简要总结

Randomized double-blind clinical study versus placebo evaluating the effect of supplementation with rhubarb extract on stool frequency and biological markers of intestinal function in seniors with a low number of defecations per week

详细描述

The main objective was to evaluate the effect of rhubarb extract supplementation on improving intestinal transit in subjects with a low number of defecations per week.

The secondary objectives are to assess: changes in the appearance of the stool; the evolution of the quality of life; the evolution of biological markers of intestinal function; the evolution of the intestinal microbiota; the evolution of low-grade chronic inflammatory markers; the evolution of endotoxemia; the evolution of oxidative stress; the relief experienced; subject satisfaction; the evolution of safety dosages; subject compliance.

The main efficacy criterion is the improvement in intestinal transit assessed by the frequency of stool emissions reported daily from D-14 to D 30.

The secondary endpoints correspond to the evolution of the aspect of the stools evaluated by the Bristol Stool Scale and the evolution of the quality of life evaluated by the SF-12.

They also correspond to the relief of the subjects evaluated on the PGII scale, to the tolerance of the product over the entire study period and in particular the occurrence of diarrhea and to the description of satisfaction on a Likert scale.
