Study summary

This is a virtual, open-label, single-group study that will last 4 menstrual cycles. All participants will complete a questionnaire at the end of their first period after enrolling (baseline/non-intervention cycle 1), then proceed to take the product daily and complete questionnaires at the end of their next 3 periods (intervention cycles 1, 2, and 3). The study will involve 30 female participants with regular menstrual cycles who experience PMS.

Questionnaires will be used to monitor menstrual pain/cramps, energy levels, mood, and hormonal acne experienced before and during the menstrual cycle. Likert scale responses will be statistically compared from baseline to each check-in. Participant responses on product feedback will be presented as % scores.
