Brainberry® has been used in commercialized dietary supplements outside of America for quite some time. It wasn’t until late 2021 that Brainberry® was featured in dietary supplements in the US.

The most popular category of dietary supplements you will find Brainberry® will be within the pre-workout (both stim and non-stimulant), fat burning and nootropic categories. Brainberry® has a multitude of benefits which can improve any pre-workout, fat burner or nootropic supplement.

Brainberry® was studied in a 12-week double-blind placebo controlled human clinical trial of 101 subjects. The subjects either consumed 65mg of Brainberry®, the recommended daily dose, or a placebo. The results were significant.

Focus was improved drastically in the Brainberry® group versus the placebo group. After six weeks of consumption there was a slight improvement, but after 12-weeks there was a statistically significant improvement with subjects experiencing a 43% increase in concentration levels.

During this same 12-week trial, subjects who consumed 65mg Brainberry® daily had an improvement in hand-eye coordination after just six weeks of use, and even more-so after 12-weeks of usage.  

In addition to boosting cognitive performance and psychomotor skills, Brainberry® has been shown to maintain optimal brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) levels. This is a key molecule for brain health.

Brainberry® is extracted from the Aronia fruit aka Chokeberries. This fruit has gained the notoriety of being called a “superfruit” in recent years for the many uses it has. BioActor standardizes the natural active ingredient for high levels of cyanidin-3-0-galactoside. This is a powerful anthocyanin (a group of antioxidants found in red, purple, and blue fruits and vegetables).

A major benefit to Cyanidin-3-0-glactoside is that it crosses the blood-brain barrier. The results of this are significant. Cyanidin-3-0-galactoside reduces the activity of Acetyl Choline Esterase. Acetyl Choline Esterase immediately breaks down Acetyl Choline levels in the brain. By reducing this enzyme, Brainberry® can help keep acetylcholine levels high in the brain which can improve focus and psychomotor skills.

In an unpublished study on gamers, 21 participants were given a 65 mg dosage of Brainberry®. After just seven days, users experienced an improvement in focus, reaction time, hand-eye coordination and energy. The results also showed that Brainberry® did not have any negative impact on sleep quality, anxiety levels and fatigue.

Across the globe you can find Brainberry® in sports nutritional supplements like pre-workout powders and nootropics. You can also find it in gummies geared towards gamers.
