Wild blueberry extracts (WBE) may improve cognitive performance.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaApr 18 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM The researchers of a recent study published in Nutrients examined whether consuming wild blueberry extracts may improve cognitive performance in an acute period, including recognized times of impaired functioning.
However, additional studies are needed to establish whether additional stabilizing agents can produce high bioactivity and advantages with a modest product dosage and whether blueberry intake can improve cognitive and cardiovascular health among healthy older adult individuals. The researchers evaluated outcomes at baseline, two hours, four hours, and six hours following the intervention, with the intervention happening immediately after study initiation.
Study participants were aged 68 to 75 years without a prior history of diabetes, metabolic diseases, substance addiction, or neurological or mental illnesses. They used the Mini-Mental State Examination , the National Adult Reading Test , the Frequency of Forgetting scale, Ravens Progressive Matrices , Rey's Auditory Verbal Learning task , the Corsi Blocks task, the Task Switch task , and the Trail Making tasks A and B to assess cognitive function.
The ROAB experiment discovered that WBE 111 mg therapy resulted in lower executive performance after 4 hours compared to the placebo. WBE 888 mg produced quicker response speeds, although sessions were a strong predictor of CRT accuracy.
