The macro-trend

Cognitive health, a new priority for functional food

Our cognitive functions evolve throughout life as our brain develops, matures and ages like any other organ in our body. In order to maintain good mental health and to age well, it is important to maintain healthy cognitive function.

 

Fast growing mature population (over 60 years old) will represent more than 20% of world population or about 2 billion consumers by 2050. This population is seeking to slow natural decline, retain autonomy and quality of life.

The blue solution

BrainPhyt™, a natural solution to preserve cognitive function

BrainPhyt™ is a natural bioactive compound derived from Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a marine microalgae produced in environmentally controlled eco-friendly photobioreactors free of GMO, pollutants, or pesticides. Its unique and patented composition is the product of 4 years of systematic research, vigorous testing, and product innovation.

A unique composition of Phycoprostanes, Xanthophylls (including fucoxanthin), Omega-3, Fatty acids, Sterols…

The proof of concept
Maintaining  cognitive function throughout life

BrainPhyt™ is aimed at maintaining cognitive function throughout life, especially slowing loss of short-term and spatial memory. Evaluated through 7 pre-clinical studies, it has shown greater efficacy compared to DHA alone and Ginkgo biloba extract both recognized as benchmarks for improving and maintaining brain function.

Short term spatial memory

Positive dose-dependent effect from BrainPhyt™ lowest dose and maximum efficacy at intermediate dosage on Short-term spatial memory. Higher doses allow a significant reduction of the effects of aging on this parameter

These preclinical studies were conducted by mimicking the effects of cognitive decline by chronic intoxication of mice with D-Galactose (D-Gal)

Oxidative brain stress

BrainPhyt™ supplementation significantly reduces the oxidation of brain lipids in oxidative stress and restores the parameters to basal levels.

These preclinical studies were conducted by mimicking the effects of cognitive decline by chronic intoxication of mice with D-Galactose (D-Gal)

Brain stress biomarker

BrainPhyt™ decreases significantly IL-6 concentrations in the brain

The development of BrainPhyt™ was supported by the European Commission as part of Horizon 2020 “SME Instrument” project aimed at promoting innovation and selecting the most promising innovation projects in Europe under contract #726799.
