Using in-house proprietary smart delivery technology, Nektium recently developed a water-soluble version of Zynamite
A new double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study shows the water-soluble form of Nektium’s Zynamite can significantly improve cognitive performance in beverages and beyond.
Zynamite is a patented mango leaf extract produced in Spain by Nektium, using a proprietary process that ensures the highest levels of purity and efficacy. Studies have already shown that the award-winning mangiferin ingredient provides fast-acting, non-stim mental energy without side effects and it has been used successfully in a range of supplements.
However, mangiferin’s naturally low solubility has limited its potential for energy drinks and other beverage applications. In addition, higher dosages were previously required due to the impact of the low solubility on bioabsorption.
Using in-house proprietary smart delivery technology, Nektium recently developed a water-soluble version of Zynamite. It has a neutral taste and is optimised for use in beverage applications, maintaining the level of mangiferin absorbed to ensure its efficacy even at low dosages.
New research published in Pharmaceuticals now confirms that the water-soluble version of Zynamite (Zynamite S) maintains its beneficial effects on cognitive performance and mood at a lower dose. The acute study on university students demonstrated that participants taking a single dose of Zynamite saw significant improvements in performance across a wide range of tests, including processing speed, complex task handling, and mental flexibility.
The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study evaluated the efficacy of a single dose of water-soluble Zynamite on comprehensive cognitive function, mental energy, and mood. It featured 120 healthy university students, who were each given 100mg or 150mg of Zynamite, standardised to contain at least 60 per cent of mangiferin, or a placebo.
