ClinConnect Summary

The M4C Nutraceutical Intervention Human Health Effects Pilot is a study designed to explore how specific nutritional supplements, called nutraceuticals, can impact overall health and wellness. The trial will specifically look at various aspects such as energy levels, mental health, weight management, and other health factors over a period of three months. Healthy adults aged 65 to 74 and 29 to 219 years old can participate, as long as they do not have certain health conditions, like blood disorders or severe allergies to the supplements being tested.

Participants will start by completing a health questionnaire and undergoing several tests to measure their health, including checking their blood and body composition. This initial assessment will be followed by similar evaluations each month for three months. The goal is to see how these nutritional supplements affect their health over time. It’s important to note that this study is in its early stages and is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather useful information for future research on health and nutrition.
