Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether inter-individual differences in the gut microbiome influence exposure to blueberry polyphenol metabolites. We will use pharmacokinetics of blueberry polyphenols after an acute blueberry exposure to group individuals into "metabotypes", groups of individuals based on similarity in their metabolite profiles. We will then use multi-omic approaches to determine whether the gut microbiome predicts an individual's metabotype.

Conditions

  • Microbiome Analysis
  • Metabolomics

Interventions

OTHER

Freeze-dried blueberry powder beverage

Participants will consume a single oral dose of a standardized blueberry beverage prepared with 22 g of freeze-dried blueberry powder reconstituted in approximately 480 mL of distilled water. The beverage will be consumed in its entirety at the start of the test visit following an overnight fast. This dose is selected to provide a defined quantity of blueberry-derived polyphenols for pharmacokinetic assessment. No additional interventions or comparator treatments will be administered.
