Alii Supplement Study

Inclusion Criteria

• •Participants must be on the hormonal birth control pill as the investigators are testing the effectiveness of a supplement for women who take the hormonal birth control pill
• •Participants must be willing to complete a follow up survey as this study will be multiple parts
• •Participants must be willing to take a daily supplement as this study is testing how a supplement influences a variety of psychological outcomes
• •Participants must be on the hormonal birth control pill for at least six months as participants who have been on the pill for less than 6 months may not be experiencing nutritional depletion yet
• •If the investigators are able to do so, the investigators will only recruit participants who take the one-month hormonal birth control pill rather than the three month hormonal birth control pill, as the investigators are going to have participants come in after 28 days (day 2 of pack 1 and day 2 of pack 2) and participants on the three-month HBC pill may be on a 21 day cycle.
• •Participants must have no food or medication allergies that will prevent the participants from safely taking the supplement
• •Participants must not be taking any vitamins or participant must report willingness to abstain from taking vitamins during the study as individuals who are already taking vitamins may not be experiencing nutritional depletion associated with hormonal birth control
• •If the investigators have the ability to do so, the investigators will only recruit participants who are not taking medications. Participants on various medications (e.g., SSRIs, ADHD medications, etc.) may report differing psychological states due to their medications, rather than the supplement. Therefore, it would be best to exclude those individuals if possible.
