Question 1

Is this brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) or gotu kola (Centella asiatica), or a blend of both? Sometimes gotu kola is referred to as "brahmi" by mistake.

Accepted Answer

It's Centella Asiatica. Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) is called Brahmi particularly in north India and Kerala. This identification of brāhmī as C. asiatica has been in use for long in northern India, as Hēmādri's Commentary on Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayaṃ (Āyuṛvēdarasāyana747;) treats maṇḍūkaparni (C. asiatica) as a synonym of brahmi.Personally, I prefer Gotu Kola from Bacopa because I have experienced that Gotu Kola is far more efficient.For more details you can read:http://flowingfree.org/comparing-ayurvedic-herbs-brahmi-and-gotu-kola/

Question 2

What is the botanical (Latin) name of this product?

Accepted Answer

There are two herbs called Brahmi. The Brahmi (or Gotu Kola) of Banyan Botanicals is CENTELLA ASIATICA.BACOPA MONNIERI is also known as Brahmi; both have some common therapeutic properties in Vedic texts and are used for improving memory. C. asiatica is called brahmi particularly in north India.

Question 3

What is the ratio of consertration of one herb to the other?

Accepted Answer

A relationship between two quantities, normally expressed as the quotient of one divided by the other. For example, if a box contains six red marbles and four blue marbles, the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is 6 to 4, also written 6:4. A ratio can also be expressed as a decimal or percentage.So you  would have to know how much is MG, or amount you putting. Each herb has there different concentration because there are made differently. Some in powder some in tea . Hope this helps

Accepted Answer
