Official title:
Safety and Efficacy of a Multivitamin, Multimineral, Bovine Colostrum Containing Supplement RiteStart: An Open Label Trial
This study is undertaken to explore the effects of a bovine colostrum containing MVM (RiteStart) on different health aspects by quantitatively assessing relevant serum and saliva biomarkers, over a 12-week period in participants.
Blood samples were drawn by a certified phlebotomist, prepared, and then analyzed by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified independent laboratory. The following components were measured in sera from the participants: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT), Red Blood Cell Count (RBC), Hematocrit (HCT), Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Mean Cell Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Cell Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), Platelets, Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Monocytes, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils, Hemoglobin, Ferritin, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), Iron, Transferrin Saturation (TS), Folate, Vitamin B12, Calcium, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Red Blood Cell Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Creatine Kinase (CK), Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEAS), Cortisol, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Albumin, Glucose, Total Cholesterol, High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), Triglycerides, White Blood Cell Count (WBC), High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP). Secretory Immunoglobulin A (sIgA) was measured in saliva collected from participants. ;
