Summary

Biostimulants application to vegetables is a useful agronomic approach to reduce the use of pesticides and to improve crop yield and quality by a naturally functionalizing process. The aim of the study is to verify the effects of a nutritional intervention with lettuce Biostimulated by application of seaweed extracts derived from Ecklonia maxima (SwE) in a healthy population in order to assess influence on specific essential minerals like calcium, potassium iron, magnesium, phosphorous (Primary outcome) and metabolisms like glucose, lipid, iron homeostasis (Secondary outcome).
