Sponsor: StudySetGo

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Participants are being invited to take part in a research study. Before deciding whether to take part, it is important for participants to understand why the research is being done and what it will involve. Purpose: This study will investigate whether a multi-ingredient nutritional supplement containing magnesium and melatonin can improve sleep quality in adults who experience disrupted sleep due to nighttime leg cramps. What participation involves: Participation lasts 8 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either the nutritional supplement or a placebo (inactive look-alike) every night before bed for 6 weeks. Participants will wear an Oura Ring wearable device on one finger continuously for 8 weeks throughout the study and complete short questionnaires using a smartphone app. The Oura Ring and study supplement will be sent to the participant's home address. Participants will never need to travel to a research centre; all contact with the research team will be by video call, phone, messaging, or email. How long: Total involvement will be 8 weeks, made up of a 2-week baseline period and a 6-week supplementation period. Each day, participants will complete a short app-based questionnaire (approximately 1 minute). At the end of weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8, participants will complete additional app-based questionnaires (approximately 10 minutes).

Magnesium and melatonin based multi-ingredient dietary supplementation

The active intervention is a commercially available multi-ingredient dietary supplement, supplied by Imagine Biolabs LLC (trading as SaltWrap) and sold under the brand name Mag R\&R. The dose is up to 3 capsules per day taken 30 minutes before bedtime with water. The product is stored at room temperature.

The placebo is manufactured by the same manufacturer that produces the active product (Vitaquest International, New Jersey, USA). The placebo is visually similar to the active product and will be packaged in the same plain bottles as the active intervention to maintain the blind. The placebo dose is up to 3 capsules per day taken with water. Packaging is managed by Vitaquest International.
