Hydrate Heroes for Improving Brain Function & Mood

This 12-week study, called "Hydrate Heroes for Improving Brain Function & Mood," is looking for 48 healthy adults aged 18 to 65 to see if a daily dietary supplement called Hydrate Heroes can improve brain activity, mood, and mental performance. You would be given either 3 or 6 packets of Hydrate Heroes to use daily. Researchers will measure changes in your brainwaves (using EEG, or electroencephalography), physical responses, and your own reports of how you feel. The goal is to see if Hydrate Heroes has a meaningful effect on mental and brain health. The study's current status is unclear.

Study design: This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 48 participants.
What's involved: You would need to attend three in-person study visits over about 12 weeks. During these visits, you'll wear a headset to measure brain activity and a wristband for other physical data, and complete various tasks on an iPad.
Compensation: Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up: Brain activity and other measures will be taken at 12 weeks, which is the end of the study period.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Age between 18 and 65 years at time of consent.

Fluent in English (able to read, write, speak, and understand English).

Generally healthy, without chronic medical conditions (see Exclusion 10.3).

Willing and able to attend three in-person study visits over an approximate 12-week period (enrollment, \~6 weeks, \~12 weeks).

Willing to consume assigned Hydrate Heroes packets as directed (6 sticks/day, 3 sticks/day, or no supplement for control).

Willing to log daily water intake and number of Hydrate Heroes packets consumed in the study's online tracking system.

Capable of providing informed consent.

Exclusion

Neurological or Psychiatric Conditions

History of epilepsy, recurrent seizures, severe head injury, or other significant neurological disorders.

Current diagnosis of major psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe major depressive disorder).

Chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, or any condition requiring medically supervised fluid restriction.

Documented electrolyte imbalance (e.g., hyponatremia, hypokalemia) within the past 6 months.

Medication and Supplement Conflicts

Use of medications known to alter EEG readings (e.g., benzodiazepines, antiepileptics, antipsychotics).

Use of high-dose diuretics or other drugs that substantially affect hydration status.

Concurrent use of any supplements containing one or more key ingredients of Hydrate Heroes - adaptogenic mushroom blends, magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin D₃, vitamin C (including Amla), electrolytes, or elderberry - that cannot be safely discontinued for the 12-week study duration.

Reproductive Status

Pregnant or currently breastfeeding.

Compliance Risk

Inability or unwillingness to reliably follow the hydration/supplement protocol or complete daily logging.

Inability to attend scheduled visits or follow instructions.

What this trial measures

Electroencephalography - Frequencies12 weeks
Measurement of brain electrical activity. Measures will include power band analysis (e.g., delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma) summed over activities and comparisons made between groups (i.e. ratios).
Electroencephalography - ERP Amplitude12 weeks
Measurement of brain electrical activity. Event-related potentials will be determined from events that occur during the activities. Differences in P300 amplitude will be determined (uV).
Electroencephalograpy - ERP Latency12 weeks
Measurement of brain electrical activity. Event-related potentials will be determined from events that occur during the activities. Differences of P300 latency will be determined between groups (msec).
