Sibelius Sage for Cognition

Sibelius sage™ is a unique and specific extract of sage species Salvia officianalis.

The effect of Sibelius Sage™ on the cognitive function of older healthy individuals was investigated in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, balanced, crossover study.
The acute effects of Sibelius Sage ™ on cognitive performance (either 167 or 333 mg input) in 20 healthy adults aged between 65-90 years of age. The study looked at secondary and working memory as well as aspects of attention using a Cognitive Drug Research computerized assessment. It was found that Sibelius sage™ extract can improve cognitive function in healthy older people.

The main effect authors saw dose-specific improvement in secondary memory performance for the 333 mg dose. Accuracy of attention also showed significant improvement when compared to placebo, as did working memory.
