These findings indicate a positive effect of nut on cognition following only 4-weeks' consumption in a healthy non-elderly sample, as well as upregulation of a microbial taxa associated with gut health. The effects appear to be independent of one another, but further exploration is required in those experiencing cognitive decline and/or gut dysbiosis.The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (identifier: NCT03500601).
