THE CLINICAL TRIAL
A new study finds that consuming 2 oz of Young Living Essential Oils NingXia Red daily significantly boosts overall health in areas such as sleep, cognitive wellbeing, physical function, and immune health.
As one of the nation’s leading clinical research sites for natural-product evaluation, researchers at The Franklin Health Research Center conducted a randomized clinical trial in the United States at the end of 2020 to evaluate the effects of NingXia Red on multiple health outcomes. 160 healthy adults between the ages of 18-65 were randomized to either a treatment or a control group, with data being collected at the baseline, on day 30, and on day 60 of the study. Each health outcome was measured using multiple clinically and statistically validated instruments that allow for self-reporting of signs and symptoms reflective of overall health status.
Data collected from the treatment group reported on day 60 revealed improved sleep patterns, increased time asleep by an average of 21 minutes, and a decrease in time of falling asleep by an average of 6 minutes when compared to the control group.
As a result of improved sleep quality, NingXia Red drinkers also experienced an average of a 37.9% increase in productivity.
In addition, the study was also clinically shown to reduce daily stress by 23% and improve mental wellbeing.
Compared to the control group, those who consumed NingXia Red were shown to significantly increase physical energy levels by 34.5% and reduce physical limitations by 36%. Physical limitations due to inflammation, physical function, mental wellbeing, and energy levels were measured by the body’s inability to achieve daily physical tasks such as carrying groceries, using stairs, and taking walks.
NingXia Red drinkers also averaged a 27% reduction in somatic symptom scores, which reflects improvement in gastrointestinal health, sleep quality, headaches, and respiratory function. Those who did not consume NingXia Red were more than 5x more likely to develop moderate to severe respiratory symptoms than the NingXia Red group.
Richard Carlson, PhD, Executive Director of Research at Young Living, said: “The results of the NingXia Red study conducted by The Franklin Health Research Center shows the impact this product can have to improve people's quality of life."
