Possibly Effective for
Improving memory. Some research shows that taking specific Bacopa extracts (KeenMind; BacoMind) improves some measure of memory in otherwise healthy older adults. Also, taking Bacopa extract seems to improve some measures of memory and hand-eye coordination in children aged 6-8 years.
Possibly Ineffective for
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Bacopa appears to be no more effective than a sugar pill in keeping IBS symptoms from returning after remission.
Insufficient Evidence for
Anxiety. Early research suggests that taking 30 mL of Bacopa syrup daily for 4 weeks reduces symptoms of anxiety, including nervousness, racing heart, trouble sleeping, headaches, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, and stomach discomfort.

Epilepsy (seizures). Early research suggests that taking Bacopa extract for 5 months prevents seizures in some people with epilepsy.
