| Popis: | We previously performed a 4 week interventional trial that suggested that continuous intake of rosemary extract improves the mood states, fatigue, and cognitive function of working generation healthy adult Japanese men. However, the severity of depression in participants in our previous study was relatively mild. Therefore, in the present study, a post-hoc analysis of our previous study was conducted, limited to participants whose total mood disturbance (TMD) scores, which indicate greater mood disturbance, were above the median at baseline, to evaluate whether rosemary extract was effective for individuals with poor mental health. Following the intervention, the scores of TMD and &ldquo Confusion-Bewilderment&rdquo were significantly decreased (both p < 0.05), and scores of &ldquo Vigor-Activity&rdquo were significantly increased in the rosemary group (n = 8) compared with those in the control group (n = 13 p < 0.01). When comparing the scores from pre- and post-intervention, significant improvements in &ldquo Tension-Anxiety&rdquo &ldquo Fatigue on awakening&rdquo Daytime sleepiness&rdquo and &ldquo Psychomotor speed&rdquo were observed in the rosemary group only (all p < 0.05). Based on these results, it was expected that rosemary extracts were effective for improving the mental energy and sleep quality of work-age men with poor mental health. |
