Summary

This study tested whether a daily berry leaf extract supplement could improve memory, attention, and mood in healthy adults aged 60 to 80 who had minor memory complaints. Over 12 weeks, 109 participants took either the supplement or a placebo. The main focus was on changes in working memory and other cognitive skills.
