| To assess the efficacy of the Investigational Product (IP) on perceived immune system as assessed by Immune System Questionnaire (ISQ) | The ISQ has seven questions. The sum score is calculated. Interpretation: 0 = very poor and 10= excellent perceived immune status. | Day 0, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 90 |
| To assess the efficacy of the Investigational Product on Physical energy as assessed by energy VAS | The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no energy') and 10 ('most energetic') | Day 0, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 90 |
| To assess the efficacy of the Investigational Product on Fatigue level as assessed by Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) | The FSS is a self-administered questionnaire with 9 items (questions) investigating the severity of fatigue in different situations during the past week. Grading of each item ranges from 1 to 7, where 1 indicates strong disagreement and 7 indicates strong agreement, and the final score represents the mean value of the 9 items. | Day 0, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 90 |
| To assess the efficacy of the Investigational Product on Sleep as assessed by Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index | In scoring the PSQI, seven component scores are derived, each scored 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The component scores are summed to produce a global score (range 0 to 21). Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality. | Day 0, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60 and Day 90 |
| To assess the efficacy of the Investigational product on Stress perception as assessed by the Cohen Perceived Stress score | Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress.
