Epub 2018 Jan 9. Spearmint Extract Improves Working Memory in Men and Women with Age-Associated Memory Impairment.

Author information 1 Kemin Foods, LC, Des Moines, IA. So the main author of the study works at Kemin foods. And Kemin foods sells spearmint supplements for humans. Higher dose than 900mg was never tested, so the real safety can not be known, if one consumes 900mg/day spearmint daily for years or lifetime.

When you read research at Pubmed, I recommend checking at least these:

1) Journal. Impact factor of the journal? Where can we see that? Other ways to check reliability of journal?

2) Author information. If the main author working at a company selling spearmint supplements?
