LAS VEGAS, July 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Healthy Extracts Inc. (OTCQB: HYEX), a leading innovator of clinically proven plant-based products for heart and brain health, has launched a prospective, investigational trial to study the effect of its UBN ACTIVATE™ on golf performance.
The study will investigate if the natural brain activation supplement can improve golfers’ energy conservation, mental focus and score during each round.
During play, 10 subjects will wear metabolic measurement equipment to evaluate on-course energy expenditure. They will then play nine holes of golf with and without taking ACTIVATE, and rate their overall focus, tee shots, second shots and short game accordingly. Each subject will also be evaluated with their preferred mode of golf transport: pushcart, electric trolley or motor cart.
Neil Wolkodoff, PhD, medical program director of the Colorado Center for Health and Sports Science, will be the lead investigator for the study. An avid golfer, he has authored several books about the physiology of the sport, including Physical Golf and Core Powered Golf.
According to Dr. Wolkodoff, this is the first energy expenditure study of golf that will correlate mental focus to scores.
The study is sponsored by the Colorado Center for Health & Sports Science and the Colorado Golf Association, with the testing conducted at the Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora, Colorado. The study is expected to conclude in October, with the result to be published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal.
The study is expected to build upon the success of a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial published in Annals of Reviews and Research that highlighted the ability of ACTIVATE to naturally increase key brain activity by as much as 46%.
Clinical studies have shown ACTIVATE dramatically improves human cognitive behavior and mental focus by activating areas of the brain primarily responsible for attention, memory, mood, and reaction times. These benefits are a result of the company’s KETONOMICS® proprietary formulations clinically shown to quickly generate strong and sustained ketone levels in the brain.
Duke Pitts, president of Healthy Extracts, stated: “We anticipate significant results from this observational trial of the effect of ACTIVATE on golf performance. We’ve received preliminary positive indications, including anecdotal reports from users stating that their golf game improved substantially. We’re now looking forward to this study to provide actual results that will confirm these observations.”
According to Rich “The G-man” Goins, noted radio sportscaster and ACTIVATE user: “I attribute some of my best golf rounds in the last six months to taking UBN ACTIVATE. I’m definitely more focused and calm while putting, and have the mental edge in making shots that help me score and win tournaments.”
Added Pitts: “Looking at our sales channels, we see many B2B opportunities with major golf companies that would be interested in an all-natural supplement that could provide golfers an edge in their game. We also anticipate attracting golfers under our brand influencer program, where we can secure key product endorsements.”
The company plans to launch additional clinical trials studying ACTIVATE’s effect on athletes in other sports, such as martial arts.
