Effect of a Vegan Diet Versus a Mediterranean Diet. Assessing Health

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a vegan diet (supplemented with vitamin B12) and an mediterranean diet on performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, metabolic health, immune status, and environmental impact in healthy adults.

Clinical Trial Description

OMNIVEG is a controlled crossover trial. Initially, registered dietitians conducted an assessment of participants' lifestyles in a preliminary session. Qualified nutritionists then developed personalized diets for each participant in accordance with the recommendations of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN). These diets followed specific guidelines, including a daily intake of 3-5 g of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight, 1.4-2.0 g of protein per kilogram of body weight, and 0.5-1.5 g of fat per kilogram of body weight. Both the mediterranean diet and vegan diets prescribed to the participants were isocaloric, with similar distributions of macronutrients. The primary difference between the two interventions was the source of food: the vegan diet exclusively comprised plant-based foods, while the omnivorous diet included foods of both animal and plant sources. In the case of the omnivorous diet, 60% of the total protein intake was derived from animal sources (mainly from fish, white meat, low-fat dairy and eggs). As part of the vegan diet, participants were instructed to take 1000 µg of cyanocobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) twice a week from Harrison Sport Nutrition, Granada, Spain. This supplementation aimed to ensure adequate vitamin B12 intake, which is essential for individuals following a vegan diet. Throughout the study period, participants were advised to maintain their initial physical exercise frequency and volume to maintain consistency and avoid confounding variables. To ensure standardized measurements, all tests were conducted in the same laboratory, employing identical testing devices, and supervised by the same group of researchers. This approach aimed to minimize experimental variability and improve the reliability of the study's results. ;

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.
