About

The goal of this study is to evaluate the lung-cleansing effects of L Max by measuring changes in Participant Reported Outcome (PRO) Scores and athletic performance. Researchers will compare the results of participants who take L Max and participants who take placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active ingredient).

Participants will:

1. Wear an Oura Ring continuously throughout the study
2. Perform spirometry (a measurement of your lung health) daily
3. Fill out short daily exercise and health logs
4. Perform three timed athletic performance tests over the course of the study and record the results
5. Fill out Participant Reported Outcomes Surveys three times over the course of the study
6. Fill out study product surveys twice over the course of the study
7. Participate in an optional exit survey at the end of the study

Enrollment: 120 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 60 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

---

120 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

L Max Arm

Active Comparator group

Description:

Participants will complete up to a ten week study consisting of screening period, pre-study preparation period, baseline period, a 4-week product use period. Screening assessments, baseline questions, participant reported outcome surveys, exercise, health, and dosing logs, and adverse event reporting will be collected. Participants will have the option of participating in an end of study interview. This study will be conducted remotely and will use a web-based data collection platform, Consumer Health Learning and Organizing Ecosystem (Chloe), by People Science where participants will complete study assessments using the Chloe app during the course of the study. Participants will receive the study product during the pre-study preparation period. Demographic and limited medical history data will be collected for the study.
