Could blackcurrant supplements boost thinking in low oxygen?
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a blackcurrant-based supplement can help thinking and memory when you are exposed to low oxygen (like at high altitude). If it works, it could be a natural way to keep your mind sharp in challenging environments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a male between the ages of 18 and 35
- Live at a low altitude (below 500 meters, about 1,640 feet), like near sea level
- Be generally healthy with no major medical conditions like heart, lung, or brain disorders, diabetes, or color blindness
- Not have any food allergies to blackcurrant, tree nuts, pine nuts, or tea
- Not be taking medications or supplements that affect the brain or that are high in berry extracts
- Be willing to undergo safety checks (blood test for sickle cell trait, ECG, heart rate, blood pressure) and give blood samples

This study tests a supplement containing caffeine, vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts to see if it helps thinking, sleep, and overall well-being. You would take the supplement or a placebo for a period and complete tasks and questionnaires.
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 study tests whether giving extra oxygen to healthy people living at high altitudes can improve memory, attention, and thinking. If you live at around 8,200 feet, this trial might help show if extra oxygen can boost brain function.
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 study tests whether combining short periods of reduced oxygen (like high-altitude breathing) with exercise can improve memory and thinking in adults aged 50-65. It may help boost brain function and overall health.
