简要总结

The present study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group clinical study designed to assess the effects of IP on immune health in teachers prone to URTI. Approximately 179 individuals aged between 18 and 50 years will be screened. Considering a screen failure of 20%, approximately 144 individuals will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive either the active or placebo. The study will have at least 100 completed participants i.e. 50 participants in each study arm after accounting for a dropout/withdrawal rate of 30% at the end of the study. The intervention and follow-up duration for all the study participants will be 120 days.
