Brief Summary  

The current study focuses on clinical validation of efficacy of nutraceutical product in relieving stress and functional dyspepsia symptoms in adults for gut health. The effect of these nutraceuticals not only targets the physical symptoms but also enhances overall well-being. Improved digestive health leads to better nutrient absorption, which is essential for energy levels and immune function. Reduced stress levels contribute to better sleep quality, cognitive function, and emotional stability.
