This is a remote research study looking at whether a standardized ginger supplement can support menstrual comfort and overall period wellness. You'll track your cycles from home and share how you feel through short online surveys. Your participation helps researchers learn more about natural approaches to menstrual health.
You'll take capsules twice a day across two menstrual cycles, after one baseline cycle with no product. Throughout the study, you complete short online surveys at scheduled times, join virtual check-ins, and share data from a wearable device you already own. Everything is done from home, with no clinic visits.
Answer a few quick questions online to see if you may be a good fit. If eligible, you'll give your informed consent before any study steps begin.
All participants track their first menstrual cycle without taking any product, and then are assigned to receive either a placebo or the study intervention. This helps the study team understand your usual pattern before the supplement starts.
You take two capsules a day (one morning, one evening) across two menstrual cycles, completing short online surveys at scheduled times and sharing your wearable data.
You finish your final surveys about your experience. After completing your study activities, you may receive compensation for your time.
The study compares a standardized ginger extract supplement to a placebo to see how menstrual pain, period symptoms, and quality of life change over time. Researchers measure things like pain level and duration, common period symptoms, and how you feel day to day. This helps build a better understanding of how natural ingredients may support menstrual wellness.
