The purpose of this double-blind study is to determine the effect of reducing oxalates in the diet of healthy volunteers by using Nephure, an oxalate-reducing enzyme, as compared to placebo.
This study aims at evaluating the effect from Nephure in reducing dietary oxalate in healthy volunteers on a controlled diet as compared to placebo. Subjects are on a normal diet with controlled oxalate (750mg/day) and calcium (550mg/day) levels for 8 consecutive days. The study is a cross-over design with two four-day treatment periods. The study intends to determine level of reduction in urinary oxalate output as a measure of the effect of Nephure on dietary oxalate when ingested with a meal.
