Evaluation of Bioavailability of Phenolic Compounds From Oxxynea®

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Dietary Modification
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Oxxynea®
Dietary Supplement: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT03432104
Lead Sponsor
Fytexia
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of phenolic compounds from Oxxynea®, a blend of fruit and vegetable extracts, in healthy volunteers, during a randomized, double-blind and cross-over trial. After a single dose supplementation, both metabolic profile and urinary excretion will be determined over a 48h-period by means of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with a tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) to identify and quantify phenolic metabolites. In parallel, post-prandial potential anti-oxidative and anti-glycemic properties of Oxxynea® will be determined in blood, following consumption of a cafeteria-type breakfast.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in plasma concentration of phenolic metabolites after acute ingestion of the supplement/placebo0h, 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 24h post-ingestion

Plasma samples will be collected in EDTA tubes in baseline before supplement/placebo intake (0h) and up to 24h according to the time frame. Plasma metabolites will be identified and quantified by HPLC-MS.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in urine phenolic metabolites excretion after acute ingestion of the supplement/placeboBaseline (12h pre-ingestion), 0-3h, 3-6h, 6-10h, 10-14h, 14-24h, 24-32h, 32-48h post-ingestion

Urine samples will be collected in baseline (12h pre-ingestion) and up to 48h according to the time frame. Urine metabolites will be identified and quantified by HPLC-MS.

Change in total circulating antioxidant defences after acute ingestion of the supplement/placebo0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 24h post-ingestion

Red blood cell (RBCs) samples will be collected in EDTA tubes in baseline before supplement/placebo intake (0h), 1h post-ingestion and following a cafeteria-type breakfast, and up to 24h according to the time frame.

RBCs will be submitted to the KRL (Kit Radicaux Libres) test which consists in inducing a free-radical attack to RBCs and to follow hemolysis. Results will be expressed as the time required to reach 50% of maximal hemolysis.

Change in post-prandial glycemia0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h post-ingestion

Glycemia will be measured in a fasted state in baseline before supplement/placebo intake (0h), 1h post-ingestion and following a cafeteria-type breakfast, and up to 6h according to the time frame.

Change in post-prandial insulinemia0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h post-ingestion

Insulinemia will be measured in a fasted state in baseline before supplement/placebo intake (0h), 1h post-ingestion and following a cafeteria-type breakfast, and up to 6h according to the time frame.

Change in sleepiness during the day0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h post-ingestion

Change in sleepiness will be assessed using the Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS), a 7-point self-rating scale. The scale is used to track overall alertness during the day. At each point of the time frame, volunteers will be asked to rate their feelings of sleepiness from 1 to 7 according to the following descriptors:

1. Feeling active, vital, alert, or wide awake

2. Functioning at high levels, but not at peak; able to concentrate

3. Awake, but relaxed; responsive but not fully alert

4. Somewhat foggy, let down

5. Foggy; losing interest in remaining awake; slowed down

6. Sleepy, woozy, fighting sleep; prefer to lie down

7. No longer fighting sleep, sleep onset soon; having dream-like thoughts
