Brief Summary

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

Adequate antioxidant supply is essential for maintaining metabolic homeostasis and reducing oxidative stress during detoxification. The emerging evidence suggests that certain classes of phytonutrients can help support the detoxification process by stimulating the liver to produce detoxification enzymes or acting as antioxidants that neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals. This study was designed to examine the effects of a guided 28-day metabolic detoxification program in healthy adults. The participants were randomly assigned to consume a whole food, multi-ingredient supplement (education and intervention) or control (education and healthy meal) daily for the duration of the trial.

Detailed Description

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

In this study, the focus is on a cohort of healthy adults enrolled in a guided detoxification program that included a healthy diet education session with or without 28-day nutritional supplementation with a whole food, proprietary multicomponent blend. The primary objective was to determine the improvement in quality of life by a validated self-reported wellness questionnaire known as Promis Global 10. The secondary outcomes were to quantify the functional markers of metabolic detoxification in blood and urine compared to the study baseline to understand the efficacy of the study formulation as part of 28-day nutritional supplementation with a whole food, proprietary multicomponent blend.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SP Detox Program

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The production use and disposal of toxic chemicals and synthetic materials have increased the risk of exposure to health-threatening toxins. Causal relationships between toxic chemicals and diseases have been well established. However, many patients endure chronic symptoms that are associated with exposure to toxins before advanced stages of specific diseases are realized. Thus, there is a great demand for noninvasive laboratory tests that can provide timely assessment of chemical exposure and the capability of hepatic detoxification
