Study summary
The primary goal of this study is to observe the impact of the IDP® Supplement on the duration and severity of upper respiratory symptoms in older individuals during the cold and flu season. Secondary aims include observing the product's effect on rescue medication use, quality of life, and overall tolerability. This is conducted as a consumer-driven, decentralized observational clinical research study in adults aged 60 or older, using self-reported measures and questionnaires completed at home via the Chloe App.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Impact on Upper Respiratory Symptom Incidence, Duration and Severity — 17 weeks To evaluate the impact of IDP® Preventative Supplementation on incidence of upper respiratory symptoms, and the duration and severity of any symptoms that occur by measuring the change in incidence of upper respiratory symptoms (frequency, type, duration and severity) between study product and placebo groups. Baseline will be compared as well.
