RESEARCH

Clinical Study: Clinical Support for Enhanced Mood and Improved Sleep

Vanizem chart and image

Thirty participants, aged 40 to 50 years (44% women) were randomized into a placebo-controlled cross-over study featuring different doses of Vanizem versus a placebo. Vanizem was found to significantly (p<0.05) improve self-reported perceptions of tension, depression, vigor  and total mood disturbance (TMD) score in a dose-dependent manner. Supplementation with Vanizem at doses over 100mg was seen to improve sleep quality scores after just 2 doses versus placebo (p<0.05).
