| Abstract | Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and memory impairment are increasing worldwide and have become a major health concern. Herbal medicines are widely accepted because of their therapeutic effectiveness, low toxicity, and minimal side effects. Bacopa monnieri, commonly known as Brahmi, is an important medicinal plant used in Ayurveda as a memory enhancer, nervine tonic, and cognitive booster. The plant contains active phytoconstituents such as bacosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins that exhibit neuroprotective and antioxidant activities. The present research work was aimed at formulation and evaluation of herbal syrup containing Bacopa monnieri extract for cognitive enhancement. The aqueous extract of Brahmi was prepared by decoction method and incorporated into syrup base containing sucrose syrup, glycerin, sodium benzoate, citric acid, and purified water. The prepared syrup was evaluated for organoleptic characteristics, pH, viscosity, specific gravity, and stability studies. The prepared formulation showed acceptable physical appearance with brown colour, characteristic odour, pleasant sweet taste, and good pourability. The pH of syrup was found within suitable range for oral administration. Stability studies indicated that the formulation remained stable without precipitation or microbial growth during storage. The study concluded that the formulated Brahmi syrup possesses satisfactory pharmaceutical properties and may serve as a potential herbal preparation for improvement of memory and cognitive function. |
