The Claim

Daily supplementation with 300 mg of Memophenol™ for 24 weeks has no statistically significant effect on episodic memory in adults aged 60–80 with mild cognitive impairment.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Cause and effect

In plain English

Taking 300 mg of Memophenol™ daily for 24 weeks does not change episodic memory in adults aged 60–80 with mild cognitive impairment compared to a placebo.

See the scientific wording

Supplementation with 300 mg daily of Memophenol™ for 24 weeks does not significantly improve episodic memory in adults aged 60–80 with mild cognitive impairment, as no between-group difference was observed despite a 3.99% improvement in the treatment group and 3.36% in the placebo group (p=0.777).

Why this might work

The supplement does not alter brain chemistry, neural signaling, or memory storage processes in a way that improves recall of past events.

  1. Study: Effects of a polyphenol-rich grape and blueberry extract (Memophenol™) on cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study

    The study gave older adults with memory problems a grape and blueberry supplement for six months and found that their ability to remember specific events didn't get any better than people who took a sugar pill. So, the supplement didn't help with this kind of memory.
