Inflammation Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects Supplementation of Tart Cherry or Placebo on the Gut Microbiome, Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Health-related Outcomes.
There has been a rapid increase in researching the use of tart cherry supplements in the past 5 years, particularly for inflammatory conditions. Many formulations of cherry supplements exist, however there has been no comparison between these different types. This is particularly important in the realm of inflammation research because sugar is known to increase the inflammatory response. The pill form of cherry supplementation has no added sugar and is naturally low in sugar (< 1g) while the juice form is higher from added sugar. Recent work indicates tart cherry consumption can change gut microbiota, which may modify inflammation. The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of taking a cherry supplement, either in capsule or juice form, on the gut microbiome, inflammation, and health-related variables such as blood pressure, glucose regulation and sleep quality.
Participants will consume a tart cherry or placebo product for 30 days and attend 5 visits in the Exercise Physiology Lab at Ohio University over the 30 day period. They will self-collect a stool sample at baseline, 14 days and 30 days after supplementation. Blood samples will be taken at baseline, 7 days, 14 days, and 30 days after supplementation. Throughout the study participates will rate symptoms (stomach, head, etc.), pain and sleep quality using an online survey for which the link will be emailed. Participants will maintain normal diet and exercise routine and to track these for the duration of the study. ;
