Jackfruit oil: the next brain booster for athletes?
NCT ID NCT07268976
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether jackfruit oil extract affects certain brain-related chemicals, thinking skills, and body measurements in healthy young boxers. Thirty male boxers aged 18-25 took different doses of jackfruit oil or no supplement for 30 days. Researchers measured saliva markers and cognitive performance to see if jackfruit had any effect.

- jackfruit oil extract
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement that supports brain function and body composition in athletes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage study in healthy young boxers. Results may not apply to the general public, and the supplement may have no meaningful effect.
