About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Alii Supplement can be used to reduce symptoms related to nutritional depletion in hormonal birth control pill users. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does usage of the supplement increase happiness, decrease perceived vulnerability to disease, increase digestive health, decrease mood swings, and increase energy?

The investigators will compare the Alii Supplement to a placebo (a capsule that contains no drug) to see if the Alii Supplement works to reduce symptoms associated with nutritional depletion.

Participants will:

Take the placebo or Alii Supplement everyday for 28 days and visit the research office twice to fill out an online survey comprising of items examining the main outcome measures.
