Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Resveratrol is associated with a plethora of physiological effects in humans, including modulation of cerebral blood flow, despite apparently poor bioavailability. This study investigated whether the physiological effects of resveratrol could be affected when co-supplemented with piperine, an alkaloid which may be able to enhance the bioavailability of resveratrol.

250mg trans- resveratrol

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Trans- resveratrol

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

All 23 participants who completed the study took part in 3 conditions; receiving either 250mg resveratrol, 250mg resveratrol with 20mg piperine or placebo on separate days (with a 48hr-14 day wash-out period between each treatment) with the order dictated by Latin square. Treatment was in the form of powder and administered in capsule form, in a double blind manner.

Placebo (silica)

Intervention Type OTHER

All 23 participants who completed the study took part in 3 conditions; receiving either 250mg resveratrol, 250mg resveratrol with 20mg piperine or placebo on separate days (with a 48hr-14 day wash-out period between each treatment) with the order dictated by Latin square. Treatment was in the form of powder and administered in capsule form, in a double blind manner.
