Brainberry® is a proprietary Aronia berry extract designed to enhance cognitive performance and brain fitness.



Brainberry® is a nootropic ingredient standardized for high levels of cyanidin-3-O-galactoside (>15%), a powerful anthocyanin able to cross the blood-brain barrier and increase the level of acetylcholine, an essential neurotransmitter.



Brainberry® is supported by two clinical studies which demonstrated brain health benefits with a low daily dose of only 65 mg, such as:



  • Improved attention, focus, concentration
  • Enhanced psychomotor control and reaction time
  • Better mental flexibility
  • Maintains optimal levels of BDNF - essential for brain health



Brainberry® was also tested on gamers and professional basketball athletes, showing excellent performance improvement in these target groups.



Brainberry® is water-soluble and can be formulated in various dietary supplement forms, including capsules, sachets, tablets, chewable, gummies, shots and shelf-stable drinks.



Key applications:



  • Students, busy professionals
  • E-sports gamers
  • Sports Nutrition
  • Eye-health
