Brief summary: A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of health and wellness products on pain and other health outcomes

Detailed description: This is a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study conducted with adult participants, age 21 and older and residing in the United States.

Eligible participants will (1) endorse a desire for less pain, (2) indicate an interest in taking a health and wellness product to potentially help their pain, and (3) express acceptance in taking a product and not knowing its formulation until the end of the study.

Participants with known liver or kidney disease, heavy drinkers, and those who report they are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding will be excluded. Those taking certain medications will be excluded.

Self-reported data are collected electronically from eligible participants over 7 weeks. Participant reports of health indicators will be collected during baseline, throughout the active period of study product use, and in a final survey. All study assessments will be electronic; there are no in-person visits or assessments for this real-world evidence study.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Adults, 21 years of age and older at the time of electronic consent, inclusive of all ethnicities, races, genders and/or gender identities
* Resides in the United States
* Endorses less pain as a primary desire
* Selects pain and/or looking to improve their pain as a reason for their interest in taking a health and wellness product
