This is a fully remote, 8-week research study looking at how a daily probiotic and Ahiflower seed oil supplement affects gastrointestinal comfort and general well-being in women. Your participation helps build real-world evidence on how the product performs for women who experience these symptoms.
You'll take a daily capsule and complete a short weekly diary about your digestion, plus fuller check-ins on your GI symptoms, well-being, sleep, and energy at baseline, Week 4, and Week 8. A brief skin selfie is captured at baseline and Week 8. Everything happens through the Alethios app, no clinic visits required, and the study team checks in through the platform to support you along the way.
Answer a short set of screening questions, including a validated GI symptom scale, to confirm you qualify, then review and sign your consent electronically through the Alethios platform.
Fill out baseline questionnaires on GI symptoms, well-being, sleep, and fatigue through the Alethios app, complete your first skin health selfie, and take your first daily capsule.
Take one capsule a day for 8 weeks and log a brief weekly bowel habit diary. At Week 4, complete a fuller check-in on your GI symptoms, well-being, sleep, fatigue, and product experience.
At Week 8, complete your final questionnaires, product experience survey, and skin health selfie. You'll then receive milestone compensation of $20 at baseline, $20 at Week 4, and $60 at Week 8, up to $100 total.
This probiotic blend has been studied for its effects on gut bacteria and bowel habits, and some of its individual strains have shown promise for hormone-related and skin outcomes in small studies. What's less well understood is how it performs for gas and bloating specifically in women who experience these symptoms regularly. This study tracks that using validated symptom scales alongside measures of well-being, sleep, fatigue, and skin appearance, over 8 weeks of daily use.
