CERA-Q.

Overview

Silkworm cocoons are composed almost entirely of protein. Silkworm cocoon protein is mostly fibroin - the tough, resilient inner core protein of the thread. Cera-Q is a specially prepared, proprietary enzymatic hydro - lysate of fibroin protein from silkworm cocoons intended to support brain health and mental functions. Historically silk protein hydrolysates have been consumed as food and in traditional Asian medicine for its purported health benefits, and its use as a prepared nutraceutical spawned from biomedical research on the hydrolysate.

Cera-Q clinical studies

Our research team from Brainon Inc., Inner Path Nutrition Reno, and Creighton University Medical Center sought to confirm effects of a silk fibroin hydrolysate (Cera-Q®) on learning and memory with the Rey-Kim Memory Test. In this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, 76 Normal, healthy volunteers between 28-92 years of age were divided into 4 groups of 19 individuals. The groups of subjects orally consumed either the Placebo, or 280, 400, or 600 mg of Cera-Q daily for 3 weeks.

The effect of Cera-Q as a function of dose on the Memory Quotient (MQ) is presented in Figure. Significant dose-dependent changes in the MQ between baseline and the end of the study were observed for each Cera-Q group. The Placebo group exhibited a non-significant 2.5% increase. The 280 mg Cera-Q group exhibited 8.9% increase in the MQ. The 400 mg Cera-Q group exhibited a 17.5% increase in the MQ. A 24.8% increase in the MQ occurred for the 600 mg Cera-Q group. When the differences in the MQ before and after intake for subjects in each group were plotted in Figure, the dose-dependent increases were statistically significant from one another.
