"Be focused—stay smart" is the motto behind the launch of SaraPEPP Nu, the latest addition to the Food & Health portfolio of Mibelle Biochemistry.
The Swiss ingredients supplier said the new product is a natural, unique and innovative cognition enhancer, and that SaraPEPP Nu is prepared from Timut Pepper and MCT oil.
Mibelle explained: "The dried fruits of timut pepper, a member of the citrus family and native to the southern edge of the Himalaya, are used to prepare SaraPEPPTM Nu by a gentle extraction process using MCT (medium- chain triglycerides) oil as extraction solvent.
This process ensures a high content of the main lead substance–the alkylamide "hydroxy-α-sanshool".
MCTs, also called the “brain octane”, passively diffuse from the GI tract into the bloodstream securing a superb bioavailability.
Improvement of cognitive performance has been demonstrated in a placebo-controlled and registered clinical trial in healthy humans (UK working population; n=81) after acute and chronic intake:
- Improved working memory and attention
- Increased mental performance
- Reduced ratings of mental fatigue
- Improved neural efficacy
Suitable for students, working professionals and golden agers SaraPEPPTM Nu can be easily blended with essential nutrients like omegas, vitamin A & E, carotenoids and others.
Commenting on the applications, Mibelle said: "Thanks to its fantastic organoleptic properties SaraPEPPTM Nu is also applicable for a broad range of functional food applications including the rising category of nootropic beverages."
