As maximum cognitive performance is reached between 20 and 25 years of age, food supplement market is looking for ingredients supporting cognitive functions, for all people:
- For active people, mental alertness is an issue
- 40% of consumers between 26-35 years old showed interest in ingredients for focus and mental acuity
- Athletes use them to remain focused while practicing and competing
- For 94% of adults over 50 years old, staying mentally sharp is “everything they need”
Cognivia is a vegetal nootropic, the first ingredient to combine Garden Sage leaf extract and Spanish Sage encapsulated essential oil. Cognivia has been revealed as 2020 finalist for the NutraIngredients Awards (Europe & USA) in the Healthy ageing category and Cognitive function category!
Nexira’s recent in vivo study shows the beneficial synergistic effect of the two sage species on long-term memory, in both single dose and prolonged use.
Our first clinical study was conducted on healthy active volunteers. Results, assessed by well-known COMPASS battery of cognitive tests, have demonstrated:
- Overall benefit on working memory function
- Increase of performance over time consumption
- Efficacy from single intake to prolonged use
The NEW placebo controlled, double-blind, randomised, crossover clinical study during intense physical activity has highlighted:
- Acute effect
Once again, Cognivia has been proven to be efficient from single intake. - Working memory boost
+9% increase in numeric working memory - Reaction time improvement
Compared to placebo, Cognivia has demonstrated a systematic and overall significant decrease in reaction time throughout all test points, which could lead to higher attention performance for e-gaming. - Perceived exertion decrease
Cognitive tests were performed during intense physical activity. Workout has been felt as very intense and inducing fatigue. Cognivia has shown a significant overall decrease in rate of perceived exertion compared to placebo.
