Science & Research
Verifiable Science
Rapid Mental Energy combines clinically studied extracts, Alpinia galanga (enXtra) and American ginseng (Cereboost®), to support alertness and sharpen working memory.1-5 In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, enXtra significantly increased alertness scores from baseline values at 1 hour, 3 hours and 5 hours after a single 300 mg dose.1 Alertness scores were significantly greater in the enXtra group compared to placebo (p=0.04) at 3 hours post-dose. While enXtra supports alertness and attention network function (the ability to direct mental resources to a specific task), Cereboost® provides fast-acting support for acute visuospatial and verbal short-term (working) memory.1-5 in a study of 52 healthy middle-aged adults, Cereboost® (200 mg) improved working memory 3 hours after a single dose.2 In a randomized controlled clinical trial of 61 healthy young adults, daily use of Cereboost® (200 mg) improved working memory and attention.3 In a randomized, double-blind crossover trial of 32 healthy volunteers, a single dose of Cereboost® (200 mg) improved working memory (immediate word recall and visuo-spatial information retrieval) at 1 hour post-dose and was sustained over a 6 hour testing period.4 The ginsenosides in Cereboost® support cholinergic neurotransmission in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, key brain regions involved in learning and memory.5
