Seppic launched SEPIBRIGHT™ last week at Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona. SEPIBRIGHT™ is Seppic’s first nootropic botanical extract, with clinical evidence demonstrating improvement on long-term memory and learning capabilities, along with stress reduction.
As the global population ages, cognitive decline has become a primary health concern. This natural process, which can begin as early as one’s 30s, often manifests as a gradual decrease in processing speed and memory. Maintaining good cognitive abilities through proactive nutrition is now a key priority for some consumers, and the market for these solutions is growing rapidly. The global brain health supplements market, valued at approximately USD 11 billion in 2024, is forecasted to reach approximately USD 23 billion by 2030, representing a robust CAGR of 13% from 2025 to 2030. Notably, the memory enhancement segment dominated the market in 2024, accounting for a revenue share of nearly 25% (1).
To address this need, Seppic has developed SEPIBRIGHT™, an eco-designed, clinically studied nutraceutical active. This premium ingredient is derived from upcycled strawberry leaves, and is standardized in polyphenols and ellagitannins: these compounds play a key role in enhancing cognition through antioxidant defense, anti-inflammatory effects, and neuroprotective properties.
A gold-standard clinical study was led to substantiate SEPIBRIGHT™ efficacy, involving 98 healthy senior males & females (aged 60-80) experiencing cognitive difficulties. Participants were supplemented with either 300 mg/day of SEPIBRIGHT™ or a placebo for 12 weeks.
Key findings from the clinical study include:
- Enhanced Long-term memory:
- Visual Episodic Memory: a significant improvement in visual memory was observed after only 6 weeks, with an 18% reduction in errors and an 11% increase in memory scores.
- Verbal Episodic Memory: in the 60-69 age group, SEPIBRIGHT™ significantly improved verbal episodic memory after 12 weeks, with a 25% increase in recalled words and a 5.5% improvement in word recognition accuracy.
- Perceived Stress Reduction: SEPIBRIGHT™ significantly reduced perceived stress levels in just 6 weeks, a crucial benefit, as lowering stress further protects cognitive performance.
“With the launch of SEPIBRIGHT™, Seppic is entering the brain health market. This ingredient bridges the gap between clinical rigor and responsible commitment, thereby meeting the expectations of consumers who are committed to maintaining their cognitive function.”
Salma ZAHIDI, Product Manager, Nutrition.
Rooted in a circular economy approach, SEPIBRIGHT™ is 100% sourced from France, primarily from the world-renowned region of Plougastel, in Brittany. Through a five-year collaboration with local farmers, Seppic transforms traditionally discarded strawberry leaves into a high-value active ingredient using a solvent-free extraction process inspired by traditional herbal preparations.
