Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure of stress with DASS-42
The measure of stress with stress subscale in magnesium and placebo groups will be performed in order to assess the impact of the dietary supplement on this parameter. This subscale consists of 14 questions of self-evaluation, each of them emphasizing a negative emotional symptom, these feelings of uselessness and hopelessness. Each element is evaluated from zero to three, zero being "not present" and three being "very frequently". It assesses mental health by measuring the severity of stress

Evaluation of the effect of the dietary supplement on quality of sleep
The Pittsburg Sleep Questionnaire Index is a self-questionnaire including 19 items. It was developed to measure the quality of sleep over the month before the patient interview. This questionnaire includes 7 components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, hypnotic medication use and daytime dysfunction. In scoring the PSQI, seven component are evaluated from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The component scores are summed to produce a global score (range 0 to 21). Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality. A score > 5 indicates a sleep disturbance.

Evaluation of the dietary supplement on catastrophism
Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is a questionnaire in which the patient is asked to describe the kind of thought and emotions they feel during pain.

The patient will have to indicate how much he has these thoughts or emotions when he feels pain by giving a score between 0 and 4, 0: not at all, 4: all the time. The final score is the sum of the scores for each question.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim is to study the effect of a dietary supplement on stress and pain through questionnaires and follow-up of physiological parameters, and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in stressed healthy subjects versus stressed healthy subjects without treatment.
Detailed Description
The MAGRITTE monocentric study conducted at Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital is a parallel, randomized, and controlled versus placebo performed in stressed subjects. The main outcome of this study is to demonstrate on stress the effectiveness of a dietary supplement based on magnesium (Mg), vitamins, rhodiola and L-Theanine, compared to placebo, in subjects with chronic stress and free from other pathologies. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the action of Mg dietary supplement on: pain by the Numerical Scale and fMRI, stress by the Numerical Scale and fMRI, anxiety, depression and sleep with questionnaires, selected biological parameters, heart rate variability, microbiota, safety of the product.

Model Description
After pre-selection (Day-14 to Day 0), participants will receive one of the two products in random order (Mg or placebo). Treatment allocation will follow a randomization plan and will be carried out by a Clinical Research Associate totally independent from the protocol. The randomization list and a copy will be edited, placed in a sealed envelope, and submitted to the Pharmacy of the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand and the Clinical Pharmacology Centre of Clermont-Ferrand which is the coordinating centre. For a 5% risk of bilateral species error and a 90% power, it is necessary to include 50 subjects per group to highlight such an effect size. In addition, fMRI examinations will be offered to the first 20 subjects included per group, i.e. 40 subjects, an usual and relatively consensual number for fMRI work.
