Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a dietary supplement can affect gene expression and serum protein markers in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Take one supplement capsule in the morning and one in the evening every day for 12 weeks
- Attend three study visits in which they provide blood and urine samples, and undergo anthropometric measurements
- Complete surveys and subjective health assessments

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Gene expression
Gene expression analysis refers to a genome-wide quantification of methylation. EPIC850k array will be used for methylation analysis. This represents approximately 900,000 gene locations. The main feature performed is a differential methylation analysis to determine what has significantly changed from one time point to another. The changes will be evaluated before and after treatment with the study supplement for 6 weeks.
6 weeks
Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) (%)
Change in blood HbA1c value before and after 12 weeks of treatment with the study supplement.
12 weeks

Study Arms (1)
Dietary supplement
EXPERIMENTALParticipants take two capsules of the dietary supplement (one capsule in the morning and one in the evening) every day for 12 weeks.
Interventions
The supplement contains OEA, ginger extract, and lavender essential oil as its active ingredients.
