As consumers increasingly seek nutritional solutions for healthy aging and cognitive wellbeing, brain-health supplements are gaining growing attention. SEPIBRIGHT™ upcycled strawberry leaf extract is a clinically studied ingredient with strong formulation potential across a variety of galenic forms. It is designed for food supplement concepts positioned around long-term cognitive wellbeing, memory-related applications and stress-related mental wellbeing.
SEPIBRIGHT™ is a natural and high-quality upcycled strawberry leaf extract developed for food supplement concepts targeting cognitive wellbeing and healthy aging. Derived from strawberry leaves harvested in France, SEPIBRIGHT™ makes use of a valuable plant resource that would otherwise be discarded, transforming it into a premium nutraceutical ingredient. The extract is standardized in polyphenols and ellagitannins, which are key bioactive markers relevant for this ingredient category.
SEPIBRIGHT™ has been specifically developed for supplement concepts positioned around memory-related applications, learning-related performance and mental clarity in consumers seeking to maintain cognitive wellbeing with age. The ingredient is manufactured in France using a clean, solvent-free extraction process based on water only. With its sustainable sourcing, full traceability and upcycled origin, SEPIBRIGHT™ combines French sourcing, quality-focused production and responsible innovation.
Supplier-reported clinical data indicate positive outcomes on selected long-term memory and perceived-stress parameters. SEPIBRIGHT™ can be formulated as a central ingredient in food supplements developed for brain-health, cognition, memory-related and healthy-aging concepts. It is also suitable as a supporting ingredient in formulations positioned around mental clarity, mental performance and stress-related cognitive wellbeing.
Cognitive performance is an important part of healthy aging, and memory is a key parameter for maintaining independence, clarity and quality of life. According to supplier information, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study has been performed to evaluate the effect of SEPIBRIGHT™ on cognitive function.
A test panel of 98 healthy senior men and women aged 60–80 years with cognitive difficulties participated in the study. Over a period of 12 weeks, participants took either 300 mg of SEPIBRIGHT™ or placebo on a daily basis. Cognitive parameters were evaluated during the study, including visual long-term memory and verbal long-term memory.
According to the study results, SEPIBRIGHT™ was associated with positive outcomes in visual memory after 6 weeks, including fewer errors versus placebo. The study used a Paired Associates Learning (PAL) task, a cognitive test designed to assess visual memory and new learning. Reported results included an 18% reduction in PAL total errors after 6 weeks and a 23% reduction after 12 weeks versus baseline, alongside improvements in PAL memory score of 11% and 17%, respectively. These findings indicate improved learning of new visual information in the study setting.
After 12 weeks, the study results indicate that SEPIBRIGHT™ was associated with improved verbal long-term memory, including a 25% increase versus baseline in the number of recalled words among participants aged 60–69 years. The study also reported an improvement in word recognition accuracy versus placebo. In addition, SEPIBRIGHT™ was associated with an 11% reduction in perceived-stress scores after 6 weeks versus baseline.
