Summary

This study will evaluate whether the InTune product system may help support attention, memory, focus, and other thinking skills in healthy adults ages 18-64. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the InTune products or placebo products that look and feel the same but do not contain active ingredients. Participants will use the products throughout their participation in the study and complete a series of cognitive tests and questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study. Researchers will compare changes in memory performance, self-reported mental clarity and focus, product experiences, and any side effects between the two groups.

Interventions

OTHER

Placebo

Aromatic use will entail breathing from a passive nasal aroma stick several times during cognitive testing, as directed by the survey and study staff. The placebo aroma stick will contain 5 drops of benzaldehyde diluted to 1% in fractionated coconut oil on a cotton wick inside a hard plastic casing with a lid. Topical use will entail applying a solid stick to inner arms and chest directly before daily cognitive training. The stick is a moisturizing base (similar to deodorant).
