Brief Summary

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

The study evaluated the safety, tolerability and acceptability of a lifestyle modification program with nutritional supplementation designed to restore balance to healthy bowel function in generally healthy subjects

Detailed Description

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

To investigate the safety, tolerance and acceptability of a lifestyle modification and targeted nutraceuticals for balanced bowel function in generally healthy volunteers. To evaluate safety and tolerability, blood samples were drawn for blood counts, metabolic profiles, plasma lipids, and additional cardiovascular risk factors. Quality of life questionnaires, medical symptom questionnaire were evaluated at baseline, week 1, week 2 and week 4. Vitals signs, weight and body composition were monitored at each visit.
