Researchers are studying whether taking the supplement JDS-HF3.0 can improve quality of life and lessen common menopause symptoms like joint discomfort, hot flashes, and night sweats in women aged 50 to 70. This study aims to find out if daily use of this product for 12 weeks reduces how often and how severe these menopausal symptoms are. About 250 postmenopausal women across the U.S. will take part in this randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group takes the active JDS-HF3.0 supplement, and the other takes a nonactive placebo. Each participant will take two tablets every morning for about 12 weeks. The entire study lasts roughly 14 weeks, including the time spent collecting initial baseline information. All parts of the study are conducted virtually, with no in-person visits required. Throughout the study, participants will complete daily diaries and weekly or monthly questionnaires about their menopause symptoms and overall well-being. There will be five virtual check-ins including screening, baseline, two during the study, and a final visit. Researchers will monitor changes in menopause-related quality of life from enrollment to the end of the study at 12 weeks. This includes tracking symptom severity and frequency, with safety and adherence closely observed during the trial.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | JDS-HF3.0 (Active Supplement) | Placebo Supplement | NSAID Therapy (Standard of Care) |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | An investigational dietary supplement formulated to support menopause-related quality of life and target joint discomfort, hot flashes, and vasomotor symptoms. | A matching placebo supplement used as a control for comparison with the active supplement arm. | NSAIDs are established anti-inflammatory pain-relief medicines commonly used to treat joint discomfort and moderate musculoskeletal pain in postmenopausal women. |
| Role in the trial | Participants are randomly assigned to receive the active supplement and are monitored for changes in menopause-related symptoms and joint discomfort. | Participants take the placebo supplement as a control group to allow comparison with the active supplement group. | Used in routine clinical practice for joint pain and discomfort management during menopause, not part of the trial arms. |
| Primary use | Intended to address joint discomfort, vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes, and overall menopause-related quality of life. | Serves as a comparator to assess the efficacy of the supplement against no active intervention. | Provides pain relief and reduces inflammation in moderate to severe joint discomfort, including menopause-related arthralgia. |
| How it is given/performed | Taken orally as a daily supplement over a 12-week study period. | Taken orally in identical manner to the active supplement. | Usually prescribed as oral tablets or capsules, using standard dose schedules recommended for joint pain management. |
| Evidence status | Efficacy and safety are currently being evaluated in this randomized clinical trial; no published outcome evidence available yet. | Used as a reference to measure changes and symptom response relative to the active supplement. | NSAIDs have extensive published efficacy in joint pain and menopause-related arthralgia, improving pain and function in multiple guideline-reviewed studies. |
| Important limitations | Safety and symptom benefit have not yet been established, and results remain to be published. Limited evidence exists on supplement effectiveness for menopause-related joint discomfort. | Placebo arm does not offer active symptom relief but is necessary for evaluating true supplement effects versus expectation. | NSAIDs are effective for joint pain, but may pose gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and renal risks, especially in older women. Individual risk assessment is necessary before use. |
