About Neuravena

Neuravena® is a green oat extract sourced from a unique strain of Avena sativa L. known for its positive effects on cognitive markers. Because Frutarom works with contract farmers to cultivate this proprietary oat variety, we exercise full control over quality, safety and identify from field to finished product.

Why oat? Because oat enjoys a long history of contributing to physical and psychological health. Monographs convey oat’s record of mental and cognitive support, from reducing anxiety to helping manage stress. And in a first among oat extracts, Neuravena® substantiated these benefits via rigorous clinical studies.

Neuravena® is clinically proven safe and effective. On the safety side, our patented Hyperpure® technology guarantees the absence of contaminants. As for effectiveness, five clinical studies confirm Neuravena®’s benefits to cognitive function.

As an ingredient, Neuravena® suits a range of applications, from traditional supplement capsules and tablets to functional food and beverage options.

Mode of Action

Research demonstrates that Neuravena® acts via two mechanisms that impact both cognition and mental health:

  • Inhibition of the enzyme monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B)
  • Inhibition of the enzyme phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4)

Both enzymes act on the central nervous system and are believed to play a role in mental health and cognitive function, perhaps via their modulatory effects on anxiety, memory and depression. Besides MAO-B and PDE4 inhibition, other mechanisms may also be involved in Neuravena®’s ability to improve mental alertness. As the science on Neuravena® unfolds, we continue to uncover exciting possibilities.
