WORLD-CLASS EXPERTS
Doctors & researchers behind the studies
We recruited Dr. Soyona Rafatjah, an MD with both traditional and holistic medical experience, to be the Principal Investigator of our trial. We then teamed up with innovative Contract Research Organization, The Hawthorne Effect, led by Jodi Akin, to administer the trials. All trials were approved with a third-party Institutional Review Board, Advarra, and were prospectively registered on clinicaltrial.gov.
The participants
70+ completed participants per study
We had 101 participants for our Upset Stomach trial, 79 participants for our Tension Relief trial, and 74 participants for our Immune Support trial. All our participants are healthy adult men and women ages 20-65+ who met our predefined criteria of participation.
The study design
Single-arm observational studies
We ran three-single arm observational studies, which means that we sent participants unbranded products and asked that they take them after a specific trigger. Once they experienced the trigger, they took the product and recorded how their body coped. These studies are foundational and investigative research, which establish a baseline for our products’ performance. The next step for further investment would be to do double blind placebo-controlled studies.
We did the research so we could show you results.

We ran a single-arm observational study on Occasional Heartburn + Indigestion Relief. Participants opted in who met the predefined criteria. They were sent our product (unbranded) and asked to take it after a specific trigger. They recorded how their body coped. These studies are foundational and investigative research, which establish a baseline for product performance.

Age of Participants

We ran a single-arm observational study on Tension Relief. Participants opted in who experience occasional head tension and met the predefined criteria. They were sent our product (unbranded) and asked to take it after a specific trigger. They recorded how their body coped at different time intervals. These studies are foundational and investigative research, which establish a baseline for product performance. The next step for further investment would be double-blind placebo-controlled studies.
