Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if BrainPhyt, a microalgae based ingredient may affect cognitive function parameters in older healthy individuals with evidence of age-related cognitive decline.

In a double blind, randomized manner, 40 free living males and females between 55 to 75 years with age-associated memory decline will ingest Brainphyt supplement or Placebo for 12 weeks. Cognitive function battery will be realized after 4 and 12 weeks of supplementation.
