简要总结
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline to Day 56 between AP-Brain and placebo in cognitive function, as assessed by the CNS VS Neurocognitive Index (NCI) score
时间窗: Day 0 to 56
Change from baseline to Day 56 between AP-Brain and placebo in cognitive function, 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.
