Summary
The current study will explore the impact of seaweed extract on cognitive function following a high-carbohydrate meal at a number of time-points post-consumption.
Detailed description
The current randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel groups study will examine the impact of a brown seaweed extract (InSea2) on cognitive function post-prandially in 60 healthy non-elderly adults who self-report post-meal drowsiness. Computerised measures of episodic memory, attention and subjective state will be completed at baseline and for 3 hours following lunch with either seaweed or placebo consumed 30 minutes prior to a carbohydrate-rich meal.
