First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a dietary supplement called Bloat can reduce gas and bloating after meals in healthy women aged 18-65. One hundred participants will take either Bloat or a placebo and report their symptoms. The goal is to see if Bloat provides real relief compared to a dummy pill.
