"We are confident that this certification will further enhance the trust of our customers and partners in the quality and safety of our products."

According to Microphyt, BrainPhyt was recently validated in a human clinical trial, showing that supplementation with the ingredient supports cognitive health in healthy subjects between the ages of 55 and 75. In the study, 66 participants were given either two 275 mg capsules of BrainPhyt or placebo for 24 weeks. Results showed that supplementation with microalgae ingredient improved memory, executive function, attention, and vigilance. The study has not been published.
