RBC Life Sciences, Inc., a provider of proprietary nutritional supplements and wound care/pain management products, announced today the debut of NeuroBright(TM), a patent-pending, nutritional supplement that improved test subjects' learning and memory skills by 50 percent during a recent laboratory trial.
The veteran researcher who conducted the NeuroBright trial said few of the studies he has conducted in his 25 years in the field of neuroscience saw such dramatic improvements in cognitive function.
Lucien Thompson, head of the neuroscience program in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas, said that his two-year animal study of NeuroBright showed that both young and aging rats in controlled trials saw marked improvement in learning and memory tasks similar to those that confront elderly populations. NeuroBright also improved psychomotor skills, including strength, endurance and balance, according to the study.*
"NeuroBright looks like it has a lot of promise to improve memory and learning, not just in rats but in people as well," Thompson said. NeuroBright showed the potential to enhance ". . .the ability to learn new things, remember those things and then use that information."
NeuroBright is a synergistic blend of herbs, whole food nutrients and RBC Life Sciences' Microhydrin(R), a uniquely formulated antioxidant whose health benefits have been detailed in numerous clinical and peer-reviewed studies. The company has filed for a composition-of-matter patent to protect NeuroBright's formulation.
"One of our greatest fears is losing our mental capacity during the aging process," said RBC Life Sciences President and CEO, John W. Price. "NeuroBright is the industry's first and only product to combine Microhydrin with research-supported ingredients shown to support cognitive function--all in the convenience of a single nutritional supplement."
"We believe NeuroBright will become one of RBC Life Sciences' flagship products and a major contributor in the effort to help people address their fears of cognitive decline. NeuroBright is a natural, safe and effective way of helping us to think, learn and remember."
The species of rat chosen for the double-blind, placebo-controlled trial shares many important biological attributes with humans. In addition to sharing just about every important protein, we share most of the same genome, similar developmental patterns and many of the same nervous system mechanisms, Thompson said.
The learning and memory portion of the study monitored the animals as they navigated a spatial maze. Subjects were fed one of four foods: a placebo, Microhydrin, a formula of 11 herbal antioxidants, and NeuroBright (Microhydrin combined with the 11 herbal antioxidants).
