简要总结

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Bio Gelee Royale Forte compared to placebo on frequency, severity, and duration of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) among adults who are otherwise healthy but susceptible to URTIs during cold and flu season. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of Bio Gelee Royale Forte, as compared to placebo, will be measured by the occurrence of and/or changes in treatment emergent adverse effects.

详细描述

The investigational product (IP), Bio Gelee Royale Forte, contains royal jelly which is secreted by the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of nurse bees. Royal jelly is commonly used as a functional food due to its antibacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties. While current evidence suggests royal jelly may play a role in improving human health, little is known about the effects of royal jelly on immune function. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Bio Gelee Royale Forte compared to placebo on immune health in a healthy adult population with self-reported susceptibility to URTIs during cold and flu season.

  • Intrauterine devices
  • Non-heterosexual lifestyle or agrees to use contraception if planning on changing to heterosexual partner(s)
  • Vasectomy of partner at least 6 months prior to screening
  • Abstinence
  • At least two self-reported incidences of URTI in the last 12 months
  • Agrees to maintain current lifestyle as much as possible throughout the study, including diet, exercise, and sleep
  • Agrees to maintain medications/supplements (particularly those used for immunity support) as much as possible throughout the study and not add new supplements to their routine
  • Able and willing to complete all study assessments
  • Provided voluntary and informed consent to participate in the study
  • Generally healthy as determined by medical history with no unstable diagnosed medical conditions

排除标准

  • Individuals who are pregnant, breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study
  • Allergy, sensitivity, intolerance, or dietary restriction preventing consumption of investigational product or placebo ingredients
  • Self-reported allergy to bees or other insects
  • Self-reported autoimmune disease or are immune compromised due to other factors
  • Self-reported current or anticipated severe environmental allergies during the study period requiring medication or need for allergy shots
  • Self-reported ongoing diagnosis of acute or chronic respiratory illness (e.g., asthma, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD))
  • Self-reported ongoing and unstable diseases/conditions in the past three months, including:
  • Arthritis and joint diseases
  • Gastrointestinal diseases
  • Hypertension
  • Type I or type II diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Kidney diseases
  • Liver diseases
  • Thyroid condition
  • Self-reported surgery in the past three months or individuals who have planned surgery during the course of the study
  • Self-reported cancer, except skin basal cell carcinoma completely excised with no chemotherapy or radiation with a follow up that is negative. Volunteers with cancer in full remission for more than five years after diagnosis are acceptable
  • Alcohol intake average of >2 standard drinks per day
  • Alcohol or drug abuse within the last 12 months that has required treatment
  • Current use of prescribed and/or over-the-counter (OTC) medications/supplements that may impact the efficacy and/or safety of the investigational product

结局指标

主要结局

The difference in frequency, severity, and duration of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI).

时间窗: Day -14 to day 84

The difference in frequency, severity, and duration of URTIs as assessed by the Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey-24 (WURSS-24) questionnaire over the 84-day supplementation period between Bio Gelee Royale Forte and Placebo. The average severity score of each symptom is scored on scale of 0- no symptom to 7-severe symptom. A higher score would indicate worse outcome.

次要结局

  • The difference in frequency of URTIs from day -14 to day -1.(day -14 to day -1)
  • The difference in frequency of URTIs from day -14 to day 84.(day -14 to day 84)
  • Severity of URTI symptoms over the 84-day supplementation period.(baseline to day 84)
  • The difference in proportion of participants with incidence of URTIs from day -14 to day -1.(day -14 to day -1)
  • The difference in proportion of participants with incidence of URTIs from baseline to day 84.(baseline to day 84)
  • The difference in duration of URTI symptoms from day -14 to day -1.(day -14 to day 84)
  • The difference in number of sick days from day -14 to day -1.(day -14 to day -1)
  • The difference in number of sick days from day -14 to day 84.(day -14 to day 84)
  • The difference in duration of URTI symptoms from day -14 to day 84.(day -14 to day 84)
  • Use of prescription and non-prescription cold/flu medications to treat URTI symptoms between day -14 to day 84.(day -14 to day 84)
  • The difference in proportion of participants with incidence of URTIs from day -14 to day 84.(day -14 to 84)
  • Use of prescription and non-prescription cold/flu medications to treat URTI symptoms between baseline to day 84.(baseline to day 84)
  • The difference in number of sick days from baseline to day 84.(baseline to day 84)
