HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Brahmi Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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 has one active ingredient: bacopa whole herb extract (dry). Bacopa is used in traditional herbal medicine for memory and mental function.

The formula also contains two inactive ingredients—glycerin and water—to create the liquid form.

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: memory and cognitive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cognitive function, Cognitive impairment, Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), age-related memory decline, brain health.
  • 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.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish how well bacopa works for any of the uses it's marketed for—including memory, thinking ability, ADHD, sexual function, back pain, or Alzheimer disease. For all of these, the research available to us is rated insufficient.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies so far aren't solid enough to say one way or the other.

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 short-term studies, but long-term safety data and product quality information are limited. The most common side effects reported are gastrointestinal—abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dry mouth, and headache.

Rates of stomach or bowel problems in trials have ranged from 12% to 30%. A few people have reported drowsiness, insomnia, vivid dreams, or headache.

There isn't enough safety data to know whether it's okay to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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: 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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any of these medication types: drugs processed by liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP3A4 (a huge category that includes many heart, mental health, and seizure medications); cholinergic drugs or anticholinergic drugs; cevimeline (Evoxac); or thyroid hormone. These interactions are rated Moderate to Minor but need to be reviewed for your specific situation.

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.

Brahmi Alcohol Free may appeal to people interested in traditional herbal memory support, but the evidence for how well it works isn't established in the data we hold. The bigger concern is its potential to interact with a large number of medications processed by your liver.

If you take any prescription drugs, especially for heart rhythm, blood clotting, mental health, or seizures, check your medication list with the tool on this page before starting. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for you.

Brahmi Whole Herb Extract, Dry8 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%.

Brahmi Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Brahmi Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Brahmi Alcohol Free 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?
Brahmi Alcohol Free 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 exactly is bacopa?
Bacopa is a plant used in traditional herbal medicine, especially for memory and concentration. This product is a dry extract of the whole herb mixed with glycerin and water.
What are the most common side effects?
The most frequent ones are gastrointestinal—stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dry mouth, and headache. Between 12% and 30% of people in studies reported some stomach or bowel upset. A smaller number reported drowsiness, insomnia, or vivid dreams.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. It's best to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it during pregnancy or while nursing.
Does bacopa actually improve memory or thinking?
The research we hold isn't clear enough to say. For memory, thinking ability, ADHD, and other uses this product is marketed for, the evidence is rated insufficient—so we can't confirm how well it works.
Is this product 'alcohol-free'?
Yes, this liquid extract uses glycerin and water as the base instead of alcohol, which some people prefer to avoid.
Will this interact with my heart or thyroid medication?
Possibly. Bacopa may slow how your body clears certain heart and other medications processed by liver enzymes, and it may have additive effects with thyroid hormone. Check your specific medications with the search tool on this page, then confirm with your doctor or pharmacist.
