Summary:
The current study focuses in clinical validation of the efficacy of nutraceutical product in the management of mental focus and cognition. The benefits of these nutraceuticals extend beyond mere cognitive enhancement. Improved mental focus can lead to increased productivity and efficiency in both personal and professional settings. Individuals who struggle with attention deficits or cognitive fog may find that these supplements help them maintain a sharper and more consistent level of mental clarity. This can translate to better performance at work, as well as improved ability to manage daily tasks and responsibilities.

Primary Outcome Measures: Perceived Stress Scale, The PSS-10 is widely used for measuring psychological distress. It contains 10 questions on a five-point scale from 0 to 4. The higher the score, the greater the feeling of stress. PSS-10 Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress., Screening Baseline day 15 day 30 day 60|Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) MoCA was a questionnaire performed preoperative then post-operative. The MoCA used in this study was developed by Professor Nasreddine in 2004 and is used for the rapid screening assessment of mild cognitive impairment. The cognitive areas assessed by MoCA included attention and concentration, executive function, memory, language, visual structure skills, abstract thinking, calculation and orientation. The scale had a total score of 30 points. ≥26 points were considered as having no cognitive impairment ., Screening, baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT), The RCFT 'copy' is a validated, instrument assessing visuo-constructive abilities. The RCFT 'copy' requires the subject to observe and replicate an image. The score is scored as 0, 0.5, 1 or 2 for each of the 18 factors. Point 2 is when the shape and position of the element is accurately drawn, point 1 is when one of the shape or position is correct. Point 0.5 is when both the shape and position are incorrect, but the examinee can determine what the subject was trying to draw, and point 0 is the case when the shape and position difference are both inadequate, and when the element is not drawn. The total score is the sum of the scores scored for each of the 18 elements; It is possible scores range from 0 to 36(Higher numbers indicate better)., Screening, baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Change in Trail Making Test (TMT) Between Baseline and End of Treatment, Results for both TMT A and B are reported as the number of seconds required to complete the task; therefore, higher scores reveal greater impairment. The reduction in the number of seconds the patients take to make the test after the study treatment means an improvement in cognitive functions., Screening, baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Memory performance assessed using digit span memory test, Digit Span Forward requires the Participant to repeat numbers in the same order as read aloud by the examiner, and Digit Span Backward requires the child to repeat the numbers in the reverse order of that presented by the examiner., Screening, baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|fatigue severity scale (FSS), The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a self-reported measure of fatigue and sleep disturbance in patients with fibromyalgia. It is a 9-item scale that assesses the severity of fatigue, the impact of fatigue on daily activities, and the degree of sleep disturbance. The FSS is a widely used instrument in research and clinical practice, and has been found to be a valid and reliable measure of fatigue and sleep disturbance in patients with fatigue and sleep disorders. The FSS items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from "not at all" to "extremely." The total score ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating greater levels of fatigue and sleep disturbance., Screening, baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|mental chatter 5-point scale, Grading will be assessed on a 5-point ordinal scale. Score assessment according to the following- 1-High mental chatter, 2-Moderate mental chatter, 3-Less but frequent mental chatter, 4-less and rare mental chatter, 5-no mental chatter., Screening, baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Epworth Sleepiness Scale, How likely is the participant to doze off or fall asleep in the following situations? You should rate their chances of dozing off, not just feeling tired. Even if the participant has not done some of these things recently try to determine how it would have affected them. For each situation, decide whether or not the participant would have: · No chance of dozing =0 · Slight chance of dozing =1 · Moderate chance of dozing =2 · High chance of dozing =3 Write down the number corresponding to the choice in the right hand column.

Interpretation: 0-7: It is unlikely that the participant is abnormally sleepy; 8-9: The participant has an average amount of daytime sleepiness; 10-15: The participant may be excessively sleepy depending on the situation. The participant may want to consider seeking medical attention; 16-24: The participant is excessively sleepy and should consider seeking medical attention., Screening, baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), The ASRS is an 18-item self-report screening scale used to assess adult ADHD. Each ASRS item contains a five-point scale where participants indicate how frequently they conduct themselves in the described manner; item responses can range from 'Never' to 'Very Often', where responses of 'Often' or 'Very Often' are consistent with ADHD typical dysfunction. When participant responses meet the criterion for ADHD typical dysfunction on at least 4 out of 6 screener items (denoted as 'Part A'), said participant will meet inclusion for the study. The remaining 12 ASRS items ('Part B') will be administered for use in the event that the screener criteria are met, and thus a need for further psychometric gradation arises., Screening, baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|COPE Questionnaire, Problem-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aimed at changing the stressful situation. High scores are indicative of psychological strength, grit, a practical approach to problem solving and is predictive of positive outcomes.

Emotion-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aiming to regulate emotions associated with the stressful situation. High or low scores are not uniformly associated with psychological health or ill health, but can be used to inform a wider formulation of the respondent's coping styles.

Avoidant Coping: A high score indicates physical or cognitive efforts to disengage from the stressor. Low scores are typically indicative of adaptive coping., Screening, day 60|STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), STAI: State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory-Score This test consists of 20 items and assesses the current state of anxiety in relation to the current situation in which the patient is to the current situation in which the patient finds herself (State Anxiety) and the general anxiety state existing state of anxiety, which represents a part of her personality (Trait Anxiety).

The sum score has a range from 20-80. Its interpretation with respective score are discussed below:

mild anxiety (20 to 39); moderate anxiety (40 to 59); intense anxiety (60 to 80)., Screening, day 60|Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire, The Profile of Mood States (POMS) is a widely used instrument that measures mood using a 40 item questionnaire with each item rated using a response scale of five categories ranging from "not at all" to "Extremely". Higher score indicates worse mood. Total POMS score categories and stress inference:0-40 = A little; 81-120= Quite a lot; 41-80= Moderately; 121-160= Extremely., Screening, day 60|Serum cortisol levels, The cortisol secretion will be evaluated by measuring morning serum cortisol levels., Screening, day 15 and day 60|ANTI-Vea-UGR computerized test, The Attentional Networks Test for Interactions and Vigilance-executive and arousal components (ANTI-Vea) is a computerized task. The task simultaneously assesses the main effects and interactions of the three attentional networks (i.e., phasic alertness, orienting, and executive control) and two dissociated components of vigilance with reasonable reliability (executive and arousal vigilance)., 0 hours, 1 hours, 4 hours and 8 hours after dosing at day 1 and day 60
Secondary Outcome Measures: Safety of participant assessed using adverse events., It is measure in terms of No. of events., Baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Safety of participant Assessed using treatment compliance and tolerability of investigational product, It is measure in terms of percentage, Baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Systolic blood pressure difference from reference measurement (mmHg), Assessed against standard clinical grade instrument: automated oscillometric blood pressure device (mmHg, Baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Diastolic blood pressure difference from reference measurement (mmHg), Assessed against standard clinical grade instrument: automated oscillometric blood pressure device (mmHg), Baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Pulse rate difference from reference measurement (beats per minute), Assessed against standard clinical grade instrument: Finger-based pulse oximeter (beats per minute), Baseline, day 15, day 30, day 60|Complete blood count, White blood cell and platelet count \[Thousand per microliter (Thousand/uL)\] Red blood cell count \[Millions per microliter (million/uL)\], Screening and day 60|Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT), Blood level of SGPT was measured.
