A new clinical study found that adults who took FOCUSfactor as directed improved their memory, concentration and focus. FOCUSfactor is a nutritional supplement formulated with a patent-pending blend of brain supporting vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients.
The clinical study was presented at The Gerontological Society of America’s 64th Annual Scientific Meeting in November 2011. With 5400 members from more than 40 countries, The Gerontological Society of America is the nation’s oldest and largest interdisciplinary organizations devoted to research, education and practice in the field of aging.
Dr. Gary Kay, a clinical neuropsychologist and president of Cognitive Research Corporation said, “We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the effects of FOCUSfactor on memory, concentration and focus in healthy adults. The results are scientifically and clinically significant.”
The clinical study used the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), a standardized, widely used neuropsychological test and one of the most commonly used tests of memory in psychopharmacology research. The RAVLT was originally developed in the 1940s and has proven useful in evaluating verbal learning and memory. The study also used CogScreen, a computer-administered neuropsychological test battery developed for the Federal Aviation Administration for evaluating the cognitive functioning of pilots. The test is used worldwide in pilot selection as well as by the U.S. military and in clinical research trials evaluating effects of treatments on cognitive functioning.
“The clinical study demonstrated that, compared to placebo, FOCUSfactor improved abilities referred to as memory, concentration and focus in healthy adults,” said Dr. Kay. “The most dramatic effects were seen on the initial learning trials of RAVLT and were confirmed by findings on the CogScreen measures of concentration and working memory. Following 6 weeks of treatment, subjects who received FOCUSfactor had a mean increase in recall of 6.5 words compared to 4.5 words for those who received placebo.”
The clinical study of FOCUSfactor was sponsored by Factor Nutrition Labs and was conducted by Cognitive Research Corporation, a full-service contract research organization.
