Mushroom supplement to slow memory decline in at-risk adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether eating mushrooms regularly can help prevent memory loss in people who are at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease but do not have dementia. If you are between 45 and 80, have some memory concerns, and currently eat mushrooms rarely, this study may be a good fit.

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.
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.
This trial tests whether taking a silkworm pupa powder supplement can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. You'd take the powder by mouth daily, and researchers will monitor your progress over time.
This trial tests whether a daily supplement made from a natural algae called astaxanthin can help keep your memory sharp as you age. It is for older adults who have mild forgetfulness but are otherwise healthy.
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.
