Based on the current research findings, some dietary supplements may have certain improvement effects on cognitive and memory functions. However, further scientific research and clinical trials are needed to ascertain the reliability of these effects and elucidate their specific mechanisms. In this clinical study, a formula beverage containing a high dose of fish roe, snow fungus, and yeast was used. It was found that the consumption of this beverage led to improvements in cognitive functions, memory, and emotional well-being.Fish roe may potentially affect cognition, memory, mood, and anxiety symptoms. Fish roe is a nutrient-rich food that contains various substances, such as omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 [The fish roe in this trial product contained higher DNA contents (31.06 mg/mL). Salmon-roe DNA has been reported to improve brain function in mice [The relationship between plant-based foods and cognitive function is also a focus of attention. Plant-based foods, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts, also contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is a type of omega-3 fatty acid. Studies have shown that ALA may contribute to cognitive health [Yeast and fermentation are necessary processes involved in the making of food. Yeast is a single-celled fungus that plays a central role in the fermentation process. During fermentation, yeast converts sugars and carbohydrates in food into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This process is widely used in the production of food and beverages, contributing to the creation of a wide variety of products. Fermented plant-based foods, such as fermented vegetables and fruits, play a crucial role in human nutrition by providing vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other essential nutrients. The effects of supplementation with Lactobacillus helveticus IDCC3801-mediated fermented milk (LHFM) on cognitive function in healthy older adults were studied in subjects who received supplements with different concentrations of LHFM for 12 weeks [
