The researchers also subjected the subjects to a test in which, after seeing symbols appearing on a screen, they had to click a button for a longer period of time. This test measures the ability to remain focused for a prolonged time. Supplementation with mangiferin improved scores on this test as well.
Conclusion
"These benefits were seen most strikingly in terms of participants' improved attention and long-term memory task performance and in their extended performance of cognitively demanding tasks, including those requiring executive function resources."
