NCT ID NCT07190989

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed trial tested a special juice blend containing cherry, cocoa, and other nutrients to see if it could improve sleep in 15 healthy young football players. Each athlete tried the supplement and a placebo at different times, and their sleep was tracked with activity monitors. The goal was to see if the drink helps people sleep longer and better, and whether the effects vary from person to person.
