A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled direct-to-consumer study of health and wellness products on overall health
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted with adult participants, residing in the United States. Eligible participants will (1) endorse a desire for better overall health, (2) have the opportunity for meaningful improvement (at least 30%) in their primary health outcome, and (3) express acceptance in taking a product and not knowing its formulation until the end of the study. Participants that report a known cardiac dysfunction, liver or kidney disease may be excluded. Participants that report a known contraindication or with well-established, significant safety concerns due to illness will be excluded. Heavy drinkers and those who report they are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding will be excluded. Participants that report taking medications with a known contraindication or with well-established, significant safety concerns will be excluded. Self-reported data are collected electronically from eligible participants for 7 weeks. Participant reports of health indicators will be collected at baseline, throughout the active period of study product use, and in a final survey. All study assessments will be electronic; there are no in-person visits or assessments for this real-world evidence study.

Change in overall health Profile
Difference between rates of change over time in overall health score as assessed by Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS) 29+2 Profile (PROPr consists of 7 health domains: physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, pain interference, cognitive function abilities; PROPr t-score score range = -.022 to 1; higher scores indicate greater overall health)
Time frame: 7 weeks
Minimal clinical importance difference (MCID) in overall health-related quality of life
Likelihood of achieving a MCID in digestion-related quality of life, as measured by (PROMIS) 29+2 Profile (PROPr consists of 7 health domains: physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles and activities, pain interference, cognitive function abilities; PROPr t-score score range = -.022 to 1; higher scores indicate greater overall health)
Time frame: 7 weeks
Change in sexual health - female
Difference between rates of change over time in sexual health score as assessed by Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS) Brief Profile Sexual Function and Satisfaction Survey \[female version consists of 8 health domains: interest in sexual activity (score range = 2-10; higher scores indicate greater interest), vaginal lubrication (score range = 2-10; higher scores indicate better lubrication), vaginal discomfort (score range = 2-10; higher scores indicate more discomfort), vaginal discomfort - labial (score range = 1-5; higher scores indicate more discomfort), vaginal discomfort - clitoral (score range = 1-4; higher scores indicate more discomfort), orgasm ability (score range = 1-5; higher scores indicate more ability), orgasm pleasure (score range = 1-5; higher scores indicate more pleasure), satisfaction with sex life (score range = 2-10; higher scores indicate more satisfaction)\]
Time frame: 7 weeks
