NCT ID NCT07318077
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests two dietary supplements against a placebo to see if they can reduce belly pain, gas, and bloating in adults. Over 800 participants across the U.S. will take the product daily for 6 weeks without knowing which group they are in. The goal is to find out whether these supplements truly improve digestive health and quality of life.
