HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bacopa Monnieri 300 mg by Pure Nootropics

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: BaCognize, a bacopa extract at 300 mg per capsule. Bacopa is a plant used in traditional medicine, and BaCognize is a standardized extract form.

The capsule itself is made from hypromellose (a vegetable capsule material), with maltodextrin and stearate as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Bacopa's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports cognitive health, mood, and memory.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cognitive function, Cognitive impairment, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Depression, Memory, Age-related cognitive decline — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Bacopa is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bacopa is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function, Cognitive impairment, Depression.

The evidence for bacopa's effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. The product is marketed for cognitive function, memory, ADHD, Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, and back pain — but for all of these uses, the data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate whether it actually works.

If you're considering bacopa for any of these reasons, that's worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist, since we don't have solid proof of benefit yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bacopa

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bacopa is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term and quality safety data are limited. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dry mouth, and headache.

A small number of people have also reported drowsiness, insomnia, and vivid dreams. Rates of stomach or bowel side effects in studies have ranged from 12% to 30%, so they're not rare.

There isn't enough safety data for pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid this product if you're pregnant or nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're in either situation.

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Bacopa.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 931 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with us about any medications you take that are processed by CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 enzymes (Moderate severity). Also double-check if you're on anticholinergic drugs or cholinergic drugs (Moderate severity), cevimeline (Moderate severity), or thyroid hormone replacement (Minor severity).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Bacopa might be worth trying if you're looking for a cognitive or memory boost and you don't take medications processed by major liver enzymes, anticholinergic or cholinergic drugs, cevimeline, or thyroid hormone. Be prepared for possible stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea.

Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Run your exact medications through the checker below before you start.

BaCognize8 drug types · 930 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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%.

Bacopa Monnieri 300 mg by Pure Nootropics: Common Questions

Does Bacopa Monnieri 300 mg by Pure Nootropics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Bacopa Monnieri 300 mg has a known interaction with 930 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Bacopa Monnieri 300 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What's in this product?
It's a single-ingredient supplement: 300 mg of BaCognize, which is a standardized bacopa extract. The capsule is made of hypromellose (a vegetable material), with maltodextrin and stearate as fillers.
Does bacopa actually improve memory or brain function?
The evidence isn't established yet. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for memory, cognitive function, ADHD, Alzheimer disease, or any other use this product claims. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — just that we don't have proof either way.
What side effects might I get?
Most common are stomach issues: abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dry mouth, and headache. Some people report drowsiness, insomnia, or vivid dreams. Rates of gastrointestinal side effects in studies ranged from 12% to 30%, so they're fairly common.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way. The facts say it's best to avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
How does bacopa interact with so many drugs?
Bacopa can affect how your liver breaks down certain medications — it may slow that process down, letting the drugs build up to higher levels in your body. It also seems to affect acetylcholine, a brain chemical involved in nerve signals, which could change how drugs that work on that system behave.
