About this study

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study conducted with adult participants, age 21 and older and residing in the United States.

Eligible participants will (1) endorse a desire for less anxiety or stress, (2) indicate an interest in taking a health and wellness product to potentially help their feelings of anxiety or stress, and (3) express acceptance in taking a product and not knowing its formulation until the end of the study.

Participants with known liver or kidney disease, heavy drinkers, and those who report they are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding will be excluded. Those taking certain medications will be excluded.

Self-reported data are collected electronically from eligible participants over 7 weeks. Participant reports of health indicators will be collected during 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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in feelings of anxiety

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Mean difference in feelings of anxiety score as assessed by Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS) Anxiety 8A (scale 8-40; where lower scores correspond to less feelings of anxiety)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in stress

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Mean difference in stress score as assessed by National Institutes of Health (NIH) Toolbox Perceived Stress Survey (scale 10-50; where lower scores correspond to less stress)

  2. Change in cognitive function

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Mean difference in cognitive function score as assessed by PROMIS Cognition Function 4A (scale 4-20; where lower scores correspond to poorer cognitive function)

  3. Change in sleep

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Mean difference in sleep score as assessed by PROMIS Sleep Disturbance 4A (scale 4-20; where lower scores correspond to better sleep quality/less sleep disturbance)

  4. Change in mood (emotional distress)

    Mean difference in mood score as assessed by PROMIS Emotional Distress-Depression 4A (scale 4-20; where lower scores correspond to lower levels of emotional distress)

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Mean difference in libido score as assessed by PROMIS Sexual Interest 2.0 (scale 2-10; where lower scores correspond to less interest in sexual activity)
