About this trial
The current study focuses on clinical validation of efficacy of nutraceutical product in relieving stress and functional dyspepsia symptoms in adults for gut health. The effect of these nutraceuticals not only targets the physical symptoms but also enhances overall well-being. Improved digestive health leads to better nutrient absorption, which is essential for energy levels and immune function. Reduced stress levels contribute to better sleep quality, cognitive function, and emotional stability.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Perceived Stress Scale
The PSS-10 is widely used for measuring psychological distress. It contains 10 questions on a five-point scale from 0 to 4. The higher the score, the greater the feeling of stress. PSS-10 Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.
Short Form of Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SF-NDI)
The SF-NDI consists of 10 questions regarding the effects of dyspepsia symptoms ("stomach problems") on different aspects of life (tension, interference with daily activities, eating/drinking, knowledge/control, and work/study). Each response can be from 1 (not at all affected) to 5 (extremely affected), or 0 (N/A), for a total summed score out of 50. The total score gives an overall measure of the impact of dyspepsia on the individual, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms or greater impairment in quality of life due to dyspepsia.
COPE Questionnaire
Problem-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aimed at changing the stressful situation. High scores are indicative of psychological strength, grit, a practical approach to problem solving and is predictive of positive outcomes. Emotion-Focused Coping: A high score indicates coping strategies that are aiming to regulate emotions associated with the stressful situation. High or low scores are not uniformly associated with psychological health or ill health, but can be used to inform a wider formulation of the respondent's coping styles. Avoidant Coping: A high score indicates physical or cognitive efforts to disengage from the stressor. Low scores are typically indicative of adaptive coping.
Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS)
The GSRS contains 15 items. All individual items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = not at all to 7 = extremely) and are subsequently clustered into five domains (abdominal pain, reflux, indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation); higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.
