However, data on placebo-controlled trial ofBacopa monnierion intellectual sample is scarce. Hence this study was planned to evaluate the effect ofBacopa monnierion memory of medical students for six weeks.Objective. To evaluate the efficacy ofBacopa monnierion memory of medical students with six weeks’ administration.Method and Material. This was a randomized double blind placebo-controlled noncrossover, parallel trial. Sixty medical students of either gender from second year of medical school, third term, regular batch, were enrolled from Government Medical College, Nagpur, India. Baseline biochemical and memory tests were done. The participants were randomly divided in two groups to receive either 150 mg of standardized extract ofBacopa monnieri(Bacognize) or matching placebo twice daily for six weeks. All baseline investigations were repeated at the end of the trial. Students were followed up for 15 days after the intervention.Results. Statistically significant improvement was seen in the tests relating to the cognitive functions with use ofBacopa monnieri.
