Bacopa Overview
Bacopa (Bacopa monnieri) is a perennial herb that is native to India and other parts of Southeast Asia. Bacopa has small, white or blue flowers and is commonly found in wetland areas.
In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, bacopa is believed to have a number of health benefits, including the ability to improve memory and cognitive function, reduce anxiety and stress, and improve symptoms of ADHD. It is also thought to have potential benefits for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
Bacopa dietary supplements are often marketed for 'cognitive support'.

Bezlotoxumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by binding to a C. difficile toxin to stop its effects on the body.
