What the rows share
From the rowsThe best-graded row, grade C, is a randomized trial of 142 people (2018) and reported mixed results.
Each row reported mixed results on its own, so there is no side to compare. The rows enrolled 10 to 142 people and were published in 2018.
The rows
2 mixed- CGrade CReactive agility in healthy active adults · Mixed
RCT · n 142 · 2018 · Healthy, recreationally active men and women
900 mg/day · 90 days
More hits and faster reaction time on some stationary and multi-directional agility tests at days 7–90 versus placebo; the other agility tests did not differ. Blood safety panels were unchanged.
- DGrade DPhysical and cognitive performance after a sleep-deprived tactical operation · Mixed
RCT · n 10 · 2018 · Members of an elite counter-terrorism unit, sleep deprived for 24 hours
900 mg/day · 17 days
Differences from placebo in jump power, reactive agility, eye-hand coordination and cognition were unclear; self-rated energy was very likely, alertness likely and focus possibly better with the extract.
