WCCE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Whole coffee cherry extractActive Control1 Intervention
Whole coffee cherry extract (WCCE; otherwise known as the generally-recognized-as-safe (GRAS) supplement Neurofactor(TM)), is a proprietary, safe, powdered extract of whole coffee cherries from coffea arabica with high levels of polyphenols and substantially low (<2%; <4mg) levels of caffeine. The only content of the supplement is WCCE - there are no excipients, binders, or flow agents, nor are there any other materials. The coffee cherry is subjected to a food-grade water ethanol extraction; thus, after extraction, only 100% coffee-based components remain. 200mg of WCCE will be administered daily for 28 days.
Group II: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
The placebo will be a simple microcellulose, which is generally-recognized-as-safe (GRAS) and commonly used in food products.
