The Combined Effects of Tart Cherry Powder and Magnesium L-Threonate Supplementation on Cognitive Function and Sleep Architecture: A Pilot Study in Healthy Adults

Sleep quality and cognitive function are critical to overall health and daily productivity. Sleep disturbances and cognitive decline are interconnected, creating a cycle that exacerbates both issues. Tart cherry (Prunus cerasus) and magnesium L-threonate have been independently studied for their positive effects on sleep and cognitive health. Tart cherry is known to enhance sleep through its high melatonin content, while magnesium L-threonate supports neuroplasticity and cognitive performance. However, the combined effects of these two supplements remain unexplored.
