Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if natural supplements (lavender oil, PEA, and OEA) work to improve sleep and reduce stress in adults with moderate stress levels and sleep difficulties. It will also learn about the safety of these natural supplements.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Do these supplements improve sleep quality?
* Do they reduce perceived stress levels?
* Do they reduce anxiety symptoms?
* What medical problems do participants have when taking these supplements?

Researchers will compare three active treatment groups (lavender oil, PEA, Trpti which contains OEA) to a placebo (a look-alike capsule that contains no active ingredients) to see if these natural supplements work to improve sleep and reduce stress.

Participants will take 1 capsule (either active supplement or placebo) every day for 8 weeks and attend 2 clinic visits with a phone check in in between.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Effects of Natural Bioactive Compounds on Sleep and Stress: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial This four-arm, parallel-group trial evaluates bioactive compounds targeting stress-sleep pathophysiology (lavender oil, PEA, and OEA). The 8-week intervention employs validated psychometric instruments alongside salivary biomarkers providing objective HPA axis and circadian rhythm assessment. The trial enrolls 240 participants (60 per arm) with moderate stress (PSS ≥14) and sleep complaints.
