Sabroxy® for Mild Cognitive Impairment
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to determine if Sabroxy®, a plant extract, can improve memory and reduce insulin resistance (difficulty processing sugar) in individuals with mild cognitive issues. Participants will receive either Sabroxy® or a placebo (inactive pill) for 8 weeks to compare effects on brain function and sugar metabolism. The study seeks non-smokers who have experienced memory problems and have fasting glucose levels between 100-135 mg/dL. As an unphased trial, it offers participants the chance to contribute to groundbreaking research on natural treatments for cognitive health.
Do I need to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
You may need to stop taking certain medications, especially those that affect glucose tolerance. However, medications for chronic diseases that don't interfere with the study product might be allowed, but this will be decided by the study investigator.
Is there any evidence suggesting that Sabroxy® is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that Sabroxy®, a standardized extract from the Oroxylum indicum bark, is under study for potential benefits in individuals with mild memory problems and insulin resistance. Although earlier studies have not fully detailed its safety, its progression into trials for these conditions suggests some initial confidence in its safety. Earlier findings might have indicated that it is generally well-tolerated. However, specific information on side effects or adverse reactions in humans remains limited.
Researchers will closely monitor participants in the trial for any side effects or changes in vital signs. This careful monitoring ensures that any safety concerns are promptly addressed during the study.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Unlike the standard treatments for mild cognitive impairment, which often include medications like cholinesterase inhibitors and lifestyle changes, Sabroxy® is a dietary supplement derived from the Indian trumpet tree. Researchers are excited about Sabroxy® because it contains oroxylin A, a compound that may enhance cognitive function by increasing levels of dopamine in the brain. This unique mechanism of action offers a novel approach to managing cognitive symptoms, potentially providing benefits that traditional medications do not. Additionally, as a natural supplement, Sabroxy® might present fewer side effects, making it an attractive option for those seeking alternative therapies.
What evidence suggests that Sabroxy® might be an effective treatment for mild cognitive impairment?
Studies have shown that Sabroxy®, a natural extract from the bark of the Oroxylum indicum tree, can improve memory and thinking skills. Research indicates that individuals taking Sabroxy® demonstrated better memory for events and performed well on tasks like immediate word recall. Additionally, Sabroxy® might help with insulin resistance, a condition where the body doesn't use insulin effectively, leading to high blood sugar. The extract also appears to reduce inflammation, which is linked to various health issues, including memory and cognitive problems. Overall, these findings suggest Sabroxy® could enhance brain function and overall health in individuals with mild memory problems. Participants in this trial will receive either Sabroxy® or a placebo to further evaluate its effectiveness.12367
