Any use during the trial will result in exclusion from the study. - Active smokers and/or nicotine or drug abuse - Chronic alcohol use (>14 alcoholic drinks week) - Allergic to any of the ingredients in the formula - Pregnant(2) or lactating woman - Females of child bearing potential not using a highly effective form of contraception(3,4) (i.e. methods which result in low failure rate, i.e. less than 1% per year, when used consistently and correctly like the oral contraception pill, birth control implant e.g. implanon(3,4)) - People medically prescribed medications that would affect the immune and/or the inflammatory response (e.g. NSAIDs, steroids, antibiotics). - Any condition which in the opinion of the investigator makes the participant unsuitable for inclusion - Participants who have participated in any other related clinical study during the past 1 month - People with cognitive damage - People who have or have had treatment for cancer, HIV or chronic use of any dose of steroids (cream, tablet or inhalant) in the past year Footnotes 1. An unstable illness is any illness that is currently not being treated with a stable dose of medication or is fluctuating in severity. A serious illness is a condition that carries a risk of mortality, negatively impacts quality of life and daily function and/or is burdensome in symptoms and/or treatments. 2. All female participants of child bearing potential will be required to take a urine pregnancy test prior to entry into the study. 3. Examples of acceptable forms of highly effective contraception include: Established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception; Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS); Sterilised male partner (with the appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of the absence of sperm in the ejaculate); True abstinence: When this is in line with your preferred and usual lifestyle 4. Examples of non-acceptable methods of contraception include: Condoms alone or double barrier; Periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post ovulation); Withdrawal; Spermicide (as it is not approved as a method of contraception in Australia) |

Secondary | Change in stress state | Change in stress as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire. Consists of 10 items with a score range 0-40. Higher scores indicate higher perceived stress. | Week, 0, week 4, week 8 and week 16 | |
Secondary | Change in sleep quality | Change in sleep as measured by the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire. Consists of ten questions pertaining to four consecutive aspects of sleep: getting to sleep (GTS), quality of sleep (QOS), awakening from sleep (AFS), and behaviour following wakefulness (BFW). Higher scores indicate better sleep quality. | Week, 0, week 4, week 8 and week 16 | |
