In an in vitro screening study, 10 fractions were screened to determine the best target compound - hydroxycinnamic acids. The leaves of the plant were then selected for their richness in this compound and a patent-pending process was developed to deliver maximum effectiveness and applicability. The resulting extract has been shown to deliver stronger GABA activation vs. other products on the market.² GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human central nervous system,⁶ and low levels of it are associated with mild anxiety.⁷
In a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), 106 moderately stressed but otherwise healthy subjects were given either 300 mg of Zensera™ or a placebo in the morning.² They were then asked to perform a long and demanding cognitive assessment designed to stimulate a stressful day. The results showed a significant change in mental performance during stressful situations vs. placebo, as measured by accuracy scores on a Task Switching Task (TST), which evaluates the ability to quickly and efficiently switch between mental tasks. Subjects also showed significantly higher performance under stress on a Modified Attention Network Test (ANT) after five hours vs. baseline. Both findings indicate that Zensera™ may be helpful in supporting cognitive performance¹ during prolonged stress.
The study also showed that Zensera™ helped support cognitive performance for at least 5 hours after consumption.² This lasting efficacy makes it an excellent option for better managing long days that involve sustained cognitive demands.
