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 standardized bacopa extract, at 300 mg per capsule. Bacopa monnieri is a plant used in traditional medicine, and BaCognize is a branded form of that extract.

The capsule also includes several inactive ingredients — hypromellose (the capsule shell), maltodextrin, and stearate — which are fillers and binders that help the product hold together.

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, anxiety — 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. For Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, ADHD, back pain, cognitive function, and cognitive impairment — all conditions this product might be considered for — the evidence is rated as insufficient to make a reliable judgment.

That doesn't mean bacopa doesn't work; it means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say one way or the other. If you're thinking about it for a specific condition, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the latest science shows.

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 quality and long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dry mouth, headache, and stomach upset occur in a small to moderate number of people (gastrointestinal side effects have ranged from 12% to 30% in trials).

Some people also report drowsiness, insomnia, or vivid dreams. Because there isn't enough safety information, bacopa is best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing and want to know more.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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: 933 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 your doctor or pharmacist if you're on anticholinergic drugs (for overactive bladder, certain poisonings, or other conditions), cholinergic drugs, or cevimeline (Evoxac) — bacopa may change how well they work or increase their side effects (Moderate severity). Also double-check if you take any medications metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4 enzymes — that's a large group including statins, blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, and some antidepressants — because bacopa may slow how your liver clears them (Moderate severity).

Finally, if you take thyroid hormone, bacopa may add to its effects (Minor severity). No interactions are documented for the other ingredients we could check in this product.

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 considering if you're interested in cognitive support, but the evidence for how well it actually works isn't clear yet. The main concern is that it can interact with a large number of medications by changing how your liver processes them and by affecting nerve chemicals — so if you take any prescription drugs, checking with your doctor or pharmacist first is really important.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It's generally well tolerated, but watch for stomach upset and other GI symptoms.

BaCognize8 drug types · 932 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 932 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 is BaCognize?
BaCognize is a branded standardized extract of bacopa monnieri, a plant used in traditional medicine. This product contains 300 mg of it per capsule.
What side effects might I experience?
The most common side effects are stomach-related: abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dry mouth, and headache. Some people also report drowsiness, insomnia, or vivid dreams. Stomach upset happened in 12% to 30% of people in studies.
Is bacopa safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information, so it's best to avoid bacopa during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing and want personalized advice.
Does bacopa actually work for brain function or memory?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet to say for sure. Studies on bacopa for cognitive function, memory, ADHD, and Alzheimer disease all show insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it just means we don't have solid proof yet.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
Bacopa affects how your liver breaks down many common drugs — it can slow down four major liver enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4) — plus it boosts a nerve chemical called acetylcholine. That's why it touches a lot of different medication types.
