[Effect of an energy stimulator on the performance of a group of young people: evaluation by a video-game test].

Abstract

19 adolescents (age 10-16 years) have been tested with respect to their ability to solve a video-game, before and after a three week supplementation with a mixture of sugars + vitamins + carnitine (New-Gen). The validity of such a test has been previously compared with the classical Wechsler-Bellevue Scale. A good correlation was calculated with all the Weschsler items, not related with the cultural-linguistic status. The supplementation of the normal diet with New-Gen was accompanied by a marked improvement of the ability (time and number of trials) to solve the video-game test.
