Consuming pomegranate juice daily during pregnancy may protect brain development and brain connectivity in babies diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).

The exploratory study, supported by the National Institute of Health Grants and The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital has already lead to a second, larger clinical trial at the Brigham to validate these findings. The protective effects of polyphenols against neurodegenerative diseases have been explored in various scientific studies but to date, no clinical studies have evaluated the potential effects of giving pregnant women pomegranate juice to support the brains of at-risk newborns.

PureSea® unique seaweed ingredients are a natural vegan wholefood source of iodine, an essential nutrient and integral component of the thyroid hormones. Iodine mediates the effects of thyroid on brain development and other functions in the body, including metabolism, nervous system, development in children and healthy skin.*

Demonstrated in independent clinical trials, PureSea® seaweed releases iodine in a sustained way, with longer retention in the body compared to artificial sources (potassium iodide) often used in food supplements.

To achieve an EFSA claim on cognitive health, only 100mg of PureSea® are needed per serving, allowing multiple product concepts and ingredient combinations. And with PureSea® Protect, almost any application is possible due to the proprietary micro-encapsulation of the powder that results in a white, odourless and highly dispersible powder, with proven targeted nutrient release during digestion.

Four years ago, researchers at Swinburne University conducted a study investigating the effects of Longvida® curcumin on cognition and mood in a healthy older population (aged 60-80). After 4 weeks of administration, they found that daily Longvida® (400 mg) supplementation led to significant improvements in cognitive function in as little as one hour. This 2015 "NutraIngredients Research of the Year" winner included measures for memory, attention, fatigue, stress, and mood and prompted researchers to evaluate cognitive impact after long term supplementation with a second study. The follow-up study aimed to determine whether similar effects were evident following 12 weeks of taking Longvida.

We are excited to share that the much-awaited results are in; according to Scholey et al., this follow-up study “confirms that Longvida® improves aspects of mood and working memory in a healthy older cohort”. The study is still awaiting publication but initial details can be read in the scientific summary, downloadable here.

Longvida® has been self-affirmed GRAS since 2012 and has been extensively investigated for its efficacy and safety in multiple human clinical trials, animal studies, and in in vitro experimental studies.

Gota et al (2010) investigated the pharmacokinetics of Longvida® compared to 95% standard curcuminoids in a crossover, double-blind, comparative pharmacokinetic analysis in healthy adult human subjects. In these healthy subjects, the mean peak concentration of curcumin (Cmax) achieved from dosing 650mg of Longvida® SLCP was 22.43 ng/mL, whereas plasma curcumin from dosing an equal quantity of unformulated 95% curcuminoids extract was not detected (<1 ng/ml). In the same study, administration of Longvida® in oral dosages of 2000mg, 3000mg, and 4000mg (containing 400-600mg of curcumin, respectively), with 8oz of water to osteosarcoma patients showed high plasma concentrations and dose-related AUCs. Overall, good tolerability was noted in both healthy and osteosarcoma groups.
