Participant has a history of co-existing gastrointestinal, and/or gynaecological, and/or urologic pathology (e.g., colon cancer, colitis, Crohn's Disease, Celiac, Endometriosis, prostate cancer) or lactose intolerance. 15\.

Prohibited medications include: <!-- --> 1. Metformin 2. Anti-psychotic drugs 19. If taking anti-hypertensive drugs, anti-depressive drugs, statins, or any other medication that the investigator determines could impact the results of the study, the participant must have been taking the product for at least 3 months prior to screening.

Individuals who, in the opinion of the investigator, are considered to be poor attendees or unlikely for any reason to be able to comply with the trial. 23\. Participant is currently, or planning, to participate in another interventional study during the study period. 24\. Participants may not be receiving treatment involving experimental drugs. If the participant has been in a recent experimental trial, these must have been completed not less than 30 days prior to this trial. 25\. Individuals who have a history of non-compliance or, in the opinion of the investigator, are considered to be poor attendees or unlikely for any reason to be able to comply with the trial.
