Brain booster? 'Think Tank' supplement put to the test against stress
NCT ID NCT07319117
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a nutritional supplement called 'Think Tank' can improve thinking and memory in middle-aged women after they experience stress. Forty healthy women aged 40-60 will take either the supplement or a placebo and then complete cognitive tests. The goal is to see if the supplement helps with focus, memory, and mental flexibility when under pressure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Skoshify 'Think Tank' nutritional formulation (magnesium, creatine, L-tyrosine, L-theanine, citicoline, rhodiola rosea, phosphatidylserine)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement that helps people stay sharp and focused during stressful situations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 healthy women, so results may not apply to everyone. The effects are measured over a short time, and supplements often show limited benefits in larger studies.
