New stats have shown that the average American’s attention span has reduced from 12 seconds to eight – which can affect productivity and quality of work produced.
If you’re looking to stay focused during the workday and avoid a case of the Mondays? A new study published in the December 2014 Journal of Neurosurgical Sciences, shows that Pycnogenol® (pic-noj-en-ol), an antioxidant from French maritime pine tree bark, may help improve overall cognitive function in the work place.
The peer-reviewed study tested participants that supplemented Pycnogenol® 50mg three times daily in addition with a controlled health plan.
In addition, Pycnogenol® was found effective to:
- Significantly improve mood (16 percent increase Pycnogenol® / -2.1 percent control)
- Measurably boost mental performance (8.9 percent increase Pycnogenol® / 3.1 percent control)
- Advance sustained attention (13.4 percent increase) and memory (3.6 percent increase)
- Dramatically reduce oxidative stress (30 percent decrease Pycnogenol®)
