Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether metabolic modulation with a combined nutraceutical product can improve symptoms and metabolic health in adults diagnosed with post-acute Covid-19 vaccination syndrome (PACVS), a condition characterized by persistent fatigue and exercise intolerance attributed to Covid-19 vaccination and confirmed by laboratory testing.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the combined nutraceutical intervention improve quality of life (measured by the PAC-19QoL questionnaire) in PACVS patients?

Does the intervention improve metabolic, inflammatory, and functional biomarkers (e.g., HbA1c, blood lactate, CRP, spike protein levels, heart rate variability, 6-minute walk distance)?

Researchers will compare the intervention group (receiving the ViTAL SCAN nutraceutical) to a placebo group (receiving rice protein powder with vitamin C) to determine if the intervention leads to greater improvements in symptoms and biomarker profiles.

Participants will:

Take the assigned supplement daily for 3 months (ViTAL SCAN or placebo)

Attend clinic visits for blood and urine sampling, physical performance tests (6-minute walk test), and heart rate monitoring

Complete quality of life and health behavior questionnaires

Undergo measurements of metabolic and inflammatory markers (HbA1c, lactate, CRP, spike protein)

Record supplement intake

This study is currently pending IRB approval and aims to enroll 100 adults with PACVS for a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
