Gaia’s Bacopa Monnieri is considered a Nootropic — a supplement that supports mental performance and can play an important role in maintaining cognitive health. After an extensive search around the world, we were unable to find Bacopa that met our rigorous quality standards. In keeping with our commitment to using only the finest plants, we decided to grow and cultivate some of the highest quality Bacopa monnieri in the world, in our own Gaia Greenhouse in North Carolina, becoming one of the only U.S. grown sources for this Ayurvedic herb.
