Bacopa Monnieri Extract Powder | Standardized Bacosides Headline: Premium Bacopa Monnieri Extract Manufacturer | 50% Bacosides (CAS: 93164-89-7) Sub-info: Source: Bacopa monnieri (Whole Herb) | Assay: 20% - 50% Bacosides (HPLC/UV) | Nootropic Grade USP: Enhanced Cognitive Function • Adaptogenic Stress Relief • High Solubility
Introduction

Bacopa Monnieri Extract, commonly known as Brahmi or "Water Hyssop", is a premier Ayurvedic nootropic herb. Unlike common Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), Bacopa is renowned for its specific bioactive saponins known as Bacosides.
Our extract is standardized to contain high concentrations of Bacosides A & B, the key triterpenoid saponins responsible for memory enhancement and neuroprotection. Produced through a validated ethanolic extraction process, it ensures a consistent potency profile for high-end cognitive support supplements.

Functions
1.Memory & Cognitive Enhancement (Nootropic)
Bacosides support the repair of damaged neurons and promote dendrite branching (synaptic plasticity). This improves the transmission of nerve impulses, leading to better memory retention, learning speed, and focus.

2.Anxiety & Stress Reduction (Adaptogen)
As a potent adaptogen, Bacopa helps modulate the body's stress response by normalizing cortisol levels. It affects the GABAergic system, promoting a calm, relaxed state without sedation.
3.Neuroprotection (Antioxidant)
It reduces oxidative stress in the brain by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, protecting against age-related cognitive decline.
Applications
Dietary Supplements (Brain Health):
• Memory Formulas: A staple ingredient in "Smart Drugs" and student focus blends.
• Stress Relief Capsules: Often combined with Ashwagandha and Rhodiola.
Functional Beverages:
• Focus Drinks: Water-soluble grades available for energy and mental clarity shots.
Pharmaceuticals:
• Used in formulations managing ADHD and Alzheimer's support therapies (under medical supervision).

Flow Chart
Raw Herb Selection (Bacopa monnieri) → Washing & Drying → Ethanol/Water Extraction → Concentration (Vacuum Evaporation) → Purification (Resin Column) → Spray Drying → Sieving (80 Mesh) → Blending (Standardization) → Quality Control (Bacosides Assay) → Packaging
Note: We strictly control heavy metals (Pb, As) which can be naturally high in aquatic plants like Bacopa.
Quality Standard of Lactoferrin
| Item | Specification | Result |
| Appearance | Greenish-brown to brown powder | Conforms |
| Total Bacosides (HPLC) | ≥ 20.0% / 50.0% | 51.2% |
| Loss on Drying | ≤ 5.0% | 3.1% |
| Ash | ≤ 5.0% | 2.5% |
| Particle Size | 95% pass 80 mesh | Conforms |
| Heavy Metals | ≤ 10 ppm | < 8 ppm |
| Lead (Pb) | ≤ 3.0 ppm | < 1.5 ppm |
| Microbiology | ≤ 1,000 cfu/g | < 100 cfu/g |
| Solvent Residue | Meets USP <467> | Conforms |
Method of Analysis of Lactoferrin
We use HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) to quantify Bacoside A (specifically Bacoside A3, Bacopaside II, Bacopasaponin C, and Bacopaside X).
• Why HPLC? Older UV methods (spectrophotometry) often overestimate content by reading non-active compounds. Our HPLC method guarantees you are paying for the active saponins.
Reference Chromatogram of Lactoferrin Reference Substance
(Imagine a chromatogram with multiple peaks)
The fingerprint shows four distinct peaks corresponding to the Bacoside A complex. The ratio is consistent with the natural botanical profile, confirming authenticity and lack of adulteration.
Stability and Safety
Stability Studies
• Shelf Life: 24 months.
• Hygroscopicity: Bacopa extract is moderately hygroscopic.
• Storage: Must be stored in a cool, dry place (<25°C). We use double-layer PE bags inside fiber drums to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
• Stability: Retains >95% Bacoside content after 2 years when sealed properly.
Safety & Handling (MSDS Summary)
• Classification: Non-hazardous botanical extract.
• Handling: Wear mask to avoid dust inhalation.
• Safety: GRAS for supplement use. No reported toxicity at recommended doses (300-450mg/day).

FAQ
What is the difference between Bacopa and Purslane?
Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri) is a memory-boosting herb containing Bacosides. Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is a vegetable rich in Omega-3s and Polysaccharides. They are different plants. This product is Bacopa.
Which percentage of Bacosides is best?
For general health, 20% is common. For professional cognitive support formulas (Nootropics), we recommend our 50% HPLC grade, which offers a higher concentration of actives in a smaller dose (e.g., 300mg/day).
Does it contain heavy metals?
Bacopa is an aquatic plant known to absorb metals from water. We cultivate ours in controlled, clean water environments and rigorously test every batch to ensure Lead (Pb) < 3.0 ppm, meeting strict international safety standards.
