The purpose of the present study is to investigate the impact of a natural dietary supplement, Inno Cleanseâ„¢, to reduce bloating in a population of otherwise healthy men and women, who claim to feel frequently bloated. Inno CleanseTM dietary supplement is manufactured in the United States under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and is marketed by InnoSupps as a digestive health aid. It is sold in the United States on the company's website, Amazon, and in many large retail outlets. It remains a very popular product, with close to 1.4 million units sold since 2020, with a reported 66,000 units sold in the past three months. Despite the prevalence of dietary supplements identifying as digestive aids, detoxification, and cleanses, very little research has been done to determine their effectiveness. The product appears to be well-designed, with multiple ingredients included which have scientific evidence of effectiveness. That said, and despite the overall positive reviews, there is no known clinical research to support the product's effectiveness. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Inno Cleanse product to reduce bloating and result in other positive outcomes (weight loss). This study will be run as a double-blind placebo-controlled trial, in which subjects will use the product or placebo for two weeks. It is hypothesized that treatment with the dietary supplement Inno Cleanse will result in reduced bloating, as evidenced by self-reported reductions in bloating and hunger, as well as moderate weight loss and a reduction in body circumference measures due to the reduced bloating. In addition, multiple anecdotal reports of improved skin health have been noted in those using the product. Additionally, routine blood and urine sample analysis will be performed as a secondary outcome, as a safety measure.
