Evaluation of Bioavailability of Phenolic Compounds From Oxxynea®

Evaluation of Absorption and Metabolism of Phenolic Compounds From Oxxynea®, a Blend of Fruit and Vegetable Extracts, in Human Healthy Volunteers: a Randomized, Double-blind, Cross-over Trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of phenolic compounds from Oxxynea®, a blend of fruit and vegetable extracts, in healthy volunteers, during a randomized, double-blind and cross-over trial. After a single dose supplementation, both metabolic profile and urinary excretion will be determined over a 48h-period by means of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with a tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) to identify and quantify phenolic metabolites. In parallel, post-prandial potential anti-oxidative and anti-glycemic properties of Oxxynea® will be determined in blood, following consumption of a cafeteria-type breakfast.
