| Cacao Flavanols Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial | PURPOSE: The ergogenic effects of caffeine on cognitive performance are largely restricted to improved alertness and enhanced attention and do not typically extend to other cognitive domains. | 4 | Hearris MA (2026) | Comparable improvements in selective, but not sustained, attention in response to a multi-ingredient nootropic formulation when compared with caffeine. |
| Cacao Flavanols Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial | CONCLUSION: Data demonstrate that the multi-ingredient nootropic displayed comparable improvements in selective attention and executive function to caffeine without the negative impact upon blood pressure and subjective mood. | 4 | Hearris MA (2026) | Comparable improvements in selective, but not sustained, attention in response to a multi-ingredient nootropic formulation when compared with caffeine. |
| Cacao Flavanols Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial | In contrast, plant extracts and phytochemicals exert broader cognitive performance benefits and, when combined together, may provide synergistic effects. | 4 | Hearris MA (2026) | Comparable improvements in selective, but not sustained, attention in response to a multi-ingredient nootropic formulation when compared with caffeine. |
