Study Summary

This trial is testing how well blueberry compounds are absorbed by the body from blueberry extract and whole blueberry powder.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy, non-smoking adults with a BMI of 18-35 who are not pregnant, planning to conceive, or lactating. Participants must not have any metabolic, digestive or immunologic disorders and no allergies to blueberries, wheat, or soy. They should agree to avoid berries during the study and report any accidental intake.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing how well compounds called anthocyanins from blueberries are absorbed when consumed as part of two different confections: one made from blueberry extract and another from whole blueberry powder. The goal is to understand their impact on health and disease prevention.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve consuming blueberry-based products in healthy individuals, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, potential mild side effects may include allergic reactions or gastrointestinal discomfort for those sensitive to ingredients in the confections.
