Assessing the Efficacy of Different Carrier Systems in Oral Vitamin B12

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Vitamin B12, a vital nutrient, plays a crucial role in red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. Deficiency in B12 can lead to anemia, neurological symptoms such as tingling or numbness, and cognitive impairment. Oral B12 supplementation serves as an effective strategy to address B12 deficiency, especially for individuals with limited dietary intake or absorption issues. Regular B12 supplementation can help restore body B12 levels, alleviate deficiency-related symptoms, and support overall health and well-being.

Clinical Trial Description

The carrier system in oral vitamin B12 supplements plays a pivotal role in ensuring the stability and efficacy of the supplement. It helps protect the vitamin from degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach, enhancing its bioavailability. Additionally, the carrier system facilitates the transport of vitamin B12 across the gastrointestinal tract, promoting optimal absorption. By optimizing the delivery of B12 to the small intestine, the carrier system maximizes its potential for absorption into the bloodstream. Overall, the choice of carrier system significantly impacts the effectiveness of oral B12 supplementation in addressing deficiency and improving health outcomes. Limited research exists regarding the exploration of various carrier systems used in oral B12 supplementation. This gap hinders a comprehensive understanding of how different carriers affect B12 absorption and efficacy. Further studies are needed to elucidate the optimal carrier system for maximizing B12 bioavailability and improving clinical outcomes. Expanding research in this area can enhance our knowledge and guide the development of more effective oral B12 supplements. This study aims to compare the efficacy of sucrosomial and non-sucrosomial carrier systems in delivering vitamin B12 orally. By assessing absorption kinetics and clinical outcomes, we seek to determine the superiority of the sucrosomial carrier system in enhancing B12 bioavailability. Insights from this research could help in the development of more effective oral B12 supplements. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
