DID YOU KNOW that a study from British Journal of Nutrition found tart cherry extract supplements have an "anti-fatiguing" effect? In the 3-month double-blinded, placebo-controlled parallel study, middle-aged adults were randomly assigned to either tart cherry extract supplements or placebo. The tart cherry group showed better sustained attention and psychomotor speed, higher alertness, and lower mental fatigue especially during times of high cognitive demand. The authors purport that high anthocyanin, as well as, melatonin content, leading to better sleep, mood, and amino acid metabolism, are chiefly responsible for the robust results.

‌ Score One for Nutrient Research
Steve: You may be unaware of a draconian rule the FDA implemented 8 years ago that grounded nutrient research to a halt. The only reason why you read about so many nutrient studies in our newsletter is because I spend an inordinate amount of time poring over journals to find them. In 2014, the FDA started applying drug rules to research being conducted on nutrients. For example, if a university researcher wanted to evaluate a yogurt product from the grocery store that contains probiotics for its ability to prevent constipation in healthy adults, that researcher would have to file an investigational new drug application with the FDA. Encouragingly, after years of political action, the FDA’s newly proposed rule would, in certain situations, exempt researchers evaluating a drug use of a food, supplement, or cosmetic (that is, a food or nutrient’s ability to treat or prevent a disease) from having to go through incredibly burdensome drug application process. Because most studies on nutrients are performed by academic researchers at universities and hospitals, this will free them up to do more studies on supplements. This all sounds very technical but this is an immense victory that will end years of stifled research on supplements. Consequently, when more positive research is published and makes its way into the mainstream, this exposure can only be good for our overall wellbeing as a population.
