Effects of Hemp Oil on Markers of Optimal Wellness, Stress Resilience and Recovery in Healthy Subjects
March 3, 2020 updated by: The Center for Applied Health Sciences, LLC
The purpose of this placebo-controlled, double-blind study is to determine the effects of a commercially available (i.e.
dietary supplement) Hemp Oil Extract product on various markers of physical and mental stress resilience, and perceived recovery from normal daily physical & mental stress.
Secondary purposes are to collect information on perceived appetite, mood, feelings of wellbeing, sleep quality, body composition and safety information via standard clinical chemistry panels of sera and plasma.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects that currently exercise more than three times per week.
- Subject has used weight loss medications within the past three months of Screening visit.
- Subject is on thyroid medication at a dose that is not considered stable. Stable is defined as using the same dose consistently for at least 90 days.

- Subject has an active gastrointestinal disorder such as peptic ulcer disease or malabsorption syndrome (mild lactose intolerance or gastroesophageal reflux diseases are acceptable).
- Subjects who have taken anabolic steroids, growth hormone, IGF-1 or other anabolic drugs within the past year.
- Subjects who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or who are nursing.
- Female participants who are < 120 days postpartum before enrolling.
- Subjects who have taken any nutritional supplements that may affect sleep, mood or healthy stress response (including but not limited to Ashwagandha, Valerian root, Melatonin, L-theanine, 5-HTP), or that may affect anabolic/catabolic hormone levels (e.g., androstenedione, DHEA, etc.) within four weeks prior to the start of the study.
- Subjects who have gained or lost more than 5 lbs within 30 days prior to the start of the study.
- Subjects with history of heart disease, peripheral vascular disorders or vaso-occlusive or vasospastic syndromes, psychiatric disorders, or history of malignancy in the previous 5 years except for non-melanoma skin cancer (basal cell cancer or squamous cell cancer of the skin.

- Subjects who had any known allergy to any of the ingredients in any of the test products.
- Subjects who are participating in other research studies.
- Individual has a condition the Investigator believes would interfere with his or her ability to provide informed consent, comply with the study protocol, or which might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the person at undue risk.
- Subjects who smoked or used any tobacco or nicotine containing products within the past year.
- Subjects with syndromes or prescribed medications that may influence body composition, or CVD (e.g. prednisone, Ritalin, Adderall, GH); also protease inhibitors/antivirals (nucleic acid analogs).
- Subjects with orthopedic limitations or injuries that would preclude them from the physical activity intervention in this study.
