Radicle Energy2: A Study of Health and Wellness Products on Fatigue and Other Health Outcomes

This is a parallel group, 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 more energy, (2) have the opportunity for meaningful improvement in their health outcome score, 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 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.
