A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial evaluating plant-based health and wellness products on menstrual wellness in premenopausal women
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted with adult participants, residing in the United States.
Eligible participants (1) are female, (2) are premenopausal, (3) have the opportunity for meaningful improvement (at least 30%) in their primary health outcome, and (4) express acceptance in taking study products and not knowing the formulation identities 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 women who 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 13 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.
