Description
300mg of standardised Bacopa monnieri per daily serving. A single botanical, standardised for bacosides, used in Ayurveda for centuries and studied in modern trials for the retention of newly learned information. No proprietary blends, no hidden numbers, no fillers.
Key ingredient & dosage
Each daily serving (1 capsule) provides 300mg of Bacopa monnieri extract, standardised to 20% bacosides (around 60mg). Bacosides are the plant's principal active compounds. Nothing else added.
How to take
Take 1 capsule daily with food; bacosides are fat-soluble, which is why studies and traditional use both pair it with a meal. Bacopa works gradually — trials measured results at 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use.
Delivery & returns
Free shipping on all 2+ bottle orders, dispatched within 1 working day. Every order is covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee.

You take it in. It just doesn't stay.
It isn't that you can't follow the conversation, or read the article, or learn the new phone. You do all of that fine. It's that an hour later, a day later, it's gone, and you find yourself reaching for something you know you knew.
That's a particular kind of frustrating, and it's worth being precise about it, because it's also the thing Bacopa has been studied for. Not learning faster. Not thinking harder. Holding on to what you've already taken in.
Retention
Studied in trials for delayed recall, the retention of what you've already taken in.
Calm, Not Caffeine
A calming botanical, not a stimulant. No caffeine, traditionally taken as a daily tonic.
Standardised Bacosides
A clear 300mg extract dose, standardised to 20% bacosides (~60mg), the plant's principal active compounds.
Centuries of Use
Known as Brahmi in Ayurveda and used for centuries as a medhya rasayana.
Reserved for Scholars, for Three Thousand Years
In classical Ayurveda, Bacopa monnieri, known as Brahmi, was given to those whose lives depended on a sharp mind: scholars memorising sacred texts, elders passing on knowledge, students preparing for a lifetime of learning.
Traditions survive that long for one reason. People kept using it because they kept noticing it working.
Twelve weeks is not a marketing number.
It's how long the trials ran. Studies of Bacopa measured their results at 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use, because that's the timescale on which anything was observed. Nothing about this plant works overnight, and anyone telling you otherwise hasn't read the research.
That's why the 90-day supply is the one we recommend, and why the guarantee runs for the full 90 days rather than 30.
We Would Rather Show You the Research Than Make Big Promises
Modern researchers have put Bacopa through randomised, placebo-controlled trials. On balance the literature points toward measured effects on delayed recall — the retention of newly learned information — along with verbal learning and speed of attention, particularly in older adults. Not every trial found an effect, and we say so on our science page.
Our Bacopa is standardised for bacosides at the same 300mg daily dose used in that research. Its effects build gradually, with studies typically measuring outcomes at 8 to 12 weeks. We don't imply our extract produced any single published result — we point you to the research and let it speak.
We tell you which plant is in the bottle.
"Brahmi" is used in the trade for two entirely different plants: Bacopa monnieri and Centella asiatica. They have different active compounds and different evidence behind them, and the confusion is a well-documented source of mislabelling in this category.
Ours is Bacopa monnieri. Bacopa also grows in wetlands and readily takes up heavy metals from the ground it's grown in, which is why batch screening for contaminants matters in this category.
Gentle, Consistent, Unhurried
Bacopa rewards patience. Here is how to get the most from it.
One Capsule, With Food
Take your daily 300mg serving with any meal. Bacosides are fat-soluble, so a meal helps; and with no stimulants, many people take it with their evening meal.
Keep It Daily
Consistency matters more than timing. Keep the bottle somewhere you'll see it, next to the kettle or your reading glasses.
Give It the Full 12 Weeks
Trials measured their outcomes at 8 to 12 weeks. Watch the right thing: whether what you read or heard earlier is still there later.

Real People, Taking It Day After Day
The names came back before I noticed myself
I'd almost accepted it — the stopping mid-sentence, the 'oh what's the word.' I nearly gave up around week two. So glad I didn't. Around week nine my daughter said I'd stopped searching for words. I feel calmer with it too.
I bought it for my dad
Checked with his GP first as he's on other tablets, and she was happy for him to try it. Simple, single ingredient, clear dose. Three months in he seems steadier, and doing something has helped me as much as him.
What won me over was the honesty
They show the trial that found nothing, right there on the page, and put the dose testing on the label. That's why I ordered, and why I reordered. The morning fog is lighter now.
Calmer, not wired
I'd tried the caffeine 'focus' pills and hated the jitters. This is the opposite — I take it with dinner and sleep fine. A few weeks in I feel settled and a bit sharper.
Finally a straight answer
One ingredient, the dose printed on the label, and no promises of miracles. That's rare. I'm on my second bottle and reordering the 3-pack for the full run.
Give it the full 12 weeks
Nothing much for the first month, then it crept up on me. My wife noticed I wasn't losing my thread as often. Wish I'd started with the 90-day supply.
Take the Full 90 Days to Decide
Botanicals like Bacopa take time, so a 30-day guarantee would be unfair. Give it the full run. If you don't notice a difference, email us and we will refund every penny. No forms, no arguments.
Answered Honestly
How long until I notice anything?
Trials measured their outcomes at 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use, and the effects seen were modest. Bacopa is not a plant that works overnight — anyone promising an overnight result hasn't read the research.
Is it safe to take alongside my medications?
Bacopa has a long history of traditional use, but we always recommend showing it to your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take prescription medication. A supplement supports a health routine; it does not replace medical care.
Will it make me jittery or affect my sleep?
No. Bacopa contains no caffeine or stimulants. It is traditionally described as a calming herb, and many people take it with their evening meal.
I'm buying this for my mum or dad. Anything I should know?
You're in good company; a large share of our customers are adult children buying for a parent. We suggest the 3-bottle supply so it can be taken consistently through the full 12-week window, and to mention it at their next appointment.
