With its unique AI-driven, virtual, and automated approach to study design, Radicle Science will lead an IRB-approved, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with up to 2,000 participants at SupplySide West.

The study will assess several non-caffeinated dietary supplements and their immediate effects on energy, cognitive function, and fatigue on tradeshow attendees.

The B-Corp said the trial will become one of history’s “largest clinical trials on supplements for energy,” and among the “fastest supplement clinical trials, completing in only 36 hours after launching recruitment.”

Interested attendees can visit Radicle Booth 2665 to take part in the study. At the booth, volunteers receive one of three different products or placebo and then complete the trial from their phone, which takes less than 15 minutes total throughout the day.
