Study of Skoshify Think Tank Nutritional Drink Effects on Thinking and Stress in Women Aged 40 to 60

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the effects of a nutritional drink called Think Tank on cognitive performance and well-being in middle-aged women aged 40 to 60. The study focuses on how this drink may impact brain functions like memory, attention, flexibility, and control after exposure to psychological and physical stress. The study also looks at stress markers such as heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels, mood, sleep quality, fatigue, effort, and productivity. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study using a crossover design to compare the drink with a placebo in combination with caffeine. Participants will attend three visits over up to eight weeks. The first visit involves health screening, familiarization with cognitive tests, and baseline assessments. During the second and third visits, participants will consume either the active nutritional formulation or a placebo drink with caffeine, followed by a stress challenge involving social and physical stress tests. Cognitive tests and stress-related measures will be taken before and after the stress exposure. The nutritional formulation contains a blend of ingredients including magnesium, creatine, L-tyrosine, phosphatidylserine, L-theanine, citicoline, and rhodiola. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including cognitive testing with CANTAB tasks, saliva samples for cortisol, heart rate and blood pressure monitoring, mood and fatigue questionnaires, and online surveys about sleep and productivity 24 hours after each test session. Side effects and physical experiences will also be recorded. The study aims to measure working memory, cognitive flexibility, sustained attention, and inhibitory control at baseline and after stress exposure with the drink or placebo.
