Internet cognition study seeking volunteers aged 50-79

[Angry Girl]

The very reputable company Juvenon is conducting a cognition study. Juvenon was founded by world-renowned biochemist Bruce Ames for the purpose of marketing the anti-aging cocktail of alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-L-carnitine. This combo boosts cellular energy at the mitochondrial level and cleans up free radicals responsible for cellular-level destuction.

"'With the two supplements, the old rats got up and did the Macarena,' said Ames. 'The brain looked better; they were full of energy.' It was the equivalent of making an 80-year-old person look and act middle-aged."

As per the page http://www.juvenon.com/science/cognition.htm,

The study will be conducted over the Internet. This modality will allow a larger number of participants than would be possible in a site-based study. Use of the Internet means that enrollment will not be confined to any one particular geographic area.

Approximately 180 volunteers men and women between the ages of 50 and 79 will be enrolled. Each subject will take tablets twice a day for 12 weeks. At the outset of the study, and several times after that, participants will be asked to self-administer a series of tests while sitting at their home computers. Individual test results will be available to participants upon completion of the study.

Google Bruce Ames if you want to find out more about his rock-solid reputation.

Note: If you are picked for the study, realize that you may be administered a placebo. You can, however, buy alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-L-carnitine separately from other stores or make your own capsules. An excellent store for selection and prices is http://www.beyond-a-century.com. Remember that the natural R form of alpha-lipoic acid is the one used in the clinical studies, and not the cheaper mix of R and S forms of alpha-lipoic acid, which is 2 to 10 times less efficient than the R form, depending on the literature.

And, aside from being a customer at BAC, I am not affiliated with any of the people or places mentioned.

1. Thanks for all the research.

2. I Just Volunteered

Could really use something like that. Even though the age range for the study barely overlaps. Will post feedback if chosen.
