Study Summary

Elderberries (Sambuci fructus) have been shown in a number of studies to have significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Multiple human and animal studies have supported the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of elderberry preparations and it has been used in natural medicine for hundreds of years. Studies examining factors that may decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease have revealed that drinking juices with similar properties to elderberries is one of the most reliable way to decrease risk. As such the investigators wish to determine the effects of elderberry juice on cognitive decline in a group of subjects at high risk for Alzheimer's disease, those with mild cognitive impairment. Elderberry juice is a commercially available nutritional supplement and easily available to this population.

Primary Outcome

Problem solving task for detecting non-memory impairments in MCI. Change in score is the outcome measure. The task is a timed task, with the outcome measured in seconds. Each item was allowed 240 seconds for solution, with times averaged for items. Therefore, there was a range of 0-240 with lower being better.
