CHOFIB 120ML SYP (NUTRIFY)

Bacopa Monnieri primarily exerts its effects through its active compounds, bacosides. These compounds modulate neurotransmitter systems, particularly acetylcholine, by enhancing synaptic transmission, increasing synaptogenesis, and promoting neuronal communication. Bacopa also exhibits antioxidant properties, reducing oxidative stress in the brain. On the other hand, Ginkgo Biloba's mechanism involves improving blood flow and enhancing microcirculation, particularly in the brain. It achieves this by inhibiting platelet-activating factor and promoting vasodilation. Ginkgo also possesses antioxidant properties, protecting against free radical damage, and modulates neurotransmitter function, including enhancing cholinergic transmission and interacting with glutamate and serotonin receptors.
