Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project evaluate effects of a commonly used food supplement on glucose metabolism and cognitive function.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The test product has previously been suggested to elicit beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and cognitive performance. The purpose with this study is to evaluate metabolic effects and effects on mood variables of the test product provided at breakfast. Test variables are determined at fating and postprandial a standardised breakfast. The results are compared with effects after a placebo product.
