The primary aim of this randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel groups study was to assess the effects of a daily dose of Turmeric Brainwaves, versus placebo, both acutely and following 90 days consumption. Effects were to be assessed in 55-75 year old males and females who reported that their memory now was worse than when in their 20's. Effects were assessed via cognitive (including COMPASS and Cognimapp as well as 2 real-world long-term memory tasks (location-action (AKA Prospective Remembering Video Procedure (PRVP)) and recall of facts)) and mood (using visual analogue scales) outcomes and, additionally, stool and urine samples collected at the beginning and the end of the trial period assessed the microfloral community of the gut and urinary metabolome.
This study investigated the effects of a proprietorial herbal supplement, Turmeric Brainwave (now Mind focus), on cognition, mood and the microbiome in older adults experiencing subjective memory decline, following 90 days supplementation.
