In reply to Nandini Reddy. Good question, the article doesn't draw a clear line between extract standardized to bacosides versus the raw churna dose. From what I've read elsewhere the extract is usually 300mg standardized to 20% bacosides, but for raw herb traditional texts suggest much higher amounts. नमस्ते

In reply to David Brown. Fair point — if you're a vata type the article suggests Bacopa may suit better, while pitta types might respond differently to Centella. But I agree the herb availability is a real barrier, especially outside India.
