Abstract in brief

  • The study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled experiment testing the immediate effects of different doses of guaran extract on mood and cognition in humans.
  • Results showed that guaran improved memory and made participants feel more alert and content, with lower doses (75 mg and 150 mg) having more positive effects than higher doses.
  • The findings indicate that these cognitive and mood benefits are likely due to guaran itself, not just caffeine, and this is the first study to compare different doses of guaran in humans.]
