Detailed Description
This is a parallel group, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study conducted with adult participants, age 21 and older and residing in the United States.
Eligible participants will (1) endorse a desire for more energy, (2) have the opportunity for meaningful improvement in their health outcome score, and (3) express acceptance in taking a product and not knowing its formulation until the end of the study.
Participants with known liver or kidney disease, heavy drinkers, and those who report they are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding will be excluded. Those taking certain medications will be excluded.
Self-reported data are collected electronically from eligible participants over 7 weeks. Participant reports of health indicators will be collected at baseline, throughout the active period of study product use, and in a final survey. All study assessments will be electronic; there are no in-person visits or assessments for this real-world evidence study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in fatigue [6 weeks]
Mean difference in fatigue score as assessed by Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS) Fatigue 8A (scale 8-40; where higher scores correspond to more severe fatigue)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in focus (cognitive function) [6 weeks]
Mean difference in focus score as assessed by PROMIS Cognitive Function 4A (scale 4-20; where lower scores correspond to worse cognitive function)
- Change in sleep [6 weeks]
Mean difference in sleep score as assessed by PROMIS Sleep Disturbance 4A (scale 4 to 20; where higher scores correspond to higher levels of sleep disturbance)
- Change in feelings of anxiety [6 weeks]
Mean difference in anxiety score as assessed by PROMIS Anxiety 4A (scale 4-20; where higher scores correspond to greater levels of anxiety)
- Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in fatigue [6 weeks]
Likelihood of experiencing MCID in fatigue score as assessed by PROMIS Fatigue 8A
- Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in focus (cognitive function) [6 weeks]
Likelihood of experiencing MCID in focus score as assessed by PROMIS Cognitive Function 4A
- Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in sleep [6 weeks]
Likelihood of experiencing MCID in sleep score as assessed by PROMIS Sleep Disturbance 4A
- Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in feelings of anxiety [6 weeks]
Likelihood of experiencing MCID in anxiety score as assessed by PROMIS Anxiety 4A
Other Outcome Measures
- Change in mood (emotional distress-depression) [6 weeks]
Mean difference in emotional distress score as assessed by PROMIS Emotional Distress- Depression 4A (scale 4-20; with higher scores corresponding to greater levels of emotional distress)
- Change in libido [6 weeks]
Mean difference in libido score as assessed by PROMIS Sexual Interest 2.0 (scale 2-10; with higher scores corresponding to greater interest in sexual activity)
