About this study

Official title: Patterns of Plasma Vitamins and Minerals Following Intake of a Multivitamin/ Mineral Formula Produced by Two Different Manufacturing Processes

The objective of this project is to evaluate the postprandial serum and plasma vitamin and mineral levels in healthy adult men and women between 18 and 32 years of age, following a single intake of a multivitamin and mineral supplement processed in two different ways.

Read the detailed description

Serum or plasma levels of five vitamins and four minerals will be measured at baseline, and 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after the intake of a multivitamin/mineral supplement processed by two different methods. The two methods involve using either conventional isolated vitamins and minerals blended together to provide approximately 100% of the Daily Value, or using the same amount of vitamins and minerals that have first been processing into liposomal forms before blending.

Participants are required to come for two study visits which are 5 to 7 days apart. Health screening will also be done at Study Visit 1. The order of supplement assignment will be randomized, performed in a double-blind manner.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multivitamin/mineral supplement A and Multivitamin/mineral supplement B in people with Healthy Nutrition, run by University of California, Davis 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 6 inclusion and 14 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 2 Sep 2022. 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. 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?

Assess the serum or plasma levels of five vitamins and four minerals (time frame: 6 hours). The study lists 9 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 2 Sep 2022.
