THE AEQUO TRIALS

Documented outcomes.
Named methodology.

Most sleep supplements are never tested on the people who buy them. Aequo documents every cohort.

The cortisol curve Aequo tracks. Ideal vs. dysregulated.

Structured observational trials

Aequo trials are structured observational product trials with tracked weekly outcomes. They are not RCTs. They are designed to measure real-world protocol adherence, subjective outcome change, and formulation iteration inputs.

Participants are cognitively overloaded adults with self-reported evening cortisol-related sleep patterns. Outcomes are tracked weekly via the Aequo portal across four metrics: sleep onset, night-waking frequency, evening stress, morning energy.

Cohort outcomes inform every subsequent formula revision.

What we measure
Sleep onset

Time from lights-out to first sleep. Baseline captured at trial start, then measured weekly via portal check-in. Expected movement from week 3.

Night-waking frequency

Specifically the 3–5am wake pattern associated with cortisol-driven arousal events. Measured as frequency per week.

Evening stress

Subjective wind-down quality. Five-state check-in captured daily through the portal, informing the ARC score.

Morning energy

Subjective alertness on waking. Self-reported weekly. Expected movement from week 4 as HPA axis recalibrates.

Aequo trials are structured observational studies. They are not randomized controlled trials. Results are internal research outputs and not a substitute for clinical trial data.
