Brief Summary

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

The investigators investigate the effect of Chungkookjang on histamine-induced skin reaction in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, human trial

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sixty volunteers (aged 20-80) who gave a written consent before entering the study, were randomized in two groups of thirty subjects each. The skin prick test with histamine was performed on the ventral forearm, 10 cm from the elbow, before and after supplement administration, as well as three times daily for 12 weeks of chungkookjang(35g/day) or placebo(35g/day)intake.
