Chronic stress is known to impair emotional regulation and adaptive behavioral responses through neuroinflammatory activation, oxidative imbalance, and dysregulation of neuroplasticity-related genes. Kiperin Mind Focus, a nootropic nutraceutical containing L-theanine, citicoline, phosphatidylserine, Thirty-two adult male Wistar rats were randomized into four groups ( Chronic stress induced anhedonia, anxiety-like behavior, and behavioral despair, accompanied by elevated proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative imbalance, and neuronal degeneration in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. The supplementation significantly improved SPT, OFT, EPM, and FST performance, normalized cytokine and oxidative parameters, and reduced neuronal injury scores. At the molecular level, supplementation attenuated stress-induced upregulation of Kiperin Mind Focus exerted robust neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects under chronic stress, restoring molecular homeostasis and stabilizing stress-related behavioral outcomes. These findings support its role as a stress-buffering and mood-stabilizing supplement, that promotes emotional regulation and adaptive exploratory behavior under prolonged stress conditions. Show less
