The Effects of Flavonoid Supplementation on Cognition and Neural Mechanisms in Healthy Older Adults

NCT03030053 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A double-blind, randomised, controlled, parallel arm chronic intervention trial with healthy older adults will be conducted to determine the effect of a flavonoid-rich supplement on cognitive function, peripheral arterial health and brain mechanisms. It is predicted that chronic flavonoid supplementation will result in cognitive benefits and that these may be due to beneficial effects of flavonoids on vascular and brain function.
