The study involves taking a commercially available dietary supplement daily for 45 days. A 45-minute assessment will be conducted at the beginning and again at the end of the study.

Detailed Description

The primary aim of this randomized, single-site pilot study is to evaluate the effects of the oral liquid dietary supplement Axolt (https://axoltbrain.com) on cognitive function in adults aged 55 and older without cognitive impairment, compared to a control group taking a commercially available, hydration powdered drink flavoring, Bolero (https://bolerousa.net) daily for 45 days. The secondary aim is to assess changes in mood and psychological well-being with supplement intake. The study will use validated, low-risk cognitive measures at baseline and at the end of the study to measure change over time. 20 individuals age 55 years and older will be recruited. Sample size for enrollment: (n =8) for the active group and (n=8) in the control group (16 total), accounting for an anticipated 20% drop out rate.
