Meet the Berry That's Changing Brain Health

Aronia Berry Extract for Cognitive Support
A deep purple berry called Aronia melanocarpa is frequently consumed in Europe in the form of juice, jam, syrups, and wine. Although it hasn't yet gained the same level of popularity in the United States, this little-known berry extract has become one of the most exciting ingredients for brain health — as a special aronia extract called BrainBerry®.
Most people have never heard of BrainBerry®. But the research is fascinating.
What makes BrainBerry® different? It's a patented, standardized extract of aronia berry — not a generic superfruit powder. The clinical research has been done on this specific ingredient, at specific doses, in multiple populations. That's what separates it from the crowded field of general antioxidant claims.*
The Research
Four Human Clinical Studies. Four Different Populations.
As of 2026, BrainBerry® is supported by four human clinical studies spanning healthy adults, young gamers, young adults, and older adults. The consistency of findings across such different populations is what makes this ingredient stand out.*
2020 — Healthy Overweight Adults
90 mg
Significant improvement in psychomotor speed vs. placebo*
101 adults over 24 weeks. 90 mg/day improved the connection between cognitive functions — like attention and memory — and motor skills like movement and coordination.*
2021 — Young Gamers
65 mg
Improved focus, reaction time, coordination, and mood scores*
Young female and male amateur gamers experienced significant improvements in eye-hand coordination, concentration, energy, multi-tasking, and happiness.*
2024 — Young Adults
+5.7%
Increased BDNF — a critical brain protein — vs. placebo*
35 young adults over 1 week. BrainBerry® improved attention and psychomotor speed, and raised levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) — a protein that promotes the survival, growth, and maturation of neurons.*
2026 — Older Adults
20%
Fewer spatial working memory errors vs. placebo*
30 older adults (average age 65). BrainBerry® reduced spatial working memory errors by 20% and improved executive function — the higher-level skills that help you plan, solve problems, and manage impulses.*
The strongest and most consistent benefits across all four studies have been observed for psychomotor speed, attention, and executive function.*
"Most people have never heard of BrainBerry®. But the research is fascinating — four human clinical studies, across different age groups, showing consistent benefits for brain speed, attention, and cognitive function."

Why It Matters
BDNF: The Brain Protein You've Never Heard Of
One of the most significant findings in the 2024 study was that BrainBerry® increased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor — BDNF — by approximately 5.7% compared with placebo.*
BDNF is a critical brain protein that promotes the survival, growth, and maturation of neurons — the nerve cells your brain uses to process, store, and transmit information. Higher BDNF levels are associated with better learning, sharper memory, and greater cognitive resilience as we age.*
Think of BDNF as fertilizer for your brain. It doesn't just keep existing neurons alive — it helps grow new ones and strengthen the connections between them. Supporting healthy BDNF levels is one of the most meaningful things you can do for long-term brain health.*
