Efficacy of a multi-nutrient dietary supplement on improving decision fatigue in video gamers
Numin is hypothesized to exert neuroprotective effects by improving glutamate re-uptake and protecting against excitotoxic injury, thereby supporting neuronal health and neurotransmission. While direct measures of decision fatigue and cognition did not show statistically significant improvements, these mechanisms may contribute to the observed enhancements in gaming performance and win rates by mitigating the molecular and cellular events underlying cognitive decline under prolonged demands. Our findings indicate that Numin improved video game performance in LoL gamers, suggesting it may support cognitive function during intense tasks. This study highlights the potential application and benefits of such a supplement in individuals undergoing cognitively intense tasks, such as gaming.
