A Study to Examine the Effects of a Daily Supplement on Common Symptoms of Perimenopause and Menopause

Symptoms of perimenopause and menopause can significantly affect overall quality of life. It is hypothesized that daily supplements can reduce the severity of these symptoms. This 12-week clinical trial will examine the effects of Hologram Sciences' Daily Balance Gummy Supplements on symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog. Participants will take the product daily and complete study-specific questionnaires at Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12. Upon conclusion of Week 12, participants will be asked to count how many gummies remain in their jar.
