Study of gut health and plant nutrients for brain health
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a natural plant compound can help support memory and thinking in people at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease. You may qualify if you are over 50, overweight, eat a typical Western diet, and have a family history of Alzheimer's.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older
- You are overweight (BMI 25 or higher)
- You have a parent, sibling, or child with Alzheimer's disease
- You eat a typical Western diet (high in meat, processed foods, and refined carbs)
- You do not have memory problems now

This study tests whether eating more polyphenols (natural compounds in plants) can protect brain health in people at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease, especially if they currently eat a typical Western diet. Participants will be followed over time to see if changes in diet affect thinking and memory.
This study looks at how a probiotic supplement affects the gut and thinking in older adults, including those with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's. It may help explain if improving gut health can support brain health.
This study tests whether taking a specific probiotic (a beneficial bacteria) can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment who show signs of amyloid in the brain. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to receive either the probiotic or a placebo (a dummy pill) to see if it helps.
This study tests whether a daily probiotic milk drink can improve gut and brain health in older adults with Alzheimer's or related dementias, and their caregivers. Participants will drink the probiotic or a placebo for a period, and the researchers will look at changes in health.
This study tests whether a special drink containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs, a type of fat) and B vitamins can help support memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You would take the drink daily for 18 months and have regular check-ins including memory tests.
This trial tests whether a nutritional supplement can help slow or improve memory loss in older adults who have mild cognitive decline (noticeable changes in thinking skills that are not yet dementia). You will take a daily supplement and attend regular check-ups.
