Determination of the Biological Activity of Enriched Serums on Healthy Volunteers After Consumption of the Kera-Diet® Ingredient

Determination of the Biological Activity of Enriched Serums on Healthy Volunteers After Consumption of the Kera-Diet® Ingredient, CnC2024 - Kera-Diet®

The main objective of this study is, after collecting serum enriched with metabolites of interest resulting from the ingestion of the Kera-Diet® food supplement, to determine the influence of these sera enriched with circulating metabolites (versus naïve sera) on the behavior of human cell cultures, placed under stress conditions or not, in order to evaluate the benefit of these metabolites in maintaining cellular functions.

• Max 5 hours of intense sports per week.
• Weight ≥ 60 kg.
• BMI between 20 and 28 kg/m² (exclusive).

Main exclusion Criteria:

• Any type of vaccination within the past month.
• Alcohol consumption exceeding WHO standards (Sup. 3 drinks per day for men).

• Known pathology (including seasonal).
• Allergy to the study product, particularly to keratin or certain amino acids.
• Individuals following a diet unsuitable for the study (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, or plant-based diets).
