Bacopa monnieri demonstrates anti-oxidant, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective activity. It also shows great clinical potential in attenuating dementia via several mechanisms, most notably dose-dependent acetylcholine potentiation and free radical scavenging.Though bacopa monnieri interacts with the dopamine and serotonergic systems, its main mechanism concerns promoting neuron communication which is caused by enhancing the rate at which the nervous system can communicate by increasing the growth of nerve endings, also called dendrites. It stimulates serotonin and regulates the loss of dopamine.  Together with many other nootropic supplements, these two important hormones regulate mental energy, feelings of joy, calm, and euphoria, and also are responsible for mood enhancement, reducing many symptoms of anxiety.Bacopa contains an herbal compound called Bacoside A in large amounts, which is important to fast and efficient synaptic communication. Through raising kinase activity in the hippocampus, Bacoside A electrifies the activity of nerve cell receptors, making communication in the brain flow rapidly and form easy connections.Its long-term memory benefits actually come up from this action, in a similar way that Piracetam functions.[3]
