About this study

Official title: An Assessment of the Glyconutrient Ambrotose™ on Immunity, Gut Health, and Safety in Men and Women: a Placebo-controlled, Randomized Clinical Trial

This study evaluates the impact of two Ambrotose products on immunity, gut health, and associated measures in healthy men and women. Subjects are randomly assigned in double-blind manner to one of five conditions: 1) 2 grams Advanced Ambrotose, 2) 4 grams Advanced Ambrotose, 3) 2 grams Ambrotose LIFE, 4) 4 grams Ambrotose LIFE, or 5) placebo. Subjects ingested their assigned condition daily for eight weeks.

Read the detailed description

The product Ambrotose, which contains a blend of glyconutrients, has been used by human subjects for several years. It has been shown to enhance immunity, improve cognitive performance, and enhance antioxidant capacity. To date, the treatment with Ambrotose has been very well tolerated, with adverse events limited to "mild" or "self-limiting" or absent altogether.

This study evaluates the impact of two Ambrotose products on immunity, gut health, and associated measures in healthy men and women. Subjects are randomly assigned in double-blind manner to one of five conditions: 1) 2 grams Advanced Ambrotose, 2) 4 grams Ambrotose Advanced, 3) 2 grams Ambrotose LIFE, 4) 4 grams Ambrotose LIFE, or 5) placebo. Subjects ingested their assigned condition daily for eight weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ambrotose LIFE and Advanced Ambrotose in people with Healthy, run by University of Memphis at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

general well-being (Short Form-12) (time frame: at baseline). The study lists 39 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Apr 2021.
