In that case, I suggest Gotu Kola (centella asiatica) which has also shown improvement in memory retention (http://www.biomedres...nal/pdf/420.pdf) and is also sedative at higher doses, much like Bacopa. Therefore, during the day, it is combined with Ginkgo (http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/19593336) and Ginseng (http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/12435210) to counteract the sedative effects while still maintaining lowered anxiety and improved memory consolidation. This is an ancient remedy for intelligence in Asia. There are various different "ginsengs" out there. Siberian, Red Korean, American, White Korean, Indian, etc. American and Siberian are more adaptogenic/balanced; Red Korean (or typical Asian ginseng) is more stimulative; White Korean and Indian are more sedative.
Anyhow, I believe these herbs are best used in combo. If you have to choose one that most resembles Bacopa, I'd say it is Gotu Kola. Indian Ginseng (Ashwagandha) is a close second.
