How Vanguard tests Bacopa monnieri

Bacopa monnieri is extracted and its marker compounds measured by a chromatographic assay, with detection selected for the compound, against marker reference standards. Marker compounds are measured against reference standards, $250 per sample with results in 3 to 5 business days. Tell us the basis your specification uses: a total, named markers or a single compound.

What's reported

  • Marker compounds, as % w/w on the basis your specification states
  • Quantity, in mg per serving or % w/w against the label
  • Identity, reported as match or no match against the reference standard

Tests and prices

$250

Chromatographic purity and mg per unit by the method matched to the compound, identity against a reference standard. 1 unit.

Questions about Bacopa monnieri testing

Total bacosides or named bacosides?

HPLC measures the named bacosides against reference standards, reported individually and as a total on the basis your specification states.

Can you test it in a finished product?

Yes. Capsules, powders, gummies and liquids are measured with sample preparation matched to the product, and reported in mg per serving or % w/w against the label.
