A Clinical Trial to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of AP-Brain on Cognitive Function at Varying Dosages in Healthy Middle-aged and Older Adults With Self-reported Memory Problems

A Randomized, Triple-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel, Proof of Concept Clinical Trial to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of AP-Brain on Cognitive Function at Varying Dosages in Healthy Middle-aged and Older Adults With Self-reported Memory Problems

The goal of this clinical trial is to safety and efficacy of AP-Brain on cognitive function 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 function?

Participants will be asked to consume AP-Brain at 1 g, 3 g, or 5g, or Placebo and asked to complete memory assessment questionnaires.

Change in cognitive function between AP-Brain and placebo based on change from baseline to Day 28 in the following CNS VS measure: Cognitive flexibility assessed via CNS VS test battery. 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.
