Acute beneficial effects of a functional energy shot on cognitive performance and mood states during cognitively demanding task performance: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-con... by Olivia K. O’Shea, Olivia K. O’Shea, Nathan Lawley, Anna Azzopardi, Allison Gutkowski, Michelle Murphy Niedziela, Rachel Horn, David O. Kennedy, Jason Adamson

“…Participants completed cognitive and mood assessments pre-dose, and then 30 minutes post-dose over the course of approximately 2 hours. The functional energy shot contained caffeine, ginseng, vitamins and taurine, while the placebo shot was matched for flavor but did not contain these additional ingredients.ResultsUse of the functional energy shot was associated with significant improvements over placebo in cognitive performance, as measured by the Cognitive Demand Battery, with enhanced global performance, task-specific accuracy and speed across repeated assessments. …”
