Aronia and Improved Psychomotor Speed

Research synthesisLow evidenceSmall effect3 studies · 2 beneficial · 1 neutral · 0 harmful

Across 3 studies, 2 reported small beneficial effects of Aronia supplementation on psychomotor speed, while 1 found no effect. The median study duration was 42 days (range 7–168 days). The most studied doses were 90–150 mg/day of Aronia melanocarpa extract or 180 mg/day of anthocyanins, typically in healthy adults.

  • Effective dose range: 90–150 mg/day Aronia melanocarpa extract or 180 mg/day anthocyanins

Caveats: Evidence base is small (only 3 studies) — conclusions should be considered preliminary. Two of the three studies reached statistical significance, but one had a small sample size and short duration (7 days), limiting generalizability.
