1 Understanding the potential of cognitive ingredients Dr Carrie Ruxton Freelance Dietitian
2 Cognitive health important across the lifecycle Higher IQ Diet & Supplements Brain development Slower cognitive decline Mental health Support for learning
3 Likely effects are different for different groups of people Boosting via programming Support for normal Preventing disorders Preventing or slowing decline
4 Nutrients with brain-related health claims Claim Maternal intake contributes to normal brain development of foetus & breastfed infants Contributes to maintenance of normal brain function (all ages) Contributes to normal cognitive function Contributes to normal psychological function Contributes to normal mental performance Nutrient Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) DHA Iodine, iron, zinc Biotin, folate, niacin, vitamins B1, B6, B12, vitamin C, magnesium Pantothenic acid
5 Food sources Iodine Biotin Iron B vitamins DHA/EPA Vitamin D Magnesium Folate Vitamin C
6 Most evidence relates to long-chain omega 3 fatty acids Fats Monounsaturated Polyunsaturated Saturated Omega 9 fats (olive oil) Omega 6 fats (sunflower oil) Omega 3 fats Shorter-chain e.g. ALA Longer-chain e.g. DHA, EPA
7 Sources of DHA/EPA Oily fish e.g. salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, trout (2-3.9g EPA/DHA per 140g portion) Seafood e.g. prawns (0.2g/portion) Red meat (~0.1g per 100g) Cod liver oil (vits A,D) ( g per daily dose) Fish body oil supplements (content as above) Specialist supplements for pregnancy, infants, elderly containing other nutrients
8 Recommendations General advice: 2 portions of fish per week, one of which should be oily (translates as 0.45g DHA/EPA per day or 3g per week) Men and older women can have up to 4 portions of oily fish weekly Higher amounts recommended in US for therapeutic reasons e.g. 1g/d for heart health post-mi (AHA)
9 mg LCn3PUFA per day UK intakes below recommendations UK rec = 450 mg per day y 11-18y 19-64y 65y+ Male Female Bates et al. (2012); with thanks to Dr Rachael Gibbs, University of Reading.
10 grams/week Driven by low intakes of oily fish Half of weekly target y 4-10y 11-18y 19-64y 65y+ NDNS, Bates et al (2011). Data include coated fish and fish dishes
11 DHA/EPA should be consumed directly from the diet as synthesis from ALA is inefficient and inhibited by high n6 PUFA intakes ALA/day Blood EPA Blood DHA 3 g + 53% + 4% 3 g + 45% + 21% 3.5 g + 60% + 2% 9.6 g % + 0.5% 13.7 g + 138% + 14% Only 5 out of 20 studies showed +ve effect on DHA Brenna et al.

13 DHA present in a wide range of body tissues Arterburn et al. (2008) Am J Clin Nutr 83: 1467S 76S.
14 Pregnancy Evidence Foetal IQ programming mature sleep patterns better visual acuity Reducing risk of postnatal depression (emerging evidence)
15 Maternal supplementation with fish oil improves infant IQ RCT; 341 women took cod liver oil from wk 18 of pregnancy until 3 months post-birth; Total LC PUFA 2.5g daily Mental, sequential & simultaneous processing, non-verbal abilities Helland et al (2003) Pediatrics 111, e39 e44.
16 Evidence inconsistent RCT n=152 women suppl from 20th wk pregnancy until delivery 500mg DHA + 150mg EPA daily No sign if difference in cognitive function intervention vs. placebo offspring at 6.5y But children with better cognitive function more likely to have mothers with significantly higher DHA status during pregnancy. Campoy et al (2011) Am J Clin Nutr 94: 1880S-1888S
17 Maternal EPA/DHA supplementation boosts levels in breast milk Arterburn et al. (2008) Am J Clin Nutr 83: 1467S 76S.
18 Infanthood Evidence Normal development of retina and brain Support for normal learning and development Enhanced cognitive function and IQ (emerging evidence)
19 Why DHA is vital in 1 st year Brain continues to grow at foetal rate from birth to ~6 months Birth DHA uptake follows similar trajectory until ~18 months
20 Cognitive improvements in preterm babies fed fatty acids RCT n=470, US pre-term babies Received AA+DHA vs. control formulae Significantly better visual acuity and motor skills at 6 months in suppl group Significantly better vocabulary comprehension at 14 months in supplemented group O Connor et al (2001). Pediatrics 108:
21 Developmental improvements in term infants RCT n=56, US normal term babies Received formula supplemented with DHA or DHA/AA vs. control formula Followed up at 4, 12 and 18 months Mean increase of 7 points on the Mental Development Index in DHA+AA group But evidence inconsistent Birch et al (2000).

29 Cochrane review of studies in healthy elderly inconclusive Systematic review of studies > 6 month in healthy, normal elderly people N=3536 participants taking part in 3 trials of LCn3PUFA suppl. No evidence of cognitive benefit However, participants in control and intervention groups experienced either small or no cognitive decline

32 Other interventions Many studies providing vitamins and minerals to children in developing countries with most finding positive results for cognitive performance However, most multinutrient interventions in normal Western populations inconclusive Specific nutrients, particularly B vits, zinc, iron, seem to work when given to vulnerable groups e.g. elderly, cognitively impaired, AD, eating disorders
33 MAKING SENSE OF THE EVIDENCE
34 What is the potential of cognitive ingredients? Good evidence that certain vitamins and minerals support normal function Studies in future may well prove that certain nutrients boost function in vulnerable groups
35 Best evidence is for fatty acids Good evidence that EPA and DHA are vital for normal development and help maintain brain function throughout life Emerging evidence for programming effect in utero and support for learning during childhood Conflicting evidence in depression and prevention of dementia/cognitive decline due to methodological issues (type of fatty acid, baseline status and health of population)
36 Applications Supplements, especially fish oil supplements that are research backed and formulated blends, considering that oily fish intakes are so low Natural foods for supporting cognitive function e.g. fish, lean red meat, eggs, fruit, green leafy vegetables, nuts Fortified brain health food and drink products some already available with caffeine
37 Different needs at different life stages but all dependent on pre-existing nutritional status DHA, AA Iron, iodine, EPA, DHA EPA, iron B vitamins; EPA and DHA
