First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Mayo Clinic study tested whether a dietary supplement called Synaquell™ can affect brain function in 25 youth contact sport athletes. Participants took either the supplement or a placebo twice daily during their sport season. Researchers measured brain activity with EEG and looked at blood markers to see if there were any changes.

Synaquell™ (dietary supplement)
What this could lead to
If it shows positive effects, this could point toward a supplement that helps protect brain health in young athletes who play contact sports.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 25 participants. The results may not be strong enough to prove any real benefit, and dietary supplements often fail to show clear effects in larger trials.
