Brief summary: This is a single center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study to determine the acute effect of a developmental dietary supplement liquid shot product on cognitive task performance and perceived effect measures related to mood and mental energy. The study will be conducted in healthy participants.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

MAIN INCLUSION CRITERIA:

1. Participants must be willing to abstain from alcohol, caffeine and exercise starting from the night before each session.
2. Participants that, on average, consume between 200 and 500 mgs of caffeine per day.
3. Participants that are in good physical and mental health.
4. Participants that are willing to come in-person and be within less than 6 feet of study staff for a short period of time.
5. Participants that are able to provide written informed consent to participate in the study and will have agreed to abide by the study restrictions, requirements and protocol.
6. Participants must, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator (or designee), demonstrate the ability to comprehend the informed consent form (ICF), be able to communicate well with the Investigator, understand and comply with the requirements of the study, and be judged suitable for the study.
7. Participants must be available to complete the study.
8. Participants must be willing to consume a normal-sized meal (participant responsible for obtaining or preparing the meal) at least one hour prior to the start of the study session and then fast from food and beverage consumption (except water), for one hour prior to each research session.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Participants that are not US citizens or are residents of California.
2. Participants that have a medical condition, including but not limited to heartbeat/rhythm irregularities, past heart attacks, been diagnosed with heart disease, seizure disorder, liver condition, blood clotting disorder, endocrine-related medical diagnosis (such as diabetes, thyroid, etc.), serious health condition (i.e. cancer, etc.), blindness, gastrointestinal sensitivity/condition, depression, insomnia, anxiety, hypertension, PKU (Phenylketonuria), Celiac disease or deafness. If a participant has any other medical condition or metabolic condition that prevents them from being able to fast for one hour, they will not be allowed to participate in this study.
3. Participants that have a loss of taste or smell or are currently suffering from a virus/infection that affects their ability to taste or smell.
4. Participants that are left-handed, have dyscalculia, have paralysis which effects the upper body, or are color-blind, as this could impact their ability to complete the cognitive tasks.
5. Participants that use recreational drugs or that are currently taking medication (except for a contraceptive), or other drugs including non-prescription (over the counter) medications, pseudoephedrine, non-prescription painkillers such as paracetamol (acetaminophen), ibuprofen or aspirin.
6. Participants that are taking green tea extract or any diet medications, appetite suppressors or supplements (including, but not limited to, fitness supplements containing green tea extract and caffeine, and workout supplements that are intended to assist with weight loss (such as phentermine)).
7. Participants that are pregnant, breastfeeding (or pumping/expressing) or intend to become pregnant in the next six months.
