Firefighter Health Study
Chicago Clinic
In this study, we are looking for retired or non-active duty firefighters. Firefighters can be exposed to toxins called Per-and polyfluroalkyl substances (PFAS) through their work environment. This study is exploring how a dietary supplement can support the body's removal of these toxins.
PFAS levels will be measured by a blood test at the first visit.
All participants will receive $600 upon completion of the study. Parking is included.


Study Background
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a dietary supplement on gut health and supporting the body’s natural elimination of compounds from non-natural sources over 12 weeks.
What are PFAs?
PFAS, often called “forever chemicals,” are a large group of man-made chemicals that don’t break down easily, which raises concerns for the environment and human health.
What's involved?
The study is divided into two 12-week phases:
-
You will take the study product for 12 weeks
-
Then you will have a 4-week washout break where you won’t take any product
-
After that, you will begin taking the product again for another 12 weeks
-
This means you’ll take the supplement for 24 weeks in total, with a 4-week break in between.
Total time commitment: 3.5 hours
