ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how drinking different types of tea might affect attention, mood, and sleep in healthy adults. Researchers want to find out if drinking black or green tea makes a difference in how people feel and think. They will also explore if other lifestyle factors, like physical activity or work habits, impact these effects. Participants will drink three different types of tea over a 12-week period, with each tea being tested for three weeks. Throughout the study, they will complete short questionnaires and tasks to share how they feel and how well they can focus.

To take part in this study, you need to be an English speaker who regularly uses a computer, tablet, or smartphone. However, individuals with certain medical conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or mood disorders, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, cannot participate. If you join, expect to spend about five to six minutes each day answering questions and doing quick tasks to help researchers understand the effects of tea on your daily life.
