does not cause dementia, but can enhance the memory function of demented animals and humans.

(3) Antidepressant effect

The methanol standardized extract of Bacopa monnieri has a strong antidepressant effect on the rodent depression model. Compared with the antidepressant drug imipramine (15 mg/kg), administration of Bacopa monnieri 20 or 40 mg/kg once a day for 5 consecutive days can produce a significant antidepressant effect in the forced swimming and acquired helplessness depression models.
