The growing interest in cognitive health

Consumers are increasingly looking for natural solutions that can help them think clearly, perform better and feel balanced. Google Trends analysis shows cognitive-related search terms grew by an average of 156% between 2021 and 2025 and Innova research also revealed that supplement launches with brain and mood benefit statements are growing at 8%. Givaudan’s proprietary research indicates that 71% of people believe staying mentally focused during physical activity improves their performance, reinforcing the link between cognitive support and active lifestyles.

Take a test drive with Cereboost™

For professional racecar drivers, every millisecond counts. That’s why Givaudan recently partnered with Michigan State University and professional racecar drivers from PitFit Inc. to test the performance benefits of Cereboost™, our clinically researched American Ginseng. The study revealed notable improvements in driving performance and perceived focus. Join us at our stand to try our unique interactive driving simulator and learn how this clinically substantiated ingredient supports cognitive performance, attention, and mood.
