Questions, answered honestly.

It's a food supplement made from a single herb, Bacopa monnieri, also known as Brahmi. It's been used for around 3,000 years and studied in modern human trials for how well you hold on to what you learn.† We make it as one clean ingredient, 300mg a serving, with nothing else added.

A small herb that grows in the wetlands of South Asia. In Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, it was given to scholars and students who had to memorise long texts, which is why it's been linked with memory for thousands of years. Today it's one of the very few herbs in this area with genuine placebo-controlled human research behind it.†

Mainly for how well you hold on to what you take in, rather than how quickly you learn something new.† In plain terms: it's been looked at for keeping hold of things — the name, the appointment, the thread of a story — not for making you "think faster." It's gentle and gradual, never a quick fix.

Your brain does two jobs: taking information in, and then holding on to it so you can find it later. For most people it's the holding on that gets harder with age, not the taking in. That's the specific thing Bacopa has the most research behind.† It's why we talk about "holding on to what you learn" rather than vague promises about your "brain."

Most are a long list of 20 to 40 ingredients with a tiny amount of each. A long list looks impressive, but it hides how little of each you're really getting. We do the opposite: one ingredient, at the amount used in the research, so you know exactly what you're taking and can judge it fairly.†

In it: 300mg of standardised Bacopa monnieri extract, in a vegan capsule. Not in it: no caffeine, no stimulants, no fillers, no bulking agents, no blends. One thing, done properly.

It means each batch is made to contain a consistent, measured amount of the plant's active compounds (called bacosides), rather than whatever happens to be in a given harvest. Cheaper products often use a weak, unstandardised extract, so the amount that actually matters can be a fraction of what the studies used. Standardising is how we make sure every capsule is the real thing.† Exact standardisation percentage is confirmed on our certificate of analysis.

Each serving is 300mg of standardised Bacopa monnieri extract — the same amount used in the research.† Standardisation figure confirmed on our certificate of analysis.

Yes — every single batch, three ways:

• The right plant — we confirm it's genuinely Bacopa monnieri, not a cheaper look-alike (two different herbs are both sold as "Brahmi")†
• The right strength — we check the level of active compounds, so the amount is real†
• Clean — we screen for heavy metals, because the plant grows in water and can draw them up†

If a batch fails any of the three, it doesn't get sold.

Because a lot of Bacopa on the market isn't what it says. It can be force-grown in poorly controlled conditions, mixed with other plants, or be a different herb altogether. Testing every batch is how we make sure you're getting real, clean Bacopa monnieri at the right strength — which is also why we're not the cheapest.†

Yes, both. The capsules are plant-based.

We're a UK-based company, and every batch is tested before it's released.

One capsule a day, with food. Taking them at the same time each day — with breakfast is easiest — makes it far easier to remember.

Bacopa is best absorbed alongside a meal, and it's gentler on the stomach that way. It's also simply easier to build into a routine you already have.

Morning, with a meal, is ideal — but the most important thing is picking a time you'll actually stick to every day.

Yes. This is the part that matters most. Bacopa isn't a quick fix — it builds up gently with steady, daily use. The research measured people taking one dose a day over 8 to 12 weeks, so consistency is the whole game.† (It's exactly why we include the free Daily Recall Pack, to help the habit stick.)

Honestly, not in the first two weeks — and we'd rather tell you that up front. Every trial measured over 8 to 12 weeks, and any change tends to be gradual rather than sudden. There's no caffeine, so there's nothing to "feel" on day one. That slow, quiet build is normal, and it's why the guarantee runs a full 90 days.†

Don't expect a jolt. A good tip: before you start, jot down the two or three things that bother you most — names, where you leave things, what you read last week. Look at that note again around week twelve, the window the studies measured. If nothing on it has changed, that's exactly what the 90 days are for.

One missed day won't undo anything — just carry on the next day. But because the studies measured daily use, try not to start-stop. Keeping the bottle by the kettle or with your morning tablets means it mostly looks after itself.

No — please stick to one a day. More isn't better with Bacopa, and you shouldn't exceed the recommended dose. It works by building up steadily over weeks, not by taking a bigger hit.

It's a single herb with no caffeine, so it fits most routines. As with any supplement, if you take prescription medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a health condition, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Please speak to your doctor first. We don't recommend starting any new supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.

Bacopa is generally well tolerated. Some people find it sits best when taken with food. If you have any concerns, stop and speak to your doctor or pharmacist.

It's made for adults, particularly those noticing the everyday slips that come with getting older. It's not for under-18s. If you're unsure whether it's right for you, check with a healthcare professional.

We recommend the 90-day supply. Bacopa was studied over 8 to 12 weeks, so 90 days gives it a fair, full go — the same window our money-back guarantee covers.† It's also the best value. If you'd rather it kept arriving automatically, choose a subscription (monthly, every 2 months, or every 3 months) and save on every order.

Choose your option, add to basket, and check out. You'll get an order confirmation by email straight away.

You choose how often you want your Bacopa delivered, and the right amount arrives automatically, so you never run out. You're charged each time an order is sent, and you manage it all yourself from your subscription portal.

Because Bacopa only works if you keep taking it, and the most common reason people stop is simply running out. A subscription keeps you on track, and it's cheaper per bottle than a one-off order.

You choose:

• Every month
• Every 2 months
• Every 3 months

Pick at checkout, and change it anytime in your portal.

We'll always tell you in advance if a price ever changes. Your current price stays as it is until then.

Take Koya every day for 90 days — the same window the research used — and if you honestly can't tell any difference, email us and we'll refund you. It's there because Bacopa takes time, and 30 days was never long enough to judge it fairly.†

Because that's how long the herb genuinely needs. Every trial measured results over 8 to 12 weeks of daily use, so the guarantee only makes sense if you give it the full run. That's exactly why we recommend the 90-day supply: it's enough to take it every day, right through the window the research used, without running out halfway. To be fair to the guarantee (and to yourself), the deal is simple — take it consistently, every day, for the full 90 days. That's the honest test.†

Yes — that's the point of it. The guarantee is for people who've genuinely given it a fair go, taken daily and consistently across the full 90 days. Bacopa builds up slowly with steady use, so a few doses here and there was never going to show you anything. Take the full supply as directed, and if it's still not for you, we'll refund you.†

Email us at info@koyaorganics.co.uk within the 90 days, tell us it wasn't for you, and let us know how you got on. No forms, no fuss.

No. We don't ask you to post anything back to us.

If it's damaged and unopened, email us at info@koyaorganics.co.uk with a photo and we'll send a free replacement. No need to return the damaged one.

Once your claim is reviewed and approved, refunds are processed within 1 to 7 days, back to your original payment method.

Email us at info@koyaorganics.co.uk as soon as you can. If it hasn't been dispatched, we'll cancel and refund it.

A set of short, two-minute memory games — one for each day — that come free with your order. Each morning we email you a link to that day's game. It takes about five minutes and works on any phone.

No, it's free with every order.

No, there's nothing to install. You just tap the link in the email and play.

Not at all. There's no backlog and nothing to catch up on. Play today's whenever you fancy, or skip it — the capsule is the important half.

Two things: they give you a reason to take your capsule at the same time each morning (which is the hard part of any 90-day habit), and they're a nice way to notice how your week's going. They're memory exercises for practice and enjoyment, not a test or a health assessment.

They're for practice and enjoyment, not a treatment. Think of them as the daily ritual that helps you stick with your 90 days — that's their real job.

No, you can check out as a guest. But an account makes it easier to track orders and manage a subscription.

An order confirmation, a dispatch email with tracking, your daily Recall Pack game, and the occasional honest update. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime.

No, it's a food supplement. It's not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it's not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

No, and we'd never claim that. Koya is a food supplement studied for everyday memory, not a treatment for any medical condition.† If you have real concerns about your memory, please speak to your GP — that's a conversation for a doctor, not a webpage.

Here's the honest answer: the research is real, but modest. Bacopa has genuine placebo-controlled human trials behind it — more than most things in this area — but no supplement is magic, and results vary from person to person.† That's exactly why we give you 90 days to decide for yourself, with your money back if it's not for you.

Because a lot of this industry over-promises, and we'd rather earn your trust than dazzle you. We only say what the research actually supports. If we can't stand behind a claim, we don't make it.

Bacopa is a well-studied herb with a long history of use. As with any supplement, take only the recommended amount, and check with your doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a health condition.

In a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
