This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel study, which will include 5 visits over 10 week period - a screening visit (Visit 1; week -3), a 3-week run-in period followed by baseline determination or baseline visit (Visit 2; day 0), and three test visits (Visits 3, 4, and 5 at days 14, 28, and 56 respectively). SCREENING Visit 1 - Week -3 At Visit 1 (Screening visit) Participants will attend the study site and the following procedures will be carried out: * Participants will receive oral and written information about the study and be allowed to ask questions. * Participants will sign the informed consent document. * Inclusion and exclusion criteria will be reviewed. * Demographic, health, and lifestyle data will be collected. * Medical history will be collected. * Concomitant medication will be recorded. * Height and weight will be measured, and Body Mass Index (BMI) calculated. * Vitals (blood pressure, heart rate and temperature) will be recorded. * Complete Block Fiber screener * Download the Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) questionnaire app to the participants device. * Complete Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HADS) questionnaire. * A blood sample will be collected for screening and safety analysis. * For participants of childbearing potential, a urine sample will be collected, and pregnancy test performed (regardless of contraceptive use or relationship status). * Participants will be provided with a stool collection kit and instructions for collecting and storing their sample. Participants will collect a stool sample at home, within 48 hours of their scheduled visit and bring it to the clinic at their next visit. * Participants will be provided with a saliva collection kit and instructions for collecting and storing their sample. Participants will collect a saliva sample at home, at T0, T30, T45, T60 minutes after waking on the morning of their scheduled visit and bring it to the clinic at their visit. * Participants will be provided with the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS). Participants will complete this 5 minutes after collecting T0 saliva sample on the morning of their scheduled visit and bring it to the clinic at their visit. * Participants will be provided with a 3-day food diary and instructions on how to complete the document. Participants will return their completed diary at their next visit. * Participants will be reminded to complete the questionnaires with 24 hours of their next visit. * Participants will be provided with a provisional appointment to attend a Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. Participants will be given an appointment to return to the study site within 21 days for their baseline/day 1 visit. INTERVENTION PHASE Visit 2 - Day 0 Participants will complete a dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan in advance of taking their first dose of study product, between Day -21 and Day 0.
