Study summary

Women often experience significant pain during their periods which can significantly impact on quality of life. In this study, two products that are used to alleviate period pain will be examined. One test product is botanically based, and the other is a traditional over-the-counter pain reliever with additional components added to support less painful periods. The trial will be a cross-over trial where participants will use the botanical product before, during, and after their first period. Participants will use the botanical product alongside a traditional over-the-counter period product during their second period. Participants will answer surveys and have blood drawn at a third-party lab to answer the main objectives of this trial.
