Conditions: Cognition, Cognitive Performance

Sex: All
Ages: 40 Years – 79 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 120

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of AP-Brain on cognitive performance at varying dosages in healthy middle-aged and older adults with self-reported memory problems. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of AP-Brain at 1 g, 3 g, and 5 g on cognitive performance? Participants will be asked to consume AP-Brain at 1 g, 3 g, or 5g, or Placebo and asked to complete memory assessment questionnaires.
