How the Qualia Perimenopause Pilot Study Worked

A formula intended to support women during the perimenopause transition was created and tested in perimenopausal women . Participants took one capsule each day in the morning, with food, for 28 consecutive days. 

Before beginning, and again after 14 and 28 days, participants completed three questionnaires: a menopause questionnaire, a measure of self-reported menopause burden across psychological, physical, and urogenital domains; the PROMIS Cognitive Function 8a, a measure of self-reported thinking, focus, and memory; and the PROMIS Sleep Disturbance 8a, a measure of self-reported sleep quality. Participants also completed weekly safety and tolerability check-ins and an end-of-study experience survey 5–7 days after their final dose. This was an open-label pilot study with no placebo group, so each result compares participants to their own baseline.The results from the participants taking the  formula (Qualia Perimenopause) are reported below.*

Qualia Perimenopause Result Highlights

Qualia Perimenopause supported large reductions in overall perimenopause burden^†*

Seventeen participants completed this 28-day in-home user study on Qualia Perimenopause, finishing baseline, Day 14, and Day 28 questionnaires. Overall perimenopause burden fell by about 52% by Day 14 and by about 62% by Day 28 compared to baseline. Improvements were seen in psychological (such as irritability, low mood, and mental exhaustion with about 60% reduction), physical (such as hot flashes and sleep with about 56% reduction), and urogenital (such as sex drive and vaginal comfort with about 82% reduction). These within-subject improvements were statistically significant from baseline (p < 0.05, with most p < 0.001).^†*

Qualia Perimenopause supported better self-reported cognitive function^†*

On the PROMIS Cognitive Function questionnaire—where a score of about 50 reflects the general-population average—participants improved from a below-average score of about 41 at baseline to about 48 by Day 14 (an improvement of roughly 19%), reaching about 49 by Day 28 (an improvement of roughly 23%). These improvements from baseline were statistically significant.^†*

Qualia Perimenopause supported more restful sleep^†*

On the PROMIS Sleep Disturbance questionnaire, sleep disturbance fell by about 26% from baseline by Day 14 (from roughly 26 to about 19) and by about 32% by Day 28 (to about 17). These within-subject improvements were statistically significant from baseline.^†*

Qualia Perimenopause was well-tolerated^†*

Safety and tolerability were assessed weekly, comparing each participant’s baseline to her final check-in. No tracked tolerability category worsened, and most improved from baseline—consistent with the reductions seen on the menopause questionnaire. A small number of participants reported transient effects such as a brief headache, mild nausea, or bloating, particularly in the first weeks; some attributed these to factors unrelated to the product, such as their menstrual cycle. Overall, Qualia Perimenopause was well-tolerated.^†*

Qualia Perimenopause was rated favorably by most users^††*

Five to seven days after completing the study, participants who took Qualia Perimenopause were asked to describe their overall experience. Seventy-six percent rated their experience as Good or Excellent, the average rating was 4.18 out of 5 stars, and 82% expressed interest in purchasing the product (41% answering “yes” and another 41% “maybe”).^††*

^† Disclaimer: Although these results are highly encouraging, the study was not placebo-controlled and contained a small number of participants. Larger, controlled studies will be required to confirm the findings. Individual results may vary.
