As great as it is to have your body in peak condition, it is the mind that really makes things happen. We start with Alpha BRAIN, shown in double blind clinical trials to improve mental focus, memory, and executive function.† New MOOD offers support for a positive mood, a reduction in occasional mental stress, and restful sleep. As the brain is made up of 60% fat and utilizes dietary fat to maintain optimal performance, we have included MCT Oil to keep your command center fueled up. Additionally, Krill Oil offers the Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA and EPA) that have been linked to healthy memory function.†
In addition to the neuropsychological assessment, a compelling biomarker was added to the study protocol. A subset of the subjects were recruited to participate in electroencephalographic (EEG) brain recording at three time points:
Baseline, 1 hour after their first dose, and after the full 45 day study period.
The purpose of this design was to compare a single dose to a prolonged supplementation of Alpha BRAIN to monitor changes in brain activity.
Remarkably, those taking Alpha BRAIN exhibited statistically faster processing speed and greater response detection amplitudes after both a single dose and 45 days compared to their placebo counterparts.
This data was presented separately and recently published as an abstract in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association available here.
Alpha Brain Clinical Study Results Published in Scientific Journal
The lead investigator on the study, Todd Solomon, PhD, commented, “Having the manuscript of the study accepted in a peer-reviewed journal such as Human Psychopharmacology further validates not only the result of the study, but the scientific rigor that was utilized.”
Onnit Labs’ contribution to the scientific literature sets a precedent for the nutritional supplement industry. To take the previous knowledge of nutritional products and formulate compounds in a way that has proven benefits on cognitive performance is a milestone achievement.
The data has attracted attention of various researchers with new scopes of study, such as the US Army and the Alzheimer’s Association. Onnit will continue to fund research that is valuable to both consumers of Onnit products and the larger scientific community.
