Clinical Trial Summary

This is an open-label observational single-group clinical trial to study the efficacy of a commercially available dietary supplement and its effect on common PMS and menstrual symptoms, as well as health-related biomarkers.

Description:

It is hypothesized that the dietary supplement marketed as "YOUR SUPER Moon Balance" will improve subjective wellbeing in trial participants by alleviating common symptoms of PMS and menstrual symptoms, such as pain, cramps, bloating, and lack of energy. Further, the ability of the supplement to reduce biomarkers of inflammation (CRP) and stress (cortisol), and promote sleep, will be evaluated.
