HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bacopa 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: bacopa at 450 mg per capsule. Bacopa is an herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine.
The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water — these are inert ingredients that hold the bacopa powder.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for bacopa's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. For Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, ADHD, back pain, cognitive function, and cognitive impairment, the research is rated insufficient to say whether it works.
That doesn't mean it doesn't — it means the studies available aren't strong enough yet to draw a firm conclusion.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bacopa is generally well tolerated in the studies conducted so far, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects reported are gastrointestinal — abdominal cramps, diarrhea, dry mouth, nausea, and bloating.
Some people have reported drowsiness, headache, insomnia, or vivid dreams. Gastrointestinal side effects occurred in about 12% to 30% of trial participants.
There isn't enough safety data to know whether bacopa is safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The safety notes advise against use in both situations.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is the right choice for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any medications broken down by your liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes (a very common group covering hundreds of drugs), anticholinergic drugs, cholinergic drugs, cevimeline (Evoxac), or thyroid hormone. These are the drug types with documented Moderate interactions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Bacopa may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional cognitive support, but the evidence for it isn't strong yet. The main thing to watch is its potential to interact with liver-metabolized medications and certain nerve-affecting drugs — this makes it important to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take prescription medications.
It's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Bacopa 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Bacopa 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection does interact with a number of medications.
The ingredient bacopa works on several enzyme systems in your liver that break down drugs, and it may also affect how your nerves communicate — both of which can change how medications behave in your body.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The most serious concern is with drugs processed by your liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 substrates). Bacopa may slow how quickly your liver clears these drugs, causing them to build up to higher levels and potentially increase side effects.
The research is mixed — some lab studies show bacopa inhibits these enzymes, while others suggest the effect may not matter clinically — but the interaction is rated Moderate.
Additionally, bacopa may interfere with anticholinergic drugs (used for things like overactive bladder and certain movement disorders) and cholinergic drugs by working against or amplifying their effects. There's also a case report of someone taking cevimeline (Evoxac, a mouth-moisture medication) who experienced sweating, nausea, weakness, and a racing heart after taking bacopa — this is rated Moderate.
Bacopa may have minor additive effects with thyroid hormone.
Altogether, these interactions span 931 individual medications. Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications before starting.

For each ingredient in Bacopa 450 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Bacopa
Anticholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use might decrease the effectiveness of both agents.
Bacopa seems to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels, which could counteract the effects of anticholinergic drugs. Similarly, anticholinergic drugs might counteract the cholinergic effects of bacopa.
Cevimeline (Evoxac)
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the effects and adverse effects of cevimeline.
In one case, a 58-year-old female taking cevimeline long-term for Sjogren syndrome experienced hyperhidrosis, malaise, nausea, and tachycardia shortly after taking a single dose of bacopa. Symptoms resolved after two days. Cevimeline is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A4, and researchers theorize that bacopa may have inhibited these isoenzymes. However, it is unclear if bacopa causes clinically significant inhibition of either CYP2D6 or CYP3A4.
Cholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use of bacopa with other cholinergic drugs might have additive effects.
Bacopa seems to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels. Theoretically, this could result in additive cholinergic effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP1A2 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence shows that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP1A2, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. It is not known whether this is clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
Research on the effect of bacopa extracts on CYP2C9 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP2C9, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP3A4 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and competitively inhibit CYP3A4, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Thyroid Hormone
Theoretically, bacopa might have additive effects when used with thyroid hormone.
Animal research suggests that bacopa increases thyroxine (T4) levels in mice by about 40%.
