Plasma metabolomics revealed an increase in a number of amino acids in response to MC intake, but not placebo. There was also a treatment effect for higher alertness (mean difference: 5♹, 95 % CI: 1♳, 10♵ %) and lower mental fatigue ratings (mean difference -9♵, 95 % CI: -16♵, -2♵ %) with MC. After 3 months, the MC resulted in higher accuracy in digit vigilance (mean difference: 3♳, 95 % CI: 0♲, 6♴ %) with lower number of false alarms (mean difference: -1♲, 95 % CI: -2♰, -0♴) compared with the placebo.
Cerebral blood flow was also monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy during the task battery, and questionnaires were administered to determine subjective sleep and health status and plasma metabolomics were analysed before and after supplementation. What are cherries Cherries are small, round, deep red stone fruit which are typically in season in the UK from June to July. Cognitive function and mood were assessed before and after supplementation using a computerised cognitive task battery and visual analogue scales. In a 3-month double-blinded, placebo-controlled parallel study, middle-aged adults (mean ± sd: 48 ± 6 years) were randomly assigned to either 30 ml twice daily of MC (n 25) or the same amount of an isoenergetic placebo (n 25). The current study aimed to determine the influence of chronic MC supplementation on cognitive function and mood. Tart Montmorency cherries (MC) are a particularly rich source of anthocyanins and other polyphenols that have been shown to elicit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and vasomodulatory actions.
