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.
Males and females 40-79 years of age, inclusive
Females not of child-bearing potential, defined as those who have undergone a sterilization procedure (e.g. hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, complete endometrial ablation) or have been post-menopausal for at least 1 year prior to screening
Hormonal contraceptives including oral contraceptives, hormone birth control patch (Ortho Evra), vaginal contraceptive ring (NuvaRing), injectable contraceptives (Depo-Provera, Lunelle), or hormone implant (Norplant System)
Double-barrier method
Individuals who are pregnant, breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study
Allergy, sensitivity, or intolerance to the investigational product or placebo ingredients
Self-reported confirmation of any significant neuropsychological condition and/or cognitive impairment (e.g., attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, infections, insomnia, depression, epileptic or other seizure-related disorders) that could interfere with study participation as assessed by the QI
Self-reported color blindness/weakness as assessed by the QI
Parallel
AP-Brain (1g)
Dietary supplementParticipants will be instructed to take one dose (5 tablets) of the study product with a standardized meal during their in-clinic visit. This group will receive 1 AP-Brain capsule and 4 placebo capsules.
AP-Brain (3g)
Dietary supplementParticipants will be instructed to take one dose (5 tablets) of the study product with a standardized meal during their in-clinic visit. This group will receive 3 AP-Brain capsules and 2 placebo capsules.
AP-Brain (5g)
Dietary supplementParticipants will be instructed to take one dose (5 tablets) of the study product with a standardized meal during their in-clinic visit. This group will receive 5 AP-Brain capsules and 0 placebo capsules.
Placebo
Other interventionParticipants will be instructed to take one dose (5 tablets) of the study product with a standardized meal during their in-clinic visit. This group will receive 5 0 AP-Brain capsules and 5 placebo capsules.
Change from baseline to Day 56 between AP-Brain and placebo in cognitive performance, as assessed by the CNS VS Neurocognitive Index (NCI) score
Change from baseline to Day 56 between AP-Brain and placebo in cognitive performance, as assessed by the CNS VS Neurocognitive Index (NCI) score and complex attention. The CNS VS test battery is a validated cognitive assessment tool comprised of seven neurocognitive tests including a verbal and visual memory test, a finger tap test, symbol digit coding, the Stroop Test, a shifting attention test, and the continuous performance test. The CNS VS generates scores for the Neurocognitive Index which includes Composite Memory, Psychomotor Speed, Reaction Time, Complex Attention, and Cognitive Flexibility, and for all individual domains.
