Purpose of the Study

This study aims to explore the effects of Magtein, a magnesium supplement, on sleep quality and energy levels in the context of marathon training. By combining the supplement with a structured training regimen, we hope to contribute to scientific knowledge on performance optimization and fatigue management. This research could benefit athletes and individuals seeking to enhance their sleep and energy levels.

The Risks, Discomforts & Benefits of Being in this Study

There are some unique risks, discomforts, and potential benefits of being in this study that you should understand.

Consider your Own Risk-Benefit Comfort Level

We encourage you to thoroughly weigh the risks and benefits of participation. We are placing more responsibility on you to make the right choice than in a traditionally sponsored trial. It is possible that not all risks and benefits are currently known. Participants have the responsibility to consult with their healthcare providers and conduct further research before enrolling in the study.

Personal and Overall Findings

Efforia will provide you with both personal outcomes as well as overall findings. These findings will be made available at various data collection points in your experience in the study or as they are discovered by Efforia. The results and findings may impact your interest and willingness to be involved in the study. Remember, participation is voluntary, and you may exit at any time with an email to help@efforia.com.

Possible Benefits of Participation

Participants may experience improved sleep quality, enhanced energy levels, and better marathon training outcomes. By participating, you also contribute to scientific research that can benefit others. However, there is a possibility that there will be no measurable benefit to you, other than seeing reports that the intervention or treatment had no measurable impact.

Possible Serious Adverse Events & Side Effects

Interventional New Drug Application: Magtein

Introduction and Summary of Known Risks

Magtein, a magnesium-based supplement, is designed to enhance sleep quality and support marathon training. Magnesium plays a crucial role in numerous biochemical reactions and is important for heart health, muscle function, and neurological health. Despite its benefits, magnesium supplementation, including Magtein, can be associated with various side effects and risks.

The following is a summary of known risks. However, research is limited, and there may be risks not covered by this document, risks that are currently unknown or unforeseen. Please consider these risks carefully, do your own research, and talk to a professional who knows you well and has expertise in this area, like your personal physician.

In the Case of an Adverse Event

If you experience a serious adverse event, it is crucial to seek immediate medical care by calling 911. After addressing any acute situations, please contact Efforia to report the incident. This will help us monitor the safety of Magtein and take necessary actions to ensure participant safety.

We are doing everything we can think of to keep your data private and confidential. However, there is no such thing as no risk. Potential participants should review the Efforia general privacy policy, which is available here: https://efforia.com/privacy-policy/.

There may be very certain limits to the rights of your privacy:

• We may reach out to local help if we have reason to believe you may be a harm to yourself and/or others.
• Regulators, like the FDA or similar agency, or Institutional Review boards may review records that have your identifying information.

What to do if you have a study related injury

It is very important that if you have a study-related injury, you should seek local medical care first, if necessary. Efforia cannot provide emergency medical care or diagnosis.

How we Reduce Conflicts of Interest:

It is crucial that participants do not have any financial relationship with the intervention methods or measurement providers used in the trial, nor should they be employees, investors, stakeholders, or protocol authors associated with these entities.
