MORRISTOWN, N.J., Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PLT Health Solutions, Inc is launching a novel ingredient to support a broad range of cognitive performance abilities. Called Nutricog® Cognitive Performance Complex, it is a patented combination of Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and Boswellia (Boswellia serrata) — standardized to gallic acid, ellagic acid and amyrins. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, users of Nutricog demonstrated significant improvements compared to placebo across multiple cognitive domains, including learning, memory, sustained attention, working memory and executive function, where increases in cognitive speed were seen concurrently with improvements in accuracy while multitasking. The earliest clinically significant benefits (memory and focus) for Nutricog were shown to start at just 15 days after commencing use. PLT is introducing Nutricog at Natural Products Expo West in March and at Vitafoods Europe in May.

Key Points: 
  • Called Nutricog® Cognitive Performance Complex, it is a patented combination of Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and Boswellia (Boswellia serrata) — standardized to gallic acid, ellagic acid and amyrins.
  • According to Seth Flowerman, President & CEO of PLT Health Solutions, the new ingredient was developed in response to consumer interest in maximizing cognitive support as a quality-of-life issue.
  • "Today, we are seeing rapidly increasing interest in cognitive support for a broad range of lifestyle goals.
  • At PLT, we're very excited to be introducing Nutricog to the market after more than five years in development.

Can memory game apps provide any benefit when it comes to improving a person's memory?

Key Points: 
  • Can memory game apps provide any benefit when it comes to improving a person's memory?
  • Memory can also be broken down into three stages/types: sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory.
  • Sensory memory is the briefest form of memory and the first stage of memory.
  • From apps developed with the help of neuroscientists, such as CogniFit , to apps aiding in memory enhancement, such as Eidetic, there's a brain-training game for you.

In a new study in mouse cells, Columbia neuroscientists have mapped some of the molecular machinery that helps the brain maintain these kinds of long-term memories.

Key Points: 
  • In a new study in mouse cells, Columbia neuroscientists have mapped some of the molecular machinery that helps the brain maintain these kinds of long-term memories.
  • With today's study, we've shed new light on the molecular underpinnings behind our brain's ability to make, keep and recall memories over the course of our lives."
  • All memories, even fleeting ones, are made when tiny branches, called axons, which extend out from neurons, connect to each other.
  • They found that CPEB3 is present at the brain's synapses when memories are formed and recalled.
