Our Clinical Studies
We invested in a clinical trial with Auburn University to quantify the impact of Essential for Women 18+. One key finding includes an increase in vitamin D3 levels by 43%, significantly greater than placebo.¹* The study results are published in Frontiers in Nutrition.
1-Based on a 12 week double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled clinical study that was carried out on 94 women ages 21 to 40 years old
In partnership with Brooklyn College CUNY, scientists completed a clinical trial during pregnancy to quantify the impact of Essential Prenatal—making it the only leading prenatal multivitamin supported by its own clinical trial. One insight was that Moms taking Essential Prenatal maintained adequate folate levels throughout pregnancy. It also resulted in less unmetabolized folic acid in mom’s blood and the placenta compared to those taking a leading prenatal with folic acid, indicating more efficient folate utilization.²* The study results are published in Frontiers in Nutrition.
2-Based on a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial on 62 second and third trimester pregnant women
In partnership with Brooklyn College CUNY, scientists completed a clinical study over 10 weeks to quantify the impact of Essential Postnatal, which is now clinically proven to improve breast milk quality and support mom’s nutrient demands. Maternal blood and breast milk samples showed that Moms taking Essential Postnatal had increased levels of three key components of breast milk compared to the placebo, including Biotin, Omega-3 DHA, and 3-FL (a prebiotic HMO that supports early gut microbiome development). Mom’s taking Essential Postnatal also had more Biotin and more total Folate in their blood than the placebo.³*
3-Based on a 10-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on 64 breastfeeding women
We quantified the impact of our HyaCera™ on skin smoothness in partnership with Princeton Consumer Research (PCR). A key finding includes a 356% reduction in crow’s feet wrinkles, compared to placebo.⁴* The results are published in Dermatology and Therapy.
4-Based on a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study on 63 women and men ages 26 to 64 years old
We partnered with Exeter University to study the impact of our Sleep BioSeries™ Melatonin. We found (along with other results) Sleep BioSeries™ Melatonin optimized melatonin release throughout the night for a better sleep-wake cycle.⁵,⁶*
5-Compared to placebo, based on a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled pharmacokinetic crossover study of Sleep BioSeries™ Melatonin among 10 adults ages 18-31 with reported sleep difficulty
6-Compared to placebo, based on a 2-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover clinical study of Sleep BioSeries™ Melatonin among 12 adults ages 18-31 with reported sleep difficulty
