Brief Summary

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

Participants will ask to answer questionnaire related to general characteristic, lifestyle, dietary pattern and undergo physical examination and measurement of body composition. The subjects will be divided into 2 groups: healthy control and intervention. The intervention group was divided into 3 subgroups: the fermented vegetable (kimchi) group, the kimchi supplemented with polyphenol (Vitexin) group, or the kimchi supplemented with probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) group. The intervention group will be instructed to consume 1 pack of kimchi per day (50 g/pack) with lunch for 2 months.

Detailed Description

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

The subjects will be divided into 2 groups: healthy control and intervention. The intervention group was divided into 3 subgroups: the fermented vegetable (kimchi) group, the kimchi supplemented with polyphenol (Vitexin) group, or the kimchi supplemented with probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) group. The intervention group will be instructed to consume 1 pack of kimchi per day (50 g/pack) with lunch for 2 months. During the study, participants will be strongly encouraged to avoid consuming prebiotics or probiotic supplements, as well as foods such as yogurt, sour milk, fermented vegetables, and fermented fruits, especially 2 weeks before the blood and fecal examination. Compliance will be assessed by monitoring product side effects through follow-up phone calls every week to check on participants' symptoms and assessing the number of sachets or packs they actually consume.
