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

April 22, 2026 updated by: Rousselot BVBA

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 Younger Adults With Self-reported Attention Problems

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of AP-Brain on cognitive function at varying dosages in healthy younger adults with self-reported attention problems.

The main question it aims to answer is what Change from baseline to Day 56 between AP-Brain (1g, 3g, or 5g) and placebo in cognitive function, as assessed by the CNS VS Neurocognitive Index (NCI) score and complex attention.

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

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.
