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.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a personalized nutritional drink to help athletes sleep better and recover faster.
- What could go wrong
