Starch-entrapped Microspheres [Nutrabiotix Fiber] for Gut Health

NCT01210625 · Status: NO_LONGER_AVAILABLE · Type: EXPANDED_ACCESS

Last updated 2023-06-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that daily oral intake of starch-entrapped alginate microspheres (called Nutrabiotix fiber) is well tolerated, exhibits no or minimal "typical" side effects of fiber (e.g. bloating, loose stool, flatulence), can be used as an ideal vehicle to deliver anti-oxidants/anti-inflammatory natural and synthetic substances/agents; and promote gut health by improving bowel habit, by changing the gut microbiota and increasing production of short chain fatty acids, especially butyrate, in the colon and decreasing production of protein putrification (prebiotic effects).
