I was considering the Himalaya brand but the bottles they have locally seems a little dubious they don't seem to state the amount of bacosides. I've been taking Kordel's gingko and bacopa combo pill before sleeping but I suspect this is less than an optimal combination for bedtime..

according to our supplier the extraction solvent utilized in the bacopa whole plant extract is methanol. In addition, the concentration of the bacosides content is determined by HPLC analysis.
Concerning product purity, all raw materials and finished tablets go through heavy metal testing, including Arsenic, Mercury, Cadmium, and Lead, prior to release. Our Quality Control Department employs rigorous inspection and testing procedures to ensure all products are manufactured to provide 100% of labeled ingredient potencies. We accomplish this by making sure all raw materials and manufactured products comply with certificates of analysis provided by the vendors. These materials are sampled and inspected according to a long list of specifications. This includes the potency of active constituents, the absence of extraneous material such as heavy metals. We may also perform our own HPLC, HPTLC, UV/VIS, IR test or other analytical means.

Hi chrono. Thanks so much for the information. Is a shame that only one supplier answer you. In your opinion the products made with "hole plant extracts" should be better than those ones made with "standardized or leaf extracts"??

I´m going to buy 1 bottle of Planetary and 1 bottle of Thorne and experience my own. In your opinion should I include any other brand in my test (Paradise or Himalaya)??
The best brand of Bacopa I used was from Solaray:

I also tried Planetary with much less effect.

Do you happen to know if Paradise tests for heavy metals? I have a bottle of it around (Planetary Herbs and Thorne were not in stock when I ordered)

Thank you for contacting us! I did speak with a product specialist regarding your inquiry, and was told that we have tests done on every single batch of all our products before we bottle any of them including these two. The specific limits for testing of heavy metals on any of our products (per maximum daily dose) is up to 2.75 mcg of Lead, 10 mcg of Arsenic, 1.4 mcg of Cadmium, 0.3 mcg of organic Mercury, and 3 mcg of inorganic mercury. Virtually all of our products are MUCH less than those limits, but that is the maximum we would allow in any of our products.
Please keep in mind that, all finished products are inspected by our Quality Control specialists and tested for potency and stability by independent third-party laboratories to ensure that each supplement contains exactly what is stated on the label.
