What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study looks at whether a daily probiotic supplement can help improve mild-to-moderate stomach and digestive symptoms, such as gas and bloating, in women who also experience symptoms commonly associated with hormonal fluctuations. Participants take either the probiotic or a placebo (a look-alike capsule with no active ingredients) once a day for 8 weeks, without knowing which one they are taking. Researchers will compare changes in digestive comfort, sleep, energy, and mood between the two groups over the study period. The study is conducted entirely online, so participants can take part from home.
