What is known about the standardised brahmi extract in the composition? — Brahmi dietary supplement N60-PLANET AYURVEDA

According to the card, the composition includes a standardised extract of the whole Bacopa monnieri (L.) Penn. plant (family Scrophulariaceae) and a capsule shell with the glazing agent E464 (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); each capsule contains 500 mg of extract. The card does not state which substance the standardisation is based on or what its content is, nor does it compare the extract with powdered herb.

General information (not a manufacturer's claim): «standardised» usually means that the manufacturer controls the content of a particular substance in the extract; for brahmi, bacosides are usually named, but for this product this value should be checked with the manufacturer or on the packaging. This is a biologically active supplement, not a medicine.
