Study Evaluating the Quality and Effects of Lion's Mane Product on Cognitive Health
Sponsor: M2 Ingredients
Summary
The rationale for this study is to observe differences in cognitive health outcomes such as short term memory and simple reaction time between a consumer-grade and commercially available Lion's mane mushroom product and a placebo control group. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate the impact of the product on cognitive function, mood, focus, motivation, sleep quality, and stress. A consumer-driven, decentralized observational clinical research study is therefore well-suited for evaluating the impact of this product in this population. The study will evaluate cognitive health outcomes in a broad age-range of adults who have chosen to try this product. The study will incorporate memory and cognitive function tests, participant reported outcome questionnaires and surveys. There is no "doctor-patient" relationship as part of this research since the participant as a consumer is making the informed choice to take the product and participate in the observational process with self-reported measures that can be done at home. Findings from this study will contribute knowledge toward the functional mushrooms and cognitive health and the design of future studies.
