There are no direct costs to you participating in the study, though child/eldercare and taking time off of work to travel to the study site and partake in study visits are all things you should consider when deciding to participate.

Q: How long will it take me to complete the study?

A: Completing the study will require ~19 hours of your time over the course of the 4-month study period. This includes screening visits to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria, baseline testing, safety check-in visits, and post-intervention testing.

A: Unless instructed by your provider, you should continue taking all medications as prescribed. We may ask you to refrain from consuming over-the-counter supplements before your visits, but this is only for non-prescribed supplements. We ask that you inform us of any lifestyle changes during the course of the study, including changes in medications/supplements (doses included!), exercise routine, and diet, as these could potentially impact our measurements.
