Heavy drinkers and those who report they are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding will be excluded. Participants that report taking medications with a known contraindication or with well-established, significant safety concerns will be excluded.
Self-reported data are collected electronically from eligible participants for 12 weeks. Participant reports of health indicators will be collected at enrollment and throughout the active period of study product usage.
