Bacopa monnieri is one of most studied medicinal herb for memory and cognition. Yet, we have very little scientific evidence (in terms of PK) on the bioactive compounds of the plant. I would like to invite comments on this.
Devang, thanks for your response. However, the above article is devoid of any information on pharmacokinetics of the herb.
I have been searching myself for any literature available, methods have been developed on LC MS to detect bacosides about 5 ng. maybe bacosides are hydrolyzed before absorption or metabolized very fast. But I have not come across any study.
LOTS OF WORK DONE BY cdri INDIA ON BRAHMI FOR DETAIL VISIT http://www.pubfacts.com/search/bacoside+A3
Thanks for your comment Dr. Gour. The link cites the references to highlight the pharmacological effects of brahmi and its constituents. However, there is still no reference available on the bio-availability and pharmacokinetics of the plant.
