Blackcurrant supplement and brain function in low oxygen
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a blackcurrant-based supplement can help your brain work better when oxygen levels are low (like at high altitude). It may benefit healthy young men who live near sea level.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male between 18 and 35 years old.
- You live at an altitude below 500 meters (about 1,640 feet).
- You do not have serious health conditions (like heart or lung disease, diabetes, brain injury, or color blindness).
- You are not taking medications or supplements that affect your thinking, such as sedatives or stimulants.
- You do not have a food allergy or intolerance to blackcurrant, pine, or tea tree products.
- You are willing to give blood samples and attend all study visits.

This study tests whether a special nutritional drink can help your brain work better when you're under stress. If you're a healthy woman in her 40s or 50s who drinks coffee daily, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether taking two supplements, tyrosol and creatine, can improve how well you exercise and think. If you join, you'll take these supplements while keeping your usual workout and diet, and the researchers will measure changes in your performance and memory.
This trial tests whether a nitrate-rich food supplement can improve blood flow in the brain and help thinking and memory. It is for people with small vessel disease in the brain or diabetes who are at risk for cognitive decline.
This trial tests whether breathing low-oxygen air (like at high altitude) combined with exercise can improve memory and brain function in healthy middle-aged adults. You would do short exercise sessions while breathing a special air mixture, and the study will measure changes in your thinking and brain activity.
This trial tests whether stimulating acupoints (like acupressure) can protect your thinking and memory when oxygen levels are low, such as at high altitudes.
This study examines how your brain's ability to remember tasks changes when exposed to moderate altitude with lower oxygen. Researchers want to understand this effect in healthy volunteers to advance knowledge about altitude physiology.
