Menstrual Symptoms

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of once-daily Sodium butyrate (NaBu) on menstrual symptoms in women. The investigators posit that the use of NaBu will reduce menstrual symptoms after taking NaBu for 12 weeks.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a human equivalent lactoferrin supplement (effera®) can improve menstrual symptoms, mood, and quality of life in healthy women aged 18-40. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does effera® reduce the severity of menstrual symptoms? Does effera® improve mood, gastrointestinal symptoms, and overall well-being? Researchers will compare three different doses of effera® to a placebo (a look-alike supplement with no active ingredient) to see if the supplement improves these outcomes. Participants will: Take the assigned supplement (effera® or placebo) daily for 12 weeks Complete online questionnaires about menstrual symptoms, mood, and health Optionally share sleep and activity data from a wearable device
