Filter by:The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of improving gut health in terms of frequency of bowel movements in newly born infants fed with Feihe investigational formula product containing probiotics fortified with hydrolyzed hey protein. The main question it aims to answer is: - whether the frequency of bowel movements (through 12 months) of participants in the study product arm is significantly better than participants assigned in the other two arms. 240 qualified participants will be randomized to 3 arms (investigational formula, control formula, and breast-feeding) to consume assigned formula or breast-feeding for 12 months according to protocol. There will be up to 6 site visits arranged for each participant during the study, and all relevant clinical and questionnaire data, including the most important primary outcome - frequency of bowel movements through 12 months, will be captured, recorded and entered to CMTS (Clinical Management Trial System) for statistical analysis and reporting. Researchers will compare the three arms to validate the assumption that the consumption of Feihe investigational formula product containing probiotics fortified with hydrolyzed hey protein will improve gut health in newly born infants, along with physical development.
This is a virtual single-arm trial that will last 12 weeks. Participants will take the drops daily and complete questionnaires at Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12. Gut health, bowel movements, stool looseness, constipation, bloating, and regularity will be evaluated at the Baseline and at each check-in. Likert scale responses will be statistically compared from Baseline to each check-in. Participant responses and product feedback will be presented as percentage scores.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of Colon Broom Premium on gut health, metabolism, weight management, and energy levels. The study will be conducted as a virtual single-group trial in which all 120 participants will use the test product. This study will last 12 weeks, and participants will take the product daily. Participants will complete study-specific questionnaires at Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 10, and Week 12. Participants will also provide body weight measurements and body circumference measurements at Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 10, and Week 12. Before & after photographs will be provided at Baseline and Week 12. The Colon Broom Premium supplement contains psyllium seed husk powder, L-carnitine tartrate, CapsimaxⓇ cayenne fruit extract, chromium (as chromium picolinate), vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl), vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin), and Iron. The study Sponsor and product name will remain anonymous to participants throughout the trial. The Sponsor name or product name will not be included in any participant-facing documentation.
The present study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group study to assess the gut health effects of IP as compared to a placebo in overweight individuals experiencing gut issues. Approximately 20 participants aged between 18 and 65 years will be screened for each group. All the five arms of the IP and placebo trial arms will each have at least 10 completed participants after accounting for the screening failure and dropout/withdrawal rate of 20% each. The treatment duration for all the study participants will be 29 days.
The purpose of this research is to assess mucosal immune function responses in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to twice-daily yogurt consumption. Previous research has shown that dairy yogurt intake can benefit gastrointestinal health. The current study will determine whether a dietary intervention with dairy yogurt will improve mucosal immunity and the gut microbiome.
This is a virtual, single-arm clinical trial that will last 4-weeks. Participants will take the supplement daily and complete questionnaires at baseline, week 2, and week 4. Participants will provide photos of their face and stomach at baseline and week 4. Gut health and associated health outcomes, including brain, skin, and immune function, will be evaluated at baseline and at each check-in. Likert scale responses will be statistically compared from baseline to each check-in. Participant responses on product feedback will be presented as % scores. Baseline and endline photos from each study part will be provided by participants.
The present study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group study to assess the gut health effects of IP as compared to a placebo in normal, overweight and obese individuals experiencing gut issues. Approximately 94 will be randomized into 1:1 ratio to either receive IP or Placebo.
Consumers are increasingly encouraged to consume more plant-based foods and lower their consumption of foods from animal origin. This shift is driven by environmental and health factors. However, the consequences of such a transition on muscle mass still remains to be explored. This is of particular importance in the older population, where the age-related reduction in muscle mass and strength is highly prevalent. Adequate dietary intake, specifically protein intake, is a well-known strategy in promoting muscle mass in older adults. Plant-based foods are currently considered to be inferior to animal-based foods in their protein quality, and are therefore considered to be suboptimal for the maintenance of muscle mass at an older age. On the other hand, combining plant-based foods may improve the protein quality and thereby the anabolic properties of a vegan meal. Evidence regarding the anabolic properties of vegan diets in older adults is scarce. As such, the current study aims to assess 1) the effects of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on thigh muscle volume (TMV) in community-dwelling older adults and 2) the effect of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet combined with twice-weekly resistance exercise (RE) on TMV in comparison to a self-composed vegan diet without resistance exercise in community-dwelling older adults.
The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized cross-over dietary intervention among healthy adults to compare the bioavailability and the fecal polyphenol metabolites of intervention foods made with whole aronia berry powder, aronia berry extract, phospholipid-polyphenol (PLP), and a low-polyphenol control. 10 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 28 days.
Dietary fibres are complex carbohydrates present in fruit, vegetables, grains, and beans which are broken down into smaller molecules (short-chain fatty acids) in the colon by the gut microbiota. Increased intake of dietary fibres is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, or heart disease. Despite their health benefits, most people consume half of the daily recommended intake (30 grams) of dietary fibres. This trend has become more apparent in the past few decades with the advent of ultra-processed foods which are poor in dietary fibres. Since this change in dietary habits is more recent, the research team hypothesizes that older generations have a more diverse and better adapted gut microbiota at breaking down dietary fibres compared to younger generations. The aims of this study are to examine the effects of the daily intake over four weeks of a dietary fibres supplement on the gut microbiota, metabolic profiles, and general health in a transgenerational cohort (grandmother, mother and daughter OR mother and daughter) compared to placebo.
