Summary

This study looked at whether taking a dietary supplement for 60 days could improve thinking skills and mood in 75 university students. Participants were split into three groups: two received different supplements, and one got a placebo. Researchers measured changes in self-confidence, stress, anxiety, and depression before, during, and after the study to see if the supplements made a real difference.
