Study Summary

This trial will test if urolithins, a compound found in pecans, can be used as a reliable biomarker of pecan consumption. It will measure levels of urolithins & tocopherols in 30 people after eating a pecan-enriched meal.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-30 with a BMI of 18.5 - 29.9, not affected by gastrointestinal diseases or infections, and not on antibiotics, prebiotics/probiotics, or multivitamins.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how pecan consumption affects urolithin levels in the blood compared to vitamin E levels after eating. Participants will eat meals with or without pecans and have their blood tested over two days.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves consuming pecans and control shakes, side effects may include typical food-related reactions such as allergies but are expected to be minimal.
