Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of taking Mind Lab Pro, a plant-based nootropic on memory in a group of healthy adults. Auditory, visual, visual working memory, immediate and delayed recall (DR) were assessed.

Methods

The study employed a pseudo randomised, double blinded, placebo-controlled design. A total of 49 healthy individuals completed the study with 36 in the experimental group and 13 in the control group. Participants ranged between 20 and 68 years with a mean age of 31.4 ± 14.4 years. Pre and post taking either the Mind Lab Pro supplement or placebo for 30 days. All participants completed the Wechsler Memory Scale Fourth UK Edition (WSM-IV UK).

Results

We found that the experimental group significantly improved in all memory subtests assessed (p < 0.05) whilst the control group only significantly improved in auditory memory and immediate recall (p = 0.004 and p = 0.014 respectively). A significant difference in immediate and DR was also found between the control and experimental group (p = 0.005 and 0.034 respectively).

Conclusion

The use of Mind Lab Pro for 4 weeks improves memory with the experimental group significantly improving in all sub areas of memory as assessed by the WSM-IV UK.

益智补充剂Mind Lab Pro对成人记忆的功效:双盲、安慰剂对照研究

目的探讨植物性益智药Mind Lab Pro对健康成人记忆的影响。评估听觉、视觉、视觉工作记忆、即时和延迟回忆(DR)。方法采用伪随机、双盲、安慰剂对照设计。共有49名健康个体完成了这项研究，其中实验组36人，对照组13人。参与者年龄在20 - 68岁之间，平均年龄31.4±14.4岁。前后服用Mind Lab Pro补充剂或安慰剂30天。所有参与者都完成了韦氏记忆量表第四版英国版(WSM-IV UK)。结果我们发现实验组在所有评估的记忆子测试中都有显著改善(p <而对照组仅在听觉记忆和即时回忆方面有显著改善(p = 0.004和p = 0.014)。对照组和实验组在即时和DR方面也有显著差异(p分别= 0.005和0.034)。结论使用Mind Lab Pro软件4周后，实验组患者的记忆水平均有显著提高。

期刊介绍： Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental provides a forum for the evaluation of clinical and experimental research on both new and established psychotropic medicines. Experimental studies of other centrally active drugs, including herbal products, in clinical, social and psychological contexts, as well as clinical/scientific papers on drugs of abuse and drug dependency will also be considered. While the primary purpose of the Journal is to publish the results of clinical research, the results of animal studies relevant to human psychopharmacology are welcome. The following topics are of special interest to the editors and readers of the Journal: -All aspects of clinical psychopharmacology- Efficacy and safety studies of novel and standard psychotropic drugs- Studies of the adverse effects of psychotropic drugs- Effects of psychotropic drugs on normal physiological processes- Geriatric and paediatric psychopharmacology- Ethical and psychosocial aspects of drug use and misuse- Psychopharmacological aspects of sleep and chronobiology- Neuroimaging and psychoactive drugs- Phytopharmacology and psychoactive substances- Drug treatment of neurological disorders- Mechanisms of action of psychotropic drugs- Ethnopsychopharmacology- Pharmacogenetic aspects of mental illness and drug response- Psychometrics: psychopharmacological methods and experimental design
