Sponsor:

Zenji, member c.

Brief 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. It is hypothesized that the dietary supplement marketed as "Elix Cycle Balance" will improve subjective wellbeing in trial participants by alleviating common symptoms of PMS and menstrual symptoms, such as cramps, bloating, and mood swings. A total of 65 participants will be recruited for the trial following screening, with the expectation that at least 50 participants will complete the trial. The trial will be fully remote, a technology platform will be utilized to screen, enroll and capture study data of the participants. The total intervention study period will be 3 months.
